    I just don't like getting a bunch of e-mails and stuff from places I will potentially never use or see again. It also makes it easier to keep track of where I have registered.

    Much like xDarkMaster. I was lurking here a while before I registered, and something made me post so I joined.

    Ditto. Otherwise, there isn't really much incentive for me to register.

    Same as the above. Either wanting to make my voice heard, or simply to access a page/download only available to members.

    For gotwoot, I lurked here for quite a few months too before posting. If I can remember correctly my first few posts went to the Gundam Seed thread.

    I do that for all sites, except GW. I don't remember why I joined GW...

    Like everyone else, I usually lurk around and get the information I need from forums without registering. I only register after being overcome with an incredible urge to post (like how one eps of Naruto brought me here, and some heated flame thread made me register at another forum). On occasion I've registered when I needed to raise a concern in a forum that wasn't asked yet, but it's usually because I need to post really bad for some reason.
