Me? I'm talking to you because you're interesting and seem to be viewing the same Lets Play.
My lurkage occurred only in "Let's Play: Vampire: Bloodlines" by DFM. I was just an unregistered user who was looking for a Lets Play quite like that one, anyway. Basically, I wanted to see if the game would entertain me enough to be worthy of debugging. Turns out, the copy I was sold was bad to begin with. Thanks to DFM, I don't mind trying to return the bad one and buying another copy since Steam refuses to work out here. This time, a never-been-opened copy should work, along with all the updates made to the game over time.
While I got what I meant to get, here, I found RaiRO and decided to just go ahead and register a forum account and... well... try the local RO shard. The people here are fun, and I think I might finally have a complete online community to go to again.
Another interesting factor that helped me decide to stay was the 8-BIT Theater, something fun to side track me and help me realize that my supervisor at work is about as dumb as Fighter, and I'm having to work around him like Black Mage.
So have you just recently registered but lurked before/under a different name [to the end that I might know you from somewhere else or the like], or have you just enjoyed taking a stroll through community history?
While I can easily see the point in which most members would become jealous, you've spent years building this reputation for painting the forums red. This information may seem useless to some, but it is as I said. I appreciate all the toppings a sandwich can contain. A combination of flavors is what makes a truly gourmet snack of information.
A while back, Krylo, then still a mod/admin, gave me my own user group with the red coloring of the username [much like banned members but without me being banned] since I had been posting in red text for quite a while. Another forum member did, as well, arguably before I had started coloring my posts, but she hasn't posted here in a long time (years) to my knowledge.
After I became a moderator, Fifth had been giving a few folks shiney names. I thought it was amusing (I had made some comments about the glitter tag to the other moderators before when it was implemented and joked that I would use it as my "mod color"; since I post in red, I chose to make plain white my mod color), so it's stuck since. I am at the admins' mercy with respect to whether or not it will remain, but so far it's been permanent.
