Rising from the shadows of lurksville

Hey all, how you guys doing? I've been frequenting this site for many, many years now as a hardcore lurker. Decided it was time to take the plunge and create my own ATS account so i can get stuck into the banter.

This site is great for the type of things i'm into. I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan so more often than not i'll be hanging around the threads of that genre.

So a bit about me, as i've stated i'm a huge Sci-Fi fan, into shows like Fringe, Stargate, Star Trek etc. I love a good conspiracy theory, i've spent many hours scrolling (lurking) through threads of the like. There is some fascinating content and there are truly some gifted members on here and also a few from the other end of the spectrum but hey, we're not all perfect right.

Anyway, thanks for reading this and i look forward to conversing with you all.

Welcome! I just joined as well.

I was a lurker myself for about a year.
