(salam) So a member linked me this thread and reading through it I felt that I should add my contribution. I first came across ShiaChat in 2003 when I first started at University. After spending a year or so reading through the different sections of the forum I decided to sign up in 2004. Since then I had been a regular poster until 2011.
