An old is it normal user…

Two days ago someone posted about checking their old account that was from nearly 9 years ago and it surprised me (in a good way). My account is over a decade old and my last comment is from 9 years ago. Back then I used to be a regular, commented on everything I could provide insight on, and made great friends on this site. I don’t comment anymore and I don’t post anything but I do come here every other day to read stories. I wonder if there are more like me— old users who don’t comment anymore but lurk or pass by to read the site every once in a while.

How long have you been on this site? Have you been here for years? Are you a lurker like me? :)

I remember when the site didn’t have the ‘is it normal Gold’, there was no private messaging feature of any kind and you could put a picture on your profile.

    I've been here since I was like 16 and I'm now 24. My first post was asking if it was weird that I wanted a Japanese boyfriend. lol

    By any chance, you wouldn't happen to be cruising the south seas in your sailboat with your wife who is like 39 years your junior, would you?

    Since 2012. Of course, I like to be impulsively rude and crude. But, I keep coming back to follow high IQ users like Boojum. In a world of fucktards, people like him have a surprisingly good influence on me.

    I’ve been here for 6 or 7 years, since I was around 13, although on a variety of accounts, which I used to pretend I was a coke addict and post endless troll posts

    I made my first account in 2011 but would mostly ask my questions, get my answers then log off. I forgot the login for that one so made SkullsNBones in 2012 which was mysteriously deleted and I’ve been SkullsNRoses ever since.

    I remember the profile pictures too, I miss seeing people’s mugs, even though we still get the occasional brave soul doing a face reveal.

    I suspect there are a few old members looking over us like ghosts from the past, I hereby dedicate this song to them:

    I've only been on IIN for a year, I wouldn't say that I'm that much of a lurker.

    Omg..I’m called out. I check whenever I happen to think about it..couple weeks or months, pop in the chat to find it empty, browse posts and that’s about it. I think I created my account 2008-ish.
    I forgot all about gold ha! Great times :)

    I had an account from somewhere around 2007 or so, I can't recall exactly. I deleted it but rejoined a few years ago.

    Been here for a good 10 years. I wasn't as active then, nor as blunt with my answers.

    Cheers, to our weird little community!

    I’ve been here on and off since 09, my accounts always get deactivated after a few months with no reason given, which is fine cause I usually get tired of them by that time anyway
