I delurked in 2000 or 2001, whenever it was that the news got out that Nick Brendon was getting married, because I was all excited about having taken acting classes with his fiancée (and now that I look at IMDB, they're filing for divorce, which makes me sadder than I can account for since I haven't seen her in 17 years). I delurked to squee and then got embarrassed about looking like a dork, a starfucker, or just an idiot, and relurked for a bit.
(eta: Well, I feel sad because she was kind and big-hearted and a total and utter little puppycat of a college girl when we took the classes together, and everyone wanted to sprinkle her with glitter and roll her in kittens and eat her up. Also, looking at her IMDB picture, she now looks gaunt and stressed and not at all like the puppycat of years ago. So, sad now.)
I think she was at the event he spoke at when L and I saw him. If that was her, she did seem nice- at least uber patient while fans gibbered at him.

I delurked to become friends with Tim, wait for him to leave me something awesome in his will, then kill and eat him.
I see a flaw in your nefarious plan, paperdol. How will you know when he's changed his will? Be a shame to kill and eat him and still not get a pony.
I think my only reason for delurking was that it was the final season of Buffy (or was about to be), time was running out. Stayed in the show threads for a long time, though. Maybe a year.
I'm still not in the will. I ask from time to time.
If a lurker falls in the forest...
Lurkers never fall. They're supported in email.
Somewhere I think I have my first posts. God, I was obnoxious. There's a COMM somewhere where I think I re-delurked, because I know I left for a lot of the WX era because I hated the interface. I know I hit TT in late 1997/early 1998.
God.
Aw, I always love when we start talking about our roots! My first post was right before OMWF aired, and I spelled "cemetery" wrong. Nobody pointed it out, but I was horribly embarrassed. Luckily you all let me stick around anyway.
