I joined in '06 I believe. I stuck to the lower forums mostly, acting like a crazed fan (i.e. a total smurfing noob). I disappeared a few months after joining, lots of personal stuff to deal with. I came back every once in a while, posting angry things. I finally resolved my and came back last year. I've tried joining other forums dedicated to things I like, like certain book series, but holy crap are they boring. Not one other place has even half as many interesting people as EoFF does.
