I found CPG when I was starting to get back into comics. After awhile, I found their message boards and lurked there occasionally for a few months. I finally decided to join the boards there, but when I went to activate my account something malfunctioned. At the time, things were going downhill there, so I just didn't bother with it. While I was lurking there, I clicked on a few links to threads here, and that was my first exposure to these boards. Unfortunately, those threads didn't exactly do a good job of enticing me to check out the rest of this place. I started lurking at STL, and after coming here through thread links a few more times, I started actually looking around. Then I finally joined both here and at STL. And now I spend too much damn time looking (and occasionally posting) at comics message boards.
