A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 1, 2004 How long did you lurk here before joining STFS (poll above) and what was it that caused you to take the plunge and become a member? I was so happy to have a way outta of being a regular at st.com that I jumped right in and never looked back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Data 0 Posted April 2, 2004 I would of said a few minutes but I had checked the place a little the day before I joined. I think the reason I did not register the first day was that I just enjoyed reading the threads. When I went off the link, I did not register. The following day, I registered before I began to read. I then introduced myself on the new members intro forum. After that, I proceeded to read. I did not really post anything for about a week. Eventualy I started to get to know some of the members. As you notice, I never really did post much. I am surprised I have as many as I do. Actually, most of my posts are from last summer. There has been so much going on in my life, that I really have not had much of chance to be around here much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted April 2, 2004 I actually had been lurking for about a week, since I had seen the link at ST.com. Then after that week of reading the old threads, I ended up joining not too long after Takara did, and the rest is history. Nowadays I do not post much because I have a lot going on in my life. Yeah I do have a high post count, but majority of those posts came from my first few months here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EJP Posted April 2, 2004 I lurked a few minutes. I'll be honest and tell you why I joined. I needed a new Trek site to hang at, since Startrek.com lost it's chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valeris 2 Posted April 2, 2004 I came here because I was told that the people from the ST.com lounge were now here and I signed up almost immediately just so I could talk to people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barry 0 Posted April 4, 2004 I used to be in Voyagers Log UK until I came upon this site, and I found it a lot better and more friendly with more forums to read through, so after a few hours of going through everything I decided to join up and have been here ever since, and I'm really glad I did this site is great long may it continue :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
