How long did you lurk/ creep?

[dark-mortality]

It took me around a day to make an account. Yeah, I know, short, but I love ZP, and then I saw the threads which were interesting enough... Then I noticed I needed an AC to answer so I said 'F**K IT, LET'S MAKE AN ACCOUNT!' And I haven't regretted it for a moment.

I found this site thanks to Zero Punctuation. How original, huh? I would visit once a week to view the videos at first. Sometimes after watching a video I would browse a few interesting threads. Then, one day I saw a thread that I just had to add my two cents to, so I registered. It was a thread about the California law that the Supreme Court has since ruled Unconstitutional, for those who are curious. And I haven't looked back since.

Also, welcome to the neighborhood. Hope you enjoy your stay.

EDIT: I forgot to state how long it was. I think it was about 2 months.

Started lurking when someone showed me ZP, gradually started watching other videos and glancing at forum pages, but it took me nearly a year to sign up. This is the only forum account I have, so I still lurk quite a bit.

Since 4/13/2011.

...

Yeah. I started watching Zero Punctuation when one of my friends recommended it to me and showed me a new episode. I specifically remember it being a Wednesday, and the game up at bat was Yakuza 4. I started watching ZP regularly since then. I later started watching other shows (mostly Extra Credits) and checked up the hot forum topics that were there in the corner.

Suddenly on July 28 I registered for no real reason past "I did."

I lurked for a few months before getting an account, but I then only got 200 posts over the past 2 years (and most of those over the past 6 months) before recently becoming more active (Thanks to the Brony group- shout out to those awesome guys! )

It was basically a gradual thing. I slowly became more and more active.

I had been watching Zero Punctuation for a very long time without being a member, but after I started getting interested in the forums as well I joined shortly after. But it must have been a couple of years or so of just watching Yahtzee's videos, reviews etc.
Don't know if I'd call it lurking/creeping though.. as soon as I developed an interest for the forums and responding to the threads, I joined.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Not that long before I made my account, maybe a month or two. When I first made my account, I didn't post that often though.

 

[Doclector]

I lurked for at least a year before joining (i think). Just didn't see a reason to, until one day I just kinda felt like it.

As for creeping, I been creeping since the day I was born...

 

[Andalusa]

I lurked for about 6 months before joining, honestly, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

 

[Sevre]

2 months maybe? Also Welcome to the Escapist.

I used to watch AVGN on Youtube with a friend when we stumbled upon Zero Punctuation, since then we never turned back.

 

[PixelKing]

I joined as soon as I got linked here, and welcome to the escapist family.

 

[Cazza]

I watched Zero Punctuation for I can't remeber how long before even touching the forums. Then I believe it was about a year.

 

[Zinaxos]

Around 10 minutes. My friend showed me an episode of ZP. I made an account immediately after.
Welcome to the Escapist by the way.

 

[Jack Rascal]

I think it was about a year, maybe more. I bought FF13 and was so disappointed with it that I wanted to see what other people thought of it. I stumbled across ZP's take on it and laughed hard. I think I spat some beer on my laptop at "But then combat starts and he literally pulls a boomerang out of his arse and joins the fray. Consistency would be nice". So about a year after that, I finally signed up.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I lurked for about six months, made a profile and then didn't actually start posting regularly for another six.

[Jessabi]

For around a year if I remember correctly. I was quite content just reading what everyone else had to say but eventually decided to create an account of my own jut recently.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

5 mins.

There was a thread talking shit of BBS and I actually written out a Paragraph to call them on their Bullshit.

 

[AzureRaven]

About 6 months of hanging around, then I joined. I figured I wouldn't mind posting some every now and then, plus I was bored one day and wanted to mess around with the quizzes.

 

[jClark94]

I've been lurking for, (according to my profile thing), just over a year now, as I've not really felt the need to add my voice to an argument, so this is my first post on the Escapist.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

I lurked for a couple years before starting a profile. I started coming to this site after like the second ZP video, didn't create a profile until this past November.
