Well, the whole discussion thing I was hoping for hasn't quite worked out yet, so hopefully this will get the ball rolling. What year did you join and what made you decide to join?
I joined in February 05. I saw a lot of things around The Pit during my brief time as a lurker that I wanted to share my opinion on. I decided it was time to sign up when I saw that there was a thread on Megaman. That was basically the straw that broke the camel's back, but in a good way.

August '05 (on this account; '04 in my last one, TWP_man). No real story behind it, other than I lurked for a year. |

I don't understand how people were able to lurk for a year or more. I lurked for a couple weeks before deciding it was time to get in on the shenanigans.  |

Mostly I just didn't know what Forum and Thread meant. I had never been to an online forum thingy before and just didn't want to mess with it.
Then I got over it. |

Damn dude, that's a long time. Given that I joined just in time to catch the last really good year of Pit action before it all went to hell, I'd imagine that if I'd joined in 02 I wouldn't be able to stomach the place anymore.
I actually wasn't playing guitar back then, anyways. |

I started coming to UG for tabs at first around September '04. I would always just look at the first page for the headlines then find tabs but I never scrolled down so I never saw the UG Community thing under the headlines for about a year. Then on one enchanted evening. Behold! I scrolled down and saw a title that caught my young innocent attention. I clicked on the link and as they say: the rest is history. |

Mid 05' somewhere, after lurking for about 4-5 months, of course, after I joined I've posted like...200 times since 2005, but I like lurking and reading, I'm not as clever as most of the pit-goers so I tend to watch rather than do. |

I lurked for quite a while and just used the site for tabs, but October of '05 was when I signed up and began posting regularly in The Pit. The first couple of years were the best, but now there just doesn't seem to be a whole lot going on. Well, at least nothing that's relative to my interests. I miss the good old days. |
