This is my second profile—i rejoined on Jan. 1, 2020, and about a month later, I was verified. With my first profile, however, I never verified. I was probably a member for 5-6 years, but only posted for about 22 months. In the first year of posting, I probably posted only 8-10 pics, but I was a very active poster for the last 10 months. Why didn’t I ever verify? Here’s what I wrote on page 1 of this thread: “I’m a little bit artistic and so wanted to have a verification photo sign that was more than a post it note or something like that...so I didn’t put one up when I started posting because I didn’t have an idea of how to do one I’d like. One day became 2, 2 became 4, etc. (I’ve been a member for about 5 years but didn’t have the balls to post any pics until a few months ago. So I’m only a few months behind...)” But there’s a second reason: I knew I’d really enjoy the viewing privileges that would come from being able to see all the pics and vids—and I was concerned that I’d end up spending way too much time here.
