How did you become a regular forum member?

I started the game a short while ago, and came jumping in very late into the Whacking Days. I had nowhere else to turn for help, but here, if I would have any hope of completing the prizeladder. There really should have been an option of either "During Whacking Days" or "During an event"/"Seeking help during an event" on this poll. I guess that would catch alot of potential "other" voters.

Might be I'm not considered a regular forum member just yet either...
