Took me till Nov. 18 to join the forum, and a bit longer to feel comfortable enough to engage.
I may have gone 2 days without visiting the forum since.

Sept 29 for me. I can’t believe it’s been a year. I can’t wait to see it in person next weekend!

I am really glad that we have the forum. I have learned so much and have been inspired by so many here over the past year. I joined the forum right away but have just been mainly reading things in the background. I hope to be more active from here on out. Can’t wait for my Glowforge!

October 11 before I found the forums. I don’t know if I’ll celebrate or pout that day.

Wish I could join you guys with one year but I had some trepidation as well as some massive vet bills to get out from under (turns out nero/spinal surgery for a rabbit is not that inexpensive) so I was not able to have the cash until April
But grats to all you that did get in super early

Oct 2 is our anniversary (for both the order and forum membership) too! We found out about it on 9/24, but chose to wait a bit to see if our desire to have it stayed strong. Clearly, we still want it!

I’m an October 2 baby as well. I try not to make a habit of throwing a couple thousand dollars around without thinking about it for a few days.

Hit my ordering anniversary today. Anytime I do any long activity I always break things into percentages and once I pass halfway I’m convinced I can finish anything. At this point, it’s about 80% of the wait done (assuming December shipping), so nearly the home stretch.

Wow – one year! I had been trying to figure out a use case that would justify purchasing a small Epilog, when I saw the buzz stirred up by the crowdfunding announcement.
We had just finished remodeling our basement and was moving furniture back in. When we broke for lunch, I showed my wife the video. Her next five words were “We have to buy one!” So we did. 
Found the forums pretty quickly, but didn’t contribute until 10/10.

Meh…I’m a very patient man.
Spend a full 7 - 10 days a year, from sun up till sun down, sitting up in a tree, or on the ground, perfectly still, in 25 - 35 degree Fahrenheit weather, through wind, rain, sleet, snow, and sometimes blinding sunlight, climbing up and down a mountain in the dark each day to get there, waiting for a deer to come by, and it will teach you patience.
Do it every year for 30 years, and you will be able to teach patience to others.

I do the same and enjoy more than just about anything else, but put me in a grocery store line and in 5 minutes I’m ready to pull my hair out.

No change yet.
Thanks
That is almost my exact story minus the home remodeling. When I knew my wife was on board it was a no brainer!
Just got my anniversary badge!
