How long did you lurk before registering?

[~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-AIN'T]

First came here around when MoTB was released, since VD's review was linked on wikipedia . After that I came here off and on until I finally decided to try some of the games people mentioned here (at this point I wasn't much into RPGs, having only played the BGs, NWNs, and TES games, even liked Oblivion, though far less than Morrowind, until I payed attention to all the criticism of it here and realized the next time I tried to play it that it really was that bad). After having way more fun with Fallout/PS:T/VTM:B than with those other games, I decided Codex was a p cool place and started lurking full-time for about another year. Then I registered for no particular reason and have contributed nothing to the community since

I think I found this place after looking for mods for Morrowind and lurked for a year or two. Finally registered after reading many of the threads and seeing people tended to like what I did and disliked the trend of RPGs had been taking.

I don't tend to like posting anyway (thus my low post count) so I don't "jump in" very often unless I have a specific question or see a bit of news that hasn't been posted yet. Five or six years ago it was easier to "search" for good info here without the lulz or inane banter that has certainly increased. Granted the Codex has always had this but when VD, Edward_R_Murrow, Section8, Elwro, Twinfalls (hell even King Commrade and Volourn) posted regularly they tended to be quite insightful.

You can still find good discussions that are usually free of mod-nazism here, it's just sandwiched between the and the .

Frankly, I don't remember. I learnt about Codex exiestance years ago (it was 2005 I think but I'm not sure) when I was stalking a guy. Google search results on his nickname got me here, and I enjoyed reading his posts, and some game threads but that was it. I bumped into Codex again in 2009, and decided to lurk about, mainly in GD (decline, decline), I was not sure I would ever want to post here.

But one cannot fight a black hole.

I think I lurked around a year tops.

I'd have to dig up some of my early posts to see how long exactly, but it was long enough to be well versed in codexian lore and customs.

I lurked for a while I like this forum and I joined to quench boredom.

 

[Konjad]

lol have u got nothing better to do than posting on the dex?!

 

[Xzar]

About 2 years.

 

[DakaSha]

it was VERY long.. i didnt lurk in a stalking sort of way but i had been reading shit here for at least 5 years and im guessing it was more then 6.

No particular reason. I was just to lazy to register i guess

 

[praetor]

I lurked for about a year before registering.

 

[Luzur]

actually, i have lurked around here on and off since autumn 2003, when someone posted a link to the Codex over on TESF.

A very long time ago, I choose the 6-8 option since its the closest to the time line. The only reason I registered was that I had a car accident and had a long sick leave and nothing to do. If the accident never happened I probably still would not be registered.

 

[Araanor]

Registered. Posted. Then lurked. We're in the future now, right? Where's my Arcanum 2?

 

[corvus]

A few months, enough to get a sense of what this place was like and to get informed on all the Codexian Lore (pretty easy, since this place has a lot more character than other forums I've been).

So many Older Ones nicks here... my humble person just sign in after reading great text - Dragon Age: Choices and Consequences - by Vault Dweller, saying to myself – “My God, at least, some sane words in the internet about DAO”. No lurking period.

Ps. But I got some training in Usenet fields before... Codex of Codex reminds me some of golden time of internet discussion, where everybody was from .edu or something and knows Mr. Godwin laws. No to mention proper discipline of discussion. Wait... I'm overacting... probably

 

[Angthoron]

Something like three-four years, and at some point before/during that, I only, err... read Codex for the articles

Think at some point a steady flow of articles and newsposts ceased, so I decided to check what the deal with that was.

Elder Codices: Trolls of Duty.

 

[Elwro]

I lurked for about a month, I guess. I registered to bitch about Saint Proverbius saying that Serbs were Slavs. I registered, then I checked, and what do you know -- Serbs were Slavs. Since I could see that the site offered endless educational opportunities, I decided to stay.

I registered within days after finding out about this site, so I can just say I did not lurk. I'm proud and pure new member. I found reviews on this site very interesting, but I started reading them just recently (my first one was Konjad's Quickie). I still have a long way to go before I'll rate RPGCodex though.

[CarnivalBizarre]

Been here occasionally to read some stuff, but not even once a year. Then I wanted to nag some, so I registered and did. Now I mostly lurk again ...
