	First joined December 2003 was asking for a look up really came across rolling chat and was chatting when an obnoxious person on rolling chat sent me a PM told me to go away and it wasn't polite. I answered her politely but she told me I wasn't allowed on the chat and to go F*** myself and get off the chat. After that I stuck around just to annoy her/him and thought well if that's what GC is all about I didn't want to know so deleted mt account and joined again 2004.

	Been a member for over 10 years but have only been posting for about two years. I don't know why it took me so long.

	on the boards? On the back of the thread from 2004 just re-appeared by somebody who has been a member since then but only just posted ??? or only 1 post. How long did it take you from registering to jumping in on the boards. ? I first dipped my toe in chat when it was rolling chat and stayed there until they removed it (almost) :-0 :-0
