I checked other. I am not overly active over here, but most of you know me from the regular Austin board. I am just in the pre TTC stage, you know, absorbing as much as possible. Smile

rssnlvr · February 2009

yes!! Clicky poll AND the freedom to refresh as much as I want. Ahhhhhhhh.........

Mrs.Sesa · February 2009

I post here when I think I can add something or have a question. It's kinda of the same with the Austin board.

kak9/05 · February 2009

I checked other - I just started posting, so not a lurker but not active yet.

AustinMimi · February 2009

Um, can you add an entry for "I am an active poster who is not TTC, pg, or ?a mom (AKA active POSER)"? kthxbye.

we do not accept/ decline "active" status based on the current occupation of your uterus. we are an equal opportunity board.

joyco · February 2009

I can't decide if I'm an "active" poster or what. I don't post too much lately since lying down does not = proper computer usage, but I do what I can in the hour or so I AM online.

I'll stick with active. I've been here ages, everyone seems to know me...

Faon · February 2009

I would post if I had some questions or were pregnant, but since we're not TTC yet (unfortunately), I am mostly just here to learn or provide support.

nanann · February 2009

what's funny is I consider myself a pretty darn active poster. Although I definitely check out more posts than I reply to (as is the case with *everyone* I'm sure).

And then I'll happen to check my post numbers compared to other newer Nesties, and I'm really not that active at all!

FeistyFille · February 2009

Much more scientifically sound. Stick out tongue

*ETA - Although as of now, there are only 44 votes. Maybe the lurky-lurks-a-lots aren't answering?

austxgrl · February 2009

I used to be an active poster but have recently gone to more of the lurker status.

I know. I am the same way. I guess you all can't actually read my mind even though I sometimes think you can.
Ask DH. I think he should be able to read my mind all the time! Embarrassed

PrincessBrideSarah · February 2009

I post occasionally and live in the Austin area.

ruthyk · February 2009

Lurker who lives in Austin. But as of today, I'm attempting to change that!

No kids, not yet TTC...sometime in the near future though.

Abrooks · February 2009

I posted Other. I don't feel like I am super active but try to reply at least once or twice a day.

ACR · February 2009

I post more in my head than I do on the actual board. Once my head posts it to myself, I lose motivation to post to the masses. Stick out tongue

So, I'd classify myself as a lurker & I don't live in Austin...though I'm kind of close.

amy&dane · February 2009

I live in Houston, but got married last year in Austin. I spent most of my time on the Austin Knot and so many names here are familiar. I have never posted much on the Houston board, so here feels more normal.

On a side note, my DH and I just recently started TTC #1 (like 3 weeks ago) and I already have questions, but need to get up the courage to just blurt them out.

HA - HA - Can't breath - HA HA!

A&R2006 · February 2009

I checked 'Other.' I try to post when I think I can add something to a conversation, or when I need more input from other moms than I can get from IRL friends.

I live in San Antonio, but was married in Austin and got familar with a lot of the names when I was on the Austin Knot board during wedding plan. The SA boards aren't as active, so I find myself lurking (or, trying to de-lurk) on the Austin boards.

Maybe we should inform them that their answers are anonomous?

SaraLouiseBride08 · February 2009

Nanann, Buttercup, Abrooks, and ACR: Wow .... I'd definitely put y'all in the "Active" catagory. I was suprised at how few posts you have, because you all have a definite presence here. Maybe that's because you have quality posts over quantity posts Smile

lol i had the same thoughts. Smile

AustinBride06 · February 2009

We're pre-TTC too, and don't live in Austin! I haven't really felt a connection to the DFW boards yet so that's why I haven't fully migrated over there.

Oh good, I won't be discriminated against based on the current occupation of my uterus. I was really worried about that. It does happen in real life you know...

Yeah - you don't get to park in the good spaces at CVS unless you have, or recently had, a "working" uterus.

(clarification: by "working" I meant "in the process of growing a baby", not "working" as in the opposite of broken Wink )

NoVA-grl · February 2009

I guess I'm an "Other". I mostly read the posts and contribute when I can (but most of the time someone has already said what I was going to say). Although I would like to consider myselft an 'active GTG'er' Big Smile

AustinMimi · February 2009

Okay, you guys who think you are lurkers are totally not by my book. If I recognize you or your kid, you are not a lurker.

Ummm, who are you again? Just kidding! You are definitely an active poster!

nanann · February 2009

Oh, I definitely posted as active! post counts are just interesting. I know some are unnaturally inflated when people were trying to hit bronze or silver or whatever, but I'm always surprised I don't have a higher number.

And abrooks -- anyone that posts once a twice a day is definitely active! Now just once a month I'd consider more of a lurker.

I know my post count is high because I'm active on other, non-local boards. I think that's probably the case with some of the posters with higher counts/less activity here.

kiarox2002 · February 2009

I answered lurker although I do occasionally post. I don't always feel like I have a lot to add to the conversation, but I post when I think I have something to say that hasn't already been said.

AustinMimi · February 2009

Ok, it looks like this will be a new hot topic, so I am going to go ahead and DD one of my posts in this thread.?

amycory2008 · February 2009

I voted other. ?I would consider myself an occasional poster, and I definitely read more than I post. ?One reason being I often check the board from my ipod, which I cannot for the life of me figure out how to respond to posts on. ?The other reason is mainly because I tend to be a bit shy. ?But I love the board and love learning from everyone, and hope to be more active as baby arrives and I have more questions.

JessHeath · February 2009

well I said I was an active poster, but like pp said, compared to others I am not as active.

CrazyNLove · February 2009

I marked "active" but that got me thinking - if some of you think you aren't active - then I have no business considering myself active!! I don't post that much - but I stalk the nest all day long. :-) I answer posts in my head and I really need to be better about taking the time to respond.
