How long did you 'lurk' before you signed up?

[Scort]

A couple of years if I remember correctly, I started my current job back in Jan 2003, and I was always reading the forums in the job before, so I would imagine early 2002 would have been when I started checking the forums, no idea why I didn't sign up though

Scort.

 

[OneTime]

6 months here

Had trouble finding a 'proper' email

Ya same...about 6months

 

[CaptainComedy]

Started shopping on the site in 2001, initially I had got it confused with the .com site

 

[shauncr91]

About a year

 

[Fiocca]

5 years or about that.

 

[danza]

A couple of days. Took a while for my account to be activated though.

 

[Tibbs]

Not long. Boyfriend introduced me to it, I wanted to sign up straight away. Just waited a few days for it to be sorted (had trouble with email).

 

[kenshinu]

about a year for me had to wait to get a "proper" e-mail x,x

 

[Munster]

About a year, but only because I forgot my password and which E-Mail address I signed up with DOH!

 

[Pixel]

Signed up straight away, but lurked for a while before actually posting anything.

 

[GeForce]

Signed up straight away, but lurked for a while before actually posting anything.

Same here

 

[jmhduck]

maybe a few weeks max

 

[Duke]

A few months I think. If I remember correctly there was some restriction on signing up or something so just had to try it a few times until they let more in

 

[Meatball]

Quite a while. Most of the time I just read the forums without contributing .

 

[mjer1984]

couple of minutes i suppose.

 

[Munky1080]

About a year, as generally I can't be bothered posting on forums!

 

[Crimefighter]

Another one for the "proper" email problem - also took about 5 days to activate so I thought something was wrong with my app.

 

[memyselfandi]

About 18 months, I tended to only read the technical forums then and not venture into the others. Eventually stopped reading a couple of other forums and mailing lists I had been and got around to signing up on here.

 

[Mr.Orb]

About a month, I don't post that much anyway.
