Title: Lurking
Post by: G.K. on March 22, 2010, 07:55:02 AM
I haven't seen another thread like this. Say how long you lurked for, when, and any observations.

I lurked for at least a month before joining. From what I read, I considered Nary a jerk, LDL a jerk, and Nicsan, 40757 and TriTon to be the same person. I was critisized by Nary on YT. I survived and registered.

I just only spend my time in the Downloading section... And I remember one BOTM winner, It was some kind of Full Body Spinner with Flamethrowers & Yellow Iron Spikes.

Why was I considered a jerk?

Also I lurked and I remembered people complaining about LRA2.

Found the forums back in November '08.  Didn't spend much time there.  In March, I downloaded DSL and started lurking, mostly viewing DSL showcases and some other stuff.   

I lurked for three months, and mainly because:
1. I prefer to leave a good first impression when I introduce myself
2. Infiniteinertia

I lurked for a year almost always in the front page and download section then I registered, posted then lurked again till I found my fail post (which was almost another year if I remember right) and then i started to post after then.

I lurked for about 2 months. I didnt have any reason to join till I had an idea for new parts for DSL3 so then I joined.

Post by: S.T.C. on March 22, 2010, 10:04:09 AM
...yup
AAAANYWAAAYS

I've lurked for a loong time cause a few months after I joined (2007 and I was a lurker at the time), the forum changed (its host was "wizforum" or something) and I couldn't find this account anymore. I decided to make another account after I met infiniteinertia on multiplayer and he told me it would be a good idea. After that I re-joined as "Overload" on the wizforum and lurked for a while again, I made a showcase and got critiziced by someone, after that I decided to lurk for a while longer (I also uploaded bots into the old bot exchange). Eventually the forum changed again, this old account showed up again so I continued using it and lurked for a few more months. Then I made my DSL Showcase and here I am.

All of that happened in under the period of three and a half years =P

I didn't lurk as such... I got the game, decided I liked it, stumbled across the forums and joined up XD

who here remembers the dark skin?
Title: Re: Lurking
Post by: Somebody on March 22, 2010, 03:48:54 PM
I wish we still HAD the dark skin. The light one drains my cell battery. It also gives me eye strain. Which gives me headaches. Which lead to migraines. And then I puke. I have seriously puked at least twice probably about 3 times from just being on GTM too long.
Title: Re: Lurking
Post by: Sparkey98 on March 22, 2010, 03:51:45 PM
same here, it should be like other forums were you can pick a skin of your own.
Title: Re: Lurking
Post by: Reier on March 22, 2010, 03:52:52 PM
I lurked for about 3 months or so as I recall, trying to get good, downloading DSL, blah blah blah.

Lurked for about 2 months, never really went on the forum much, Finally mustered up my courage and here I am.

Post by: Virus Bomb on March 22, 2010, 03:58:48 PM
I lurked since like July 08. I remember believing that everyone played DSL and stock was gay. I stopped lurking in September 08 and then came back again early last year. I got over my "stock is gay" belief after watching BBEANS 5 and tried to become good at it after I got bored in DSL. I eventually tried to get good in DSL too.

ACAMS, I had NO Idea YOU spy on me, Kinda creepy! trust me for once damnit. I have known about RA2 for YEARS and never joined, I used to pop back every now and again beacuse I used to watch BBEANS matches, there is no way for someone to tell me I have not. I never had a reason to join though.

Oh, and i lurked maybe 1 or 2 months. When i was downloading RA2 i was already reading Korium's Bot Building FAQ, and before joining i was reading the beetlebros tutorial.

I really hope you guys don't have the "Brightness" setting on your monitors set to max.  Turn it down a bit... play with the contrast setting too.

I never lurked... even on the old forum before this one.  If I was here, I was here.  I took a year-long sabbatical because life got really complicated and I didn't have much creative energy for RA2 or the community.  During that time off I never logged into the forum. Scrap Daddy dragged me back, which was really cool of him.

Look for a picture of a sun and an up arrow. Usally on the Function Key row. Find it hold down FN and press the key. If you still can't figure it out Try your parents.
Title: Re: Lurking
Post by: cephalopod on March 23, 2010, 06:26:15 PM
I have mine on the left and right arrows, in blue so you have to press 'FN'. A blue sun, and an outlined sun. (filled in means darker I assume)
Title: Re: Lurking
Post by: LiNcK on March 23, 2010, 07:33:43 PM
You can also go to Power Settings (If you have Vista/7) And adjust it there...
And seriously Sparkey, Calling ACAMS a jerk isnt gonna help you AT ALL

BTW: Hi ACAMS! Never ever talked to u xP
 
I also turned down the birhgtness in my screen, At first it was too low... But i got used to it now :P

i lurked for about 2 months before i even had the game, i was watching bbeans matches on youtube and found a link here. then i got RA2 and made account here.
Title: Re: Lurking
Post by: LiNcK on March 24, 2010, 09:14:35 AM
I got RA2 from my neighbour...
One day he bought alot of games from someone else & We installed them.
We found out that Stock had too much havoking & It was a bit fake so we looked for a Realistic patch, We found out about DSL.
We all installed it & After some months everyone stopped playing besides me, I looked up for a DSL update & Here i am ;D
