But seriously, how long did it take you? and why so long?

Hey Mike, for you it should read, "Love at first site" (ouch).
Yeah, 3 years for me. However, a lot of that time I was shopping and investigating all of the different tiny camper designs, so this forum blended in with many other websites. In the early years this place was more a builders forum and I was 90% sure that I was not going to build but rather buy. So I didn't even think to sign up.
In fairness, our forum has really evolved over the years and now touches every facet of the teardrop and TTT lifestyle, so it's much more user friendly. Now it's common get members that don't have teardrops and are just in the investigation phase but are asking questions, learning, and even going to the nearest gathering and tenting it. We've come a long way in the diverse subjects and information being offered. Nothing is too small. Hell, just yesterday I went and bought a milk crate from the Container Store to sit on while showering in my Porta Privy. I think that little ditty came from Arne.
So anyhow, I'm glad I sent you an email about the Death Valley gathering and how I can sign up, and it was very cool that you buzzed me on the phone and "encouraged" me to become a member. Lurking is one thing, but live interactions are much better.
