<p>Anonymous99, I too was a leecher (I also am an avid bittorrent user) for quite some time before I made an account on here. It wasn't intentional though, I wasn't able to make an account before for some reason... oh well</p>
<p>I was definitely a lurker/leecher for a year or two before I made an account.
Actually, I was hesitant to make an account because I was afraid I would ask an idiotic question and then get flamed. uhh...I didn't have much logic back then, considering I completely overlooked the whole anonymous poster business.</p>
<p>It was my mother who showed me the site, expecting me to use it as a source of information, not to join it. I swear she had been searching college stuff even before I was in middle school. It's kind of weird to think that she could very well be reading my posts (as a lurker that is).</p>
<p>I don't think I could read these forums and not post. I think lurked for a week or two before I made an account.</p>
<p>And the term Lurker always reminds me of Starcraft.</p>
<p>I lurked for a year because I didn't have a home computer. :D</p>
<p>I lurked for 30-40min and I was like - this is my home - and i created an acount</p>
