I used the walk-throughs on the front site for about a year before I even realized there was a forum. And then it was a couple months of just browsing it before actually joining.
I was 15 then and am 20 now. I've grown a lot, but at the same time, not so much.
I've never been much of poster myself. I like to read what everyone else is posting and occasionally commenting on it. I've had a couple breaks in being here, but never for long. I just can't stay away, there isn't really anywhere else for me.
