I used to lurk a lot around here but it wasn't until last Christmas when I had something to show everyone that I actually joined. I think I lurked for just over half a year? It was actually BC and the works of DJ and a few others that got me into modeling to begin with.  :lol:

'Twas Daves Stargate Pack that got me in. My first several posts were in his thread at FF and I, along with many others, followed him to BCS after the whole GJO era. First thing I ever modelled was the Priors chair on the Ori bridge.

Can't remember the last time I lurked. If I'm around, people normally know about it! :lol:

I've been lurking since 2004 till late 2005/ early 2006 I think... mainly because my english was so poor that I couldn't even write single sentence :lol: now I got back to lurking and hit & run modding tactic :D

Mostly lurking since coming here with problems (and finding solutions) concerning KM and Galaxy Charts. My programming skills are old and graphic skills are even older. I follow both sections (and skim through most of the others) but shy away from commenting on things that're beyond my own abilities.

I'd say I'm a lurker as well. I just watch out for news which are of interest to me (eg Scripting Section / WIPs) and comment on only a few things like DQP. And atm it seems like I've too much time left so I'm posting (and resurrecting this thread) here  :lol:

Hi everyone.

I'm something of a lurker here myself too. I'm a huge fan of all the awesome mods that people have made for all the Star Trek games out there, they've certainly improved my enjoyment of those games. So I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the whole modding community for all these years of excellence. I wish I had your talents, but I don't so all I can do is admire yours. LOL!

My favourite BC mods are of course the Bridge Plug-In and the bridges made for it. I used to have loads of problems with all the mods I had installed. But when I discovered KM 1.0 a few months ago, that not only sorted them all it made the game a lot better looking too! So, many thanks there! I think big mods like that are probably better as all the parts usually work together better. It's the same with the Ultimate Universe Mod for ST Legacy (another awesome game and mod I play regularly!).

Finally, I want to say like so many of you I too was shocked and saddened at the recent news of Filefront packing-up. I regularly visit BCFiles, LegacyFiles and EliteForceFiles every day and have always enjoyed seeing new awesome mods released.

I was a lurker, for about a minute....I came to this site, saw something that caught my attention and signed up with the intention of voicing my opinion then just couldn't help but come on, check the threads and posts, comment and make my own threads.

signed up February 12, 2009

it's become somewhat of an addiction to come here.

"hi, my name's LordReserei and I'm a bc-cenralaholic" lol

Lol, I find it hard to believe that people can visit a forum every day for years and never post. Just seems... strange.

Even I that doesn't post a lot anymore, still posts a couple of times a week.

Hai there, i kinda ish lurk here, i comment when i see something which really nabs my attention (As a fan of the ST:VOY series you probably will see me most in the DQP topic =P)

I have released... One mod for BC, the Tardis retexture, simply because i preferred the newer version to the old one...

I would be happy to texture a Tardis for somebody if they built a better model =).

Myself, I usually wind up joining the forums after a while. I lurk for forever, or until I'm comfortable that the community in question is accepting and "cool enough", then join when I'm comfortable with the idea. I hate joining places and finding out it's full of jerks.

  • I'm actually making stuff! :D
I am almost exclusively a lurker now.   :P
I check on mod progress all the time, but I refrain from posting.  I'm trying to break my addiction to computers, so that's why you haven't seen me very often.
