I lurked for a year before I signed up. I was first introduced to the site while looking for the sales of Sly 4 (I was worried that it might've not sold well enough to justify a sequel, seems I was right). After checking on that every once in a while, I eventually started checking out the forum which I had been avoiding til then. Then I lurked for a while and decided to sign up. Now here we are, 2 years and ~10000 posts later!

Ive lurked on and off for the last year or so

I prefer lurching myself

I've lurked since 2011 and still do. I primarily lurk around the COMG and also the off topic threads and occassionally reply here and there. In general, my presence has always been mostly ignored hence why I still lurk most of the time (perhaps I do not how to communicate). But I do enjoy the random threads here and there. I actually learn about a lot of news through here. Though judging from my usual trend, this post will most probably be ignored.

I lurked quite often prior to making this account and to an extent still do. I don't really post that often, but from time to time I do.

I probably lurked for many years. I learned of the site during 2012 I think? Not sure what pushed me to join. I guess I had ideas for threads I wanted to do. So.... I bit the bullet and made the dive. Been here ever since I guess.

I started to lurk during mid 2013. I lurked until end 2014 when I created my account.

I lurked for probably a little under a year before I joined. I tried joining earlier, but there was an issue with my account. I tried joining as CWegz, but I couldn't join since I never got a confirmation e-mail. I tried e-mailing for website issues but got no response, so I gave up and went back to lurking again. Eventually I just gave in and added another z to my usual name and signed up.

I learned of this site years before I joined, though I don't remember the exact timing. I think I was 18-19 years old when I discovered this place, though I never was that active on even being in this site. I started lurking regularly while I was on vacation in Europe (back is July 2014). Then I joined around the beginning of Fall that year, and history forever changed on this site!

That's hot.  We should get together sometime and ...lurch ;)
