Just wondering how long people have lurked and watched the forum for a long time before actually signing up? A post I remember reading at FinchSells said he lurked for about a year and a half
I lured for about 6 months after finding out about WickedFire forums
Reason:
My reasons were pretty obvious... I didn't know many folks in the community that well at the time, and read the posts for information value. Yes I raped WickedFire for some time, felt guilty, and made myself a member.
Way back when I was still Googling UrbanDictionary to find out wtf people were talking about, I was apprehensive about becoming a member of a lot of forums. You see noobs being taken apart by the lions, and you royally shit yourself. Then I saw some posts I had to take the piss out of... Turns out I was pretty good at that, and became a valued member of the community. I know a few of the guys here now, so I don't feel so much of an outcast and a leper. Except for the lesions.
How long were you a lurker, before registering? And why?!
