I think about 8-ish years ago. Not entirely sure which forum though. Probably some local heavy metal board.
how long have you been on forums?

And you have only been here a year more than I have, where the hell did those posts come from??? You are a beast.
You are also posting like mad... a few weeks ago I had never seen you, and now you are everywhere, early and have just about caught me O.Ostaika said:
You are both hiding something from me... must I eat the baby seal to add points to my posting speed skill?
And yes. You must hug and then devour an entire seal to gain entry.
The whole thing? Do you know how bad seal-bladders taste?!
I cannot see teh glowing pink eyes I'm afraid, it is too fast for that.staika said:
I'm sure you'll get Neo, you have been raping most Escapists with posting speed recently, and you seem to have a cool head from what I have noticed, rather unlike myself on Religion & Politics
Don't worry, I wouldn't try to add glow to this icon-y thing, maybe I should spin the centre-piece for my first gif, then I will get a nice glowing one.
I've been on forums for 9 years now. Surprised it's been that long. I didn't start here, obviously. I started on GameFAQs, which I have since abandoned without a backwards glance.
Longer then some I'd say.
If I remember correctly my first post was a joke saying that the majority of final fantasy charecters come off girlish. I was then ridiculed and taken seriously.
In the persons defense I wasn't good at communicating on large forums, as all of my prior forums were for clans in which I was part of the scrim tournament team way back when I actually had good internet. Essentially these were people I already knew before I signed up on the forums, and they knew me pretty well. I wasn't used to posting in a great sea of people, none of which I knew.
I still had problems getting people to understand me so I just turned to a more joking nature. I sometimes go srs business mode, but most of the time it's a light hearted attitude
Now a days I lurk. Not really all that interested in dipping back into the community, and frankly I think it's a good thing. The community has changed for me, and I see more negative then good so I think it's best to just browse and look at the change.
Because of all of this, I'd say the Escapist was my first, and most likely last forum. Except for maybe reddit if I get into that.

That's why I don't go on the R&P section, it's all flame bait for me there and I have written out many long three page essays as responses and then I just delete them because it's overly mean or something :/brandon237 said:I cannot see teh glowing pink eyes I'm afraid, it is too fast for that.staika said:

And spinning the image always sounded like it would be hard for me at first but I figured out how to do it, as well as zooming in on the avatar (that one was a little hard to figure out how to do). If you need any help with making it or you just want me to do it I can help ^-^
I only really started posting actively here 3 months after I made the account.
Oh and this has been my only forum thus far.

I'm a dinosaur dating back to local dial-up BBS forums, QuantumLink forums, and newsgroups. Sadly, some here are so young they'll have to look up any of these to know what I'm talking about.

I pretty much stop by a couple times a day, to see if there is anything new since the last time, but I don't always post.

Well I've been coming here since Yahtzee's 6th or 7thish video. It was definitely in the first 10 and I've been on the forum for Three years and 3 months. If you mean in general I really have no idea probably about 6 years? I really don't know.
Dial up BBS on a 14.4 baud modem for a play by post Diplomacy game... 23... years ago now... To be fair it was mostly my dad playing. I just thought it was really cool that real people were sending messages to his computer.
As for when I first took the plunge into forum (like) posting it was rec.games.frp.dnd back in 1990ish.

Apparently I've been here since 6 Jan 2011, so that's nearly 9 months, though I did lurk about a bit beforehand. Time flies.
I started on The Escapist shortly after Yahtzee's second episode, though I didn't get around to creating an account till much later.
Definitely not my first forum, I started on BBS's and got into forums as we know them in 2001. In fact I currently moderate two forums and admin a gaming clan.

The problem is, I find R&P to be the most fascinating, stimulating forum... so I post there a decent amount, although I know the risks.

) you are fine and the people will listen. I have actually swayed people there. Yes, I changed someone's mind on a topic through an internet debate. And have had people ask me in PMs to explain things to them, so a part of me always go back to the flames... bloody pyromaniac genes (my father burnt an entire field as a child... one owned by his neighbour).What program do you use for image editing?
I use Gimp 2.6.
For the spinning I think I will just rotate the layer that has the face under the shine. For zooming I use the zoom-blur, with slight increments each frame, I think that'll work.
I have used Zoom already for a program I made for homework:
Before the click, when there is no zoom on the OK button:
After the click, when there is zoom on the OK button:
