My first day here, I signed up and I'm pretty sure that's all I did. The next day, I actually gave myself an avatar and signature, and made a thread in the appropriate section letting everyone know that I exist. Was warmly welcomed here, and since then I've been trying not to lurk as much as I usually do on forums.

Believe it or not, I post more often here than most other forums I'm a part of. I just prefer to read, rather than post I guess.
