Wow, really close between those two options on the last poll. xD
As for the new ones, it's 3-4 years for me. When I actually started to explore the internet beyond chatrooms and browser games. xD

I've been reading scanlations for a long time but, I only started reading them in large amounts in late 2007. So i voted for when i started reading them the most.

I was reading manga scans back before 2000 in the small quantities that were available at the time, and began working in the community right when the flood began at the end of 2000 (coincidence? Maybe... or maybe NOT @_@).

Only started around 2004-2005 too, I was looking for Hana Kimi scans and that's how it all got started lol.

I have well documented proof (aka HDD files with created/modified dates) that states that I have been reading Scanlations since mid-2005. But the images inside the rars/zips of those chapters have been modified by the last time around year 2000... @_@
Should I say I've been reading from 2005 or from 2000? ^_^'';;;; ...
(This PC where I'm typing was my 1st PC with Internet of my own (not my parents) and I built It around Easter 2005 & is still my main PC tower/not laptop) I have 19.1 GB of "Normal" Manga (collected through University) & around 33 GB (some R already archived on DVDs) of Hentai Mangas?!?!... WTH!!!. Even I didn't know that untill now... O_O';; (Not Bad 4 a University Student to collect through his 5 years of University... ;P )
Either way, I'm reading too much things @ the same time & following too much scanlators 4 my own good...
