Wow... 20 years is a long time... I do hope LJ will live on for a long time... :) I am definitely not going anywhere... =D

I definitely know I came here via a Queer as folk discussion forum when everyone from there joined LJ. Must have been around 2006 or something like that =D

Aww yeah I remember posting on message boards for tv shows and everyone would have links to their LJ’s so that we could find one another, LJ was such a big thing at one point that it seemed like most people online had one

I joined LJ early in 2003 (when invite codes were still going on). I mostly joined out of curiosity, but also due to the fandom communities which I had lurked briefly before officially joining the site. BTVS and HP were the biggest fandoms at that time, with BTVS having just ended. LJ was the first online community I ever joined.

I was definitely lurking a lot at the beginning, I was really into Smallville fandom at that time and mostly just lurking to keep track of the fan fic. I think that I got involved with Buffy LJ fandom shortly afterwards, I remember on Buffy fanboards we would have a thread so that we could all provide a link to our LJ’s and find one another. Crazy times!

I joined in 2006, also via TWOP! I do miss when it was livelier but have no plans to ever "pick up stakes."

I just remember spending so long in the fan fic thread following the numerous Clex links, and they all seemed to be written on LJ back then

I, honestly, don't really remember why I came to LJ. I think it was either searching for something on Google, like a fandom site or something, and that lead me here or it was mentioned on another board I was at.

It was such a big site at one point that it seemed like everyone was finding their way here
