Still feel so new though, even though I've been here since, like, August.
I assume I can't say that after nearly one year... but it's like it was yesterday that I took one hour to write a first message in a foreign language :D

I started reading on March 25th 2013 :P I know this because it was at the point when Hannu had flung the piece of charcoal into the fire and *things* were happening and all I needed to do was to find the page :3 I read the whole of ARTD in two days and then very nearly failed the assignment I was supposed to be doing for uni because I just couldn't stop  ::)

Didn't join the forum immediately, but I stalked the art museum like hell from day 1! Eventually joining after some discus encouraging ;D

Hahah, I felt like a newbie for the longest time, but now I've seen people come and go, and threads become created and fade away, drawn gazillions of fan arts through all of it, and it looks like I'm still here. Guess there's not much reason to feel newbie-ish anymore......although to be honest, I don't know if the feeling will ever go away

it's been made fun of several times, but I suppose it's a classic - in my introduction post I said that "I don't think I'll be very active". and from there I went straight upwards to the #1 spot on the "most posts" list. I have to admit I'm not as active anymore recently, but life started happening a lot so.... There's that.
you'll know where to find me.

I regret to inform you that you were actually #2 for a little while there, until you made this post ::)


I joined a year ago in November and went to the top 10 very quickly - but that was of course back when 500 posts was considered a lot. Keeping up has been hard, haha. At one point too, I was #1 for most time online :P

WHAT!!! WHO USURPED MY THRONE oh hi there viola

...i have to admit I no longer feel like a newbie though. I still felt like a newbie in august, but 200 fanarts and two-three forum dramas later I felt like a battle-hardened veteran.

I... um. I thought my forum time would go down notably after I got a job in October. I have no excuses.

My downfall is that I'm actually allowed to spend time online at work if all the work is done and no customers are in the shop. People coming in can't see what's on the screen so it just looks like I'm doing something instead of idling behind the counter...

I was back and then disappeared for three days, because yes. ::)

Thank you all for your messages! Like I said, I really missed all of you, and it's good to be back!

Happy aniverSSSSary, Haiz!!
I really liked your SSSSpam on my dashboard, it brought back so many good memories!

Hmm... I joined the forum on April 15th last year, so two more months and I'll be a one year old member! Yay! \o\
I actually started reading aRTD on March 4th in 2013 (I know that because I wrote on my journal how I was neglecting my studies over an awesome webcomic that I couldn't stop reading), and I lurked the comment section for a looooong time.

*high fives fellow lurker veteran Gwenno* ;D

My first interaction with the fandom was on the SSSS comment section, and later I gathered enough courage to create my forum account.

I had spotty attention when aRtD was going and missed the beginning of SSSS, so I consumed it in about 2 days, right around when Lalli was entering the tunnel in the dream world (late October 2014 I think?). I feel like I was without anyone to scream to for a month, but I think that was just in real life because I joined here November 6, 2014. I love this crazy and wonderful fandom.

This is something I'll never quite understand, the need to mentally prepare oneself to join a forum as if it were an appointment to the dentist. But eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh good on you sister, we're glad to have you. You like SSSS and Star Wars so that automatically earns you a certified cool rating in my book.

But it's true. You weren't very active.

You were extremely active.
