    Basically, I found it while googling a question on sexuality, looked around a little bit, decided to sign up. ^-^

    Found this site.... felt at home.... signed up right away.

    I needed a lifeline and found it!

    Thanks to all of you, the admins, and moderators! (*hug*)

    I knew lurking would have been a waste of exp- I mean, awesomeness. Why wait?

    I didn't lurk at all. As soon as I found out about the site I made the account and if I remember correctly it wouldn't even let me view the forums unless I was a member, but maybe I'm wrong.

    I hovered around the site a couple of weeks just to get a vibe. And I liked what I saw. :grin:

    A month, I think. More laziness than real lurking though.

    Found EC, lurked around for a month. Got scared from all the feels that I got, ran away. Came back 6 months later, immediately made an account and started posting!

    Got freaked out, searched 'being gay' or something like that on teh interwebs and signed up straight away. Since then, I've been remissing back into denial and shame before coming crawling back once again.

    A long time. Too long perhaps. I've just managed the courage to make an account today.

    A week or so, I checked to see if it was active and if people were nice to each other before I signed up.
