From lurking to posting

[knhirt]

Yeah, I lurked for a while.
Here's how it went:
First, I came for Zero Punctuation, then I started reading the articles (+ reading the comments, sometimes), then I created my account a while later, then I started commenting every now and then. I mostly just comment on threads I notice on the front page.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

I signed up because I wantd to comment on something.

Also, sometimes I write out a reply then dont post it, which I kinda consider lurking

 

[BRMXJzjsoawk321]

I am still a lurker.

 

[Argtee]

I lurked for a while before actually joining.

I can't remember the exact amount of time that I lurked for, but it was anywhere between 5 to 12 months.

 

[Syrus Vikeruce]

Nope just posted right on in there.

Being a dick helps.

 

[Omega Pirate]

Took me about 3 years before I made an account, I just watched the Zero Punctuation Reviews.

 

[Roxas1359]

I lurked for a long time; over a year to be exact before I joined. I remember many of the things that happened in 08 and early 09; seen users join and be banned, and seen the creation of new forums.

 

[Sleekgiant]

I joined on a whim and immediately started posting.

 

[Thebiggestpanda]

I lurked for about two years before I started posting. Zero Punctuation is what brought me to this sight.

 

[Mistermixmaster]

Yeah, I did. Dunno for how long though. Guess I still kinda do, as I seldom post where I feel I won't be giving any helpful insight (this is one of the few exceptions I guess).

 

[HK_01]

I lurked for a bit more than 6 months before actually joining.

 

[x0ny]

Really just watched ZP, then noticed the hot topics section to the right of the video, started having a read. Wasn't until much later I found a thread in which I felt compelled to post in.

The thread was "Games you still haven't completed yet".

 

[WittyInfidel]

Been here for quite a while. Took forever to make an account, but so glad I did. I get to converse with some pretty intelligent people.

I still don't post too often, but I do read much of what flows through here. Pretty interesting stuff between the chaff.

 

[Jodah]

I've had quite a bit of experience with forums in the past, so I had no problem jumping into things. I am quite selective with the threads I post in, though.

Pretty much this. At first I didn't come to the boards at all but once I did I started posting fairly quickly. I just don't post a lot.

 

[F'Angus]

I still tend to lurk though I'm posting more than I used to. Still not much though.

 

[USSR]

I honestly joined for Unforgotten Realms.
I figured out there were forums shortly after I saw (Comments: 40)

I didn't really post for a month or two..

Ah.. the good ol' days.

Back when we had Max, Sanity, and Indigo

 

[Kadmeon]

I never stopped lurking.

Wait.

OH SHI-

 

[Naheal]

I was introduced to the Escapist from the Mailbag Showdown episode of ZP. I signed up when I found something that I wanted to respond to.

 

[Thedayrecker]

I lurked for about a year. Then one day I decided to talk about.... something.... too lazy to look

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I watched every ZP video up to the time, stayed for a few weeks, rewatched ZP, etc. I saw the forums, had previous experience in one and thought "hey, why not?
