After a long break from a forum, I notice that I tend not to post a lot until I get the feel of the forum again.
One week the time it takes for a ban to wear off...
It depends if theres people I know~
It depends.
If I'm new, and the place suits me, I jump right in.
If I'm coming back, there needs to be a reason to make me stay, or I'll merely lurk.
It kinda takes me a little while to fit in with a forum... I need to know who's who and stuff... Find common ground and stuff like that... If I don't I just lurk around...
I always lurk. Always. Notice the posts.
I really have no life. I usually just come on forums just to read but never to post.
I usually know immediately if I am going to stick around. This place was obvious, but take other forums...bluexoon = anime + stepmania when I joined, so that was obvious. GHA was kinda slow so I knew I'd drop it.
Stuff like that.
Usually until I make a friend.
Almost always when I just register. ;)
Depends on the site. Some I can become apart of quickly, others I never fully feel apart of and simply lurk.
Most of the ones I go to I know someone. So not long at all.
...Depends on the people there and the type of server...
...VBulletin ftw...
FCD 3 years ago was great, and really casual, nobody acting all high and mighty or whatever, so I went right in and just followed it to here.
This is actually the only forum I'm active on at all, cuz of how I fit in, and I don't have time to check up on more than one, really.
awhile cuz i gotta get to no the members
Depends on if I know the users. It helps to be around when the forum is just starting up.
I'm kinda active here since I am a member of FCD and followed the migrations. =P
On most other forums I join for a few reasons and post until I get my answers. After that I'll become inactive and probably won't get back on unless I find more questions/ reasons.
If it's a completely new forum, I usually lurk for a day or two.
If I'm returning after a while, I don't hesitate to post again.
I used to 'hang out' with Thunderdude and the ancient smash board, so I was able to fit in.
I honestly don't know what's keeping me here now.
Probably until I figure out who's who, what everyone's like, and how everything works.
