Jumped right in. Saw the intro forum and did a post right quick like.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Maybe 5 minutes? I did a search for atheist forums, did a quick comparison between a few of the top results, and decided that the people here were better.

Just did a quick google search for people I can relate to and went to the first recommended site...

Like many others, googled "atheist forum", this was the first hit. Joined, posted my intro, and then became mod.

I'm insanely curious about the first signs of activity this site ever saw. I too found this site by searching google for atheist forums. I checked out a few forums, including this one, but then bailed and only decided on this one and joined after a few months. I started posting instantly. I had a few hundred posts after only a couple of days, if I remember correctly, so I guess I liked the site well enough. I toned it down a little after I hit a thousand. A big chunk of those are Mafia related though. I'm still trying to fit in, oddly enough. Or maybe I just hope to change the environment, lest it be the other way around.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped. Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses. Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
