Lurked at TFL for a coupla YEARS. Spent over an hour a day reading posts.
Only registered to enlist the Honorable 1911 Tuner's help.
 
Lurked on the TFL for quite a while just to get some information. Later on I decided to post some.
 
I lurked for the better part of a year before I joined. Being pretty new to both guns and pollitics, I didn't feel I had anything to add to the conversation.
 
IIRC, I think I lurked about 5 minutes before upping into TFL.
 
I signed on with TFL after about a week. I grumped around the house for three days when I found TFL was closing. (wife threatened to shoot me to put me out of my misery) Then I found THR was forming and signed on pronto. Never been sorry.
Mark.
 
I heard about TFL when it first opened, but delayed joining for about a month. Finally there were some threads that I thought a lot of guys got wrong (why the DAO pistol evolved) so I finally chimed in.
 
Years.

I still have more to learn than to teach.

Only joined so I could say, "Thanks for all the information and help" and haven't gotten around to sayng it yet.
 
Found out about it from 1911 forum, came over and joined right away. I didn't start posting until very recently. I do ALOT of lurking and feel like I know some of you (as casual acqaintances).

Now that I am posting maybe you will get a chance to know me.
 
I lurked on TFL for a long time, I think I was a poster for a little while before it closed.

I have been lurking here for a long time too. Some will know me from other boards as well.

Great forum, and howdy everyone!

The day I found it, actually.
I was on a Ford Taurus site looking for info and someone had a picture from Oleg's site in there sig.
I followed it here, and signed up in about 5 min of surfing.

Love at first sight:D

RTFM
 
I don't know what all qualifies as lurking. I've been reading posts that dad has shown me from the firing line. So I was kinda lurking since before THR started, but then I lurked for a while, always reading over daddy's shoulder. Still am reading over daddy's shoulder cause then I can read 2 threads at the same time. :D :evil: :neener:
 
I've lurked since TFL was shut down. Getting set up through e-mail on THR was a big no-no at work. But I'm back now. Same handle as I was on TFL.

Yes it's my real name.
I don't care who knows, cause I got 'nuthin to hide.
 
I joined TFL as soon as I knew it existed.

I had been on a friendly, well mannered forum on CompuServe (remember them?) that went bye-bye when AOL came in. They taught me a lot, got me through my first two purchases. When I left due to AOL, I still had a hunger for information that couldn't wait for someone else to ask.

By the way, the core of the CompuServe group is now at FirearmsForum. Great people, but small group. I find the web site less easy to work with than this format.
 
I lurked at The Firing Line for maybe a day before I asked my first question. Been getting good advice there and here ever since. Thanks to Oleg and all who share their thoughts and insights.
