40kforums was filled with a bunch of d-bags. No biggie.

I was a lurker for like 2 days, haha.

Lurked for about a week.

Signed up. Haven't looked back.

Still am mostly.

I have been on Dakka since it was just a club forum, late 1999/early 2000.

I still read postings everyday, have a plog that I will (as soon as I finish up my deployment) update pretty regular. Otherwise, I have maybe posted 500 times in 10 years, across the ezboards, and then later incantations of Dakka. I did get to go to b&m Dakka a bunch, which was cool though.

My friends didn't play 40k, so I signed up to ask lots of questions.

LOTS and LOTS of questions.

I think I lurked for a couple weeks by accident. I can't even remember why I found this forum, but it looked better than the others, seemed to have more content, and the people weren't (entirely) always trashing everything. Eventually I just started posting.

I'm still lurking. I pop out into a random thread here and there, usually with a witty rejoinder or a bit of clarification before slipping back into the shadows for several months. I do this here, on Warseer, B&C, and a number of other message boards. I just don't have the energy to get into protracted "discussions" with other people over a forum medium anymore. I used to be an ATT monkey back when I played Tau, but... not so much anymore.

But then, by nature of my lurking, I suppose no one really cares about my "whole deal." Blip on the radar so to speak.

At least I'm maintaining a low 'Net profile...

a lurker? erm...for about 2 seconds???

I'm still a lurker, I hardly post on the forums I read. *shrugs* usually someone says what I was going to say for me, and I generally avoid speculation and opinion threads.

I don't lurk, except recently when I've got nothing new going on. Was recommended this site and signed right up.

2 weeks. I was referred from another person I met at the local FLGS. The thing that caught me above the other sites was, amazingly, the Dakka Humor threads.

That, and while Dakka can be silly and self-depracating, it also can have VERY serious conversations. It's like Harvey-Two Face.


Edit: Although sometimes I don't realize I'm lurking until I find out that I haven't logged in.........

I lurked. I loled.

I lurked. I loled.

I lurked. I ROFLed. I signed up.

About a week.

I lurked for about a year. I didn't have time to be active in forums but I found this to be a great source for conversion and painting tips along with some damned neat pictures.

Signed up as soon as I actually had some free time.

I lurked a rather long time before joining. And instantly forgot I did Okay, gotta make up for the time wasted on live without posting here!

I first started looking at dakka when they have the Tyranid Picnic , i would visit the site everyday for a whole week trying to browse all the gallery ( this was when dakka didnt really have gallery i think )

I was drawn here a couple of years ago by H.B.M.C.'s Codex: CSM review, just as I was getting into 40k.

Joined up early last year after getting over some bad experiences on other forums.

Just out of curiosity , what happend to the Tyranid Picnic section? I was really sad when i searched google , and the results were.....

my posts -_-

I was looking for a board that discussed Battlefleet Gothic which it did a lot back in the early years. I joined as soon as I found Dakka my first thread was help with an Imperial fleet list.

I took an interest in mainstream 40k later but took a while to find my feet.

I'm not sure if I'd be classed as a lurker - I just don't get time to post very much (I work to hard )

I have been an (occasionally) active member on Dakka since late 2000 though

Must say I lurked for years.

glad I finally signed up though

It is part of the history of dakka article now : http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/The_History_of_Dakka

I lurked around 6 months before joining.... then got sucked into the mental vortex that is the OT board.

My word. I just found...... THE WASTELAND!....

Why have I never heard this place mentioned before?

Lurked for about 6 months, probably, before I joined up and introduced myself with "I will paint. There will be pics. Maybe this will kick my ass in gear..." About 2 months after that, I posted a trio of painted figures. My only ones painted to date. I've been posting more and more as time goes on, but I jump around threads too much to really debate at length, and I try to avoid going crazy with "me too!" posts. I'd like to think that since joining, I've been a productive member.
