I remember lurking on here for years and then coming to the Batman forum and seeing this, real? fake? it got crazy:
I remember the uproar when this image was released:
I remember then registering on the site so I can participate in the discussions but still being a bit(ok lot) of a lurker.
I remember how it felt when after so long I finally clicked on the Viral Marketing forum and found out I missed out on cake and cell phones. *chokes up*
I remember then participating in the Dent stuff and promising myself to stay far, far away from this Spoilers forum
...I failed miserably on the latter.
On a sadder note- I remember I had just finished doing my excerises in my room and came out to the living room to have my dad tell me to watch the news. When I saw that Heath Ledger had passed away I remember thinking
No way. There was
no way. The first thing I did was come on here and to read everyone's messages, which confirmed it for me. I then remember thinking how strange it was- for me to feel so sad for a "celebrity's" death. It was a few weeks before his passing that I had started to do research on him, his movies and stuff, and respected him so much as a person and actor. I felt so bad for his little daughter.
On a happier note- I remember going to the latest Joker Scavenger hunt for the third trailer, having the thing broken up by rent-a-cops, but finally being able to see it and I remember lookeing around the theater hoping to capture the moment.
I will always remember how much fun I have had on these Batman forums, even as a lurker(although I wish I wasn't so much of one...).
It's been a wild, yet fun, ride.
