I signed up for BP a year ago, and was thinking about what it was like back then.  New topics could sit in the new topics bar for a few days instead of a few hours.  I got onto the top 20 posters list with 190 posts.  TheOrcKing only had about 500 posts and stephen_rockefeller had 700! 

 

Feel free to talk about the growth of BP over the last year here!

Hi, my name is Anakin and I'm a brickaholic. I have been a brickaholic for many years now. I have tried and tried to stop visiting this site but keep getting pulled back in. I always tell myself, just one more brick. This will be my last brick. But then I brick again. Then I am back on a posting binge. It's a vicious circle I just cant break. I need help.

Welcome back D!

You gotta change that newbie avatar man!

I will never surrender my propeller beanie. Never.

That every new member has. :blum:

You wear it well, sir!

I mentioned that I joined in late 2012, but I didn't even read the forums until this past November, when I started participating.  How I wish I knew what I was missing!  I was only depending upon Slickdeals to tell me when things were on sale.  Geez...

Haha.  It's a shame our modly powers don't extend to changing avatars, otherwise Orc and I could have some fun 

Whats funny is when I joined the site, I just barely looked, joined, then left for like 4 months. DIdn't know what I was missing.

Almost same for me - I found the site in late November 2012 after I sold a Destiny's Bounty, bookmarked the site to come back and finally made it late May. My procrastination cost me opportunity of a bunch of Harry Potter sets (including many 4842s), Dino's, and Pirate Ships! (Not to mention May the 4th sale).

I try not to be bummed, so I guess another way to look at it is I "saved" 1000s of $$$ that I would have spent!

Anyways - great site, great hobby, and many thanks to all the mods and frequent posters! The "daily deals" thread was a special stroke of genius for sure!

I joined about 15 minutes after finding the site, and started to really posts few weeks later.
