I lurked for a day or two.  I started out on FS/FT because I was told it was a great place to pick up used Hardware (and it is.)
Then I moved into Cases and cooling, and I dropped into OT once a week or so and read a few posts here and there.  
Then about 2 months ago I had a really boring class and I played in OT for the entire 2 hours... I got hooked.. and I've had loads of fun with it
