Re: who are all of our lurkers?

  • I think a lot more people are reading on their phones now, and it's a PITA to answer posts, at least to me, on my "kinda dumb" phone.  ESP on weekends, we're out and about, and not near my computer.

    man, today was a SLOW today here, though. lol.

  • I guess I'm a lurker on this board, I used to post a lot when I got pregnant with Olivia, now I mostly read to keep up with the girls on here. I guess I should post more.  We are TTC #2.

  • I read a lot more from my phone and like DW said it's a PITA to post.  So I guess I mostly lurk.

    It was super slow this weekend!

  • I lurk more than I post for sure...mostly because I can multi-task to skim the posts...but replying takes two hands which I don't always have!

  • I check in every night but am usually way too late to post anything of value.  I do check on my phone a lot which makes it harder to reply.  I wish I could contribute more, and I frankly have no idea why I'm so shy on the message boards!

  • I'm a lurker! I hope to start posting here in a few weeks after LO arrives. I'm trying to familiarize myself with the posters on this board.

  • Me! I lurk... I guess because I never really introduced myself after DS arrived and now he Is four months and an intro seems silly? I don't know... I posted on IF and it was so helpfulThen a bit on PAIF too. I lurked here then as well. Everyone here seems so nice. Sometimes I Really wan to get involved but I suppose like PP said ... I get shy on boards?Anyway.... Hi from lurkdom

  • I feel like the janitor.  I am usually on after 10:00 or so, when everyone is gone. I don't reply much because I am so late to the party. I am on almost every night, and though I am friendly still with a lot of the girls I met on IF, I have gotten to know a lot of you on SAIF from reading your posts.  So HI from the janitor!

    Years of trying and treatment, IVF#1 brought us our darling C!
  • I mostly lurk! My iPad is a PITA to post from. Two days of bed rest have made the boards feel way slower than usual....

  • I wander in and lurk sometimes when my other boards are feeling slow (often happens since I tend to be online late at night) but I'm still getting settled in PAIF, not much to add over here :)

    I also think the read value does not correlate to the actual number of reads - I've had times where after I read something the count goes up by >5.

    Also, I don't get the point of the view count, and I especially don't understand getting bent out of shape over it, which I sometimes see.

  • I lurk all the time on my phone too. I don't usually get on my laptop until the girls are asleep but since our internet keeps going out every 2 minutes, I haven't really been on it.

    This exactly! I am always on my phone and having to turn javascript on and off all the time is a huge PITA. I have been trying to post more often though..
  • I lurk more than post.  I am still feeling a bit overwhelmed by my DD...newborn stage is hard!  Every time I seem to have a second to read a post...M starts to fuss.  I swear she has ESP...she just seems to know!  (She also knows exactly when I am ready to eat...cue the fussies!)

    I keep hoping that I will get more time to bump soon!

    This, I lurk some now that I have had my LO but I don't have much time to post, plus I am just getting to know this board so I am not super active yet.

    Another guilty lurker here. I moved over here from PAIF, but haven't posted much because this little girl is keeping me BUUUUUUUUSY.

    I usually lurk, but reply to posts when I have an answer.  I am definitely not the most active, that is for sure!
