I don't get lurking

GabbyG · November 2009

Not people from other boards, but these people who never post here and when they do, seem to *know* everybody. Skeeves me out.

I'm not a super avid poster. But when I'm on, I post.

It's also weird the topics that compel people to finally think - OK now I'll post!

I'm glad the incident turned out OK last night in the end.

Just pondering message board dynamics...

And , I didn't sleep at all last night, either. We're going to Portland for Thanksgiving weekend (leaving in a few) and I just know I am going to feel heartbroken the whole weekend. Poor Christopher. Poor Ketamarie. Crying

I am guily of lurking and not posting. And I know lots of the girls on here because I posted lots when we were all on the tri boards together. I just lurk a lot at work, but eitehr don't have anything to add or don't have time to reply.

I'm trying to post more and lurk less

I can't get on from work, so the only time I am on is after DD goes to bed for the night or during the weekends, so usually I read stuff that happened during the day and post if there are active posts I feel I can particpate in.

See I feel like I lurk more than post, but its not like people don't know me. Well I am pretty sure they only know me by my daughter Lucy, and not because its me;...but still, they know me

I sometimes lurk and don't post. I can only get on occasionally at work and I can't post there, and after I get DS down at night, I am usually hanging out with DH. I actually read/bump a lot at night when I can't sleep, so I feel like I know what's going on, but by then, not many people are actively posting. I'm trying to be more active on here lately.

Sort of the same thing. It's hard for me to get on during the day ... so by the time I read up on posts, there doesn't seem to be any point in posting. No one will read it because the last response was 12 hours ago or so.

Plus I often don't have much that is constructive to say.

I meant the people who post with like 10 posts to their name total yet know everything.

I lurk on my IPhone too b/c I can't post from there for some reason.

lite-bright · November 2009

Eh. I lurk more than I post -- it takes awhile to catch up on reading posts before I decide which, if any, I'm going to respond to.

Plus, I don't tend to post unless I feel like I've got something to contribute that hasn't already been said.

There is a way to get around the iphone thing. I don't know how to do it, but I know I have seen posts on how to do it. For sure Amanda on the DFW board knows how to do it.

me too!

I spend so long catching up or just reading posts I can relate to or gain advice from that I'm too late to reply.

To post from your iPhone you need to go into settings, then safari and then turn java off.

crazytmogirl · November 2009

I've lurked a lot more than I've posted. I try to post but sometimes I feel intimidated or that anything I add to the conversation will either be 1) attacked or 2) ignored. LOL. I'm trying to post more often.

nbptbride · November 2009

I don't have time to sit at my laptop, since DS is such a handful these days. So I mostly lurk on my iPhone, which is a PITA to post from.

mary5198 · November 2009

I don't get to post as much as I used to, but then again, I don't even get to lurk as much as I used to

Mrs.Goldenblatt · November 2009

I lurk alot because I'm mostly on after DS goes to bed and read through older posts that aren't really active anymore. Sometimes someone's already said what I want to respond to a post with so I don't bother. I don't lurk be creepy stalkerish I just find that I don't have much to post sometimes or nothing interesting to say. Also, I just starting coming on more often so my posts will probably start to increase a bit.
