How long did you 'lurk' around PI?

[Aqua Manafi]

How long did you 'lurk' around on these forums? (As in, how long were you here as a guest, before you registered?)

For me, I joined as soon as I clicked the (I think it was a banner) in Virtual Headache's Signature on SPPf. I joined because I felt comfortable here my first visit.

If Virtual Headache is reading, what made you want to create these forums? (I think you may have said this somewhere, not sure though.)

I joined in 2005 right after seeing it, but made no posts and lost interest for two years.

[Cherished Song]

Twenty minutes.

It was mostly because Ellie was pestering me and telling me to join instantly after giving me a link to it.

[Ben Kenobi]

Lurked randomly for about 9 months (first visited in January 2006, I think) before I decided to join one day.

[Crystal Walrein]

I knew about the forum since mid-2005 but didn't register for two years. I only did when I started talking to VH.

[xXRushXx]

Saw a banner to this place in a dead Invisionfree forum...clicked on it, lurked for about a month, then joined.

[§Ellie§]

Umm, hardly any. I usually don't lurk in forums that much anymore before joining, but sometimes I don't post for awhile after joining.

[Electron]

I don't really remember, but about a month or two perhaps.

Then I subtly "lurked" my way in and out of the community for two years, so that I'm now one of the most inactive "active" members. xD

I didn't lurk as a geust! I just joined!
but I have gone through a long period of inactivity here :P

[darkwithrobots]

I lurked for about 3 months and finally decided to join because everyone here seemed so nice.

[Prince of Darkness]

I think I had lurked like a few months, it was back on sppf when I was one of the people that received the chainmail that I decided to ask help of a moderator (which was VH) back then I decided to press the link in her signature, and I saw piforums, I joined like months later.

[Sylux]

A couple of hours. But I realized it's better if you join.

[Arielle]

I can't remember how long I debated on joining, but it was quite a while, at least a month, I'd say. I don't think I really talked to VH, but I knew who she was, so I saw her forum link often enough. I'm not sure why it took me so long to join, though... XD;

[§SilverWing§]

at least a month XD
