Pole for the lurkers

[Deleted User] · December 2014

Why don't you post?

bullybutt · December 2014

Lurkers who do post (like myself) are wallflowers and most of our contributions are looked over or ignored since we aren't regulars. We then go back into hiding. Plus for me, I never have a bone in arguments/battles so it's more fun to just lurk and watch the drama unfold.

vandelay · December 2014

I don't know whether I want "I'm scared" or "You bitches are crazy" to win. But one of those.

LightBright515 · December 2014

I'm easing my way in.

I like you all. Like me back?

The more you interact the easier it gets. You don't have to argue. There are lots of fun threads too.

So today I see TLex's "what can i crochet for my husband thread?" and first thought is "something to warm his weiner" and there are already a hundo posts saying that. I'm just not quick enough!

DawnLilly · December 2014

No SS? I did lurk for the drinking poll. Now that's depressing and I stick to my BMB most the time. I also sometimes show up for TWD. I actually did have a question I posted today. I was going to post it to Toddlers but that board looked slow.

Dammit, GP. It's too!!

SHUT YOUR FACE. I'LL FIX IT LATER.

msdrdg · December 2014

Mostly I can't keep up. I post a couple times a week, but I rarely have anything of consequence to say so I just lurk.
:-??

New option: I tried to post once but no one love titted me! So I ran back into hiding.

Remember the crazy one who intro'd at midnight, then went nuts when "22 people!!1!1" read her thread and didn't comment?

I can't fix it but whatever. :-*

bullybutt · December 2014

I love tit the shit out of comments and comment on smaller threads but it seems futile to try and "put myself out there" in the randoms or threads that spiral into 20+ pages. Plus I only bump at work, so it's hard to be caught up with everything that goes on.

Daometjing is the fucking worst.

I find that there is no need to actually catch up in a randoms thread because it's just a buncha nonsense and most likely what is being talked about at the beginning has been long forgotten by page 5.

I always just jump in with whatever has being talked about at that moment.

alrighthamilton · December 2014

I have just begun to post, but for me it's because the board moves too fast, and I only have a few days a week that I have the time to be on here enough to keep up. I usually won't post if I know I won't be able to get back on to further participate.

I don't like not getting to clicky, @guiltypleasures. Unfair pole! Discriminates against non-lurkers! [-(
(Kidding, you know ILY)

I'm racist against non lurkers and Scotland.

That is a super weird typo. I meant something. $:\$

You should have doubled down on this one. You had us on the hook. You could have schooled us for being so basic that we had never heard of daometjing.
In fact, I think it's your new screen name.

We don't even random anymore!

But we kind of do.

bunnyfungo said:

Yeah. Lurk moar!

Well, like the FFFC, UO, MBF always end up being random ramblings. I was just generalizing for brevity. I lurk the shit outta this board...except the Larry thread because I don't know WTF Larry is.

[Deleted User] · December 2014

I don't even belong here and I find plenty to talk about with all the people.

JUST DO IT.

I feel like I need to read the whole thread before I post, by the time I finish, everyone has moved on. When I try to be quick, I end up posting words like daometjing, then I scramble to edit the post and end up posting something worse. Plus I like to write novels because I want to be clear, and that get tiring, plus it's boring and no one wants to read a thread full of novels...I'll stop now.

You should post more I

'd your post back when I actually went to D13

Join us and find out.

Karadee1 · December 2014

I do try to post, but I can only mobile bump at work and it's a pain in the ass. I also lurk the Larry thread and it's a lot to keep up with. I try to pass out love when I read.

[Deleted User] · December 2014

For threads like randoms or UO/FFFCs I read the page that I'm on then jump in. If something good happened it'll be quoted or talked about and I can find it later if I care enough. Most of the time you don't have to read the whole thing to get what's going on.

Seriously though, I can't even keep up with a thread about lurkers.

I lurk and occasionally post on parenting. Usually just the Larry thread though, I need to learn how to read sarcasm before I start really joining in here.

I remember you posting in the drinking threads before. I like you. Post more.

the highest of high fives to you @daometjing

though, TBH, it'll be a PITA to figure out how to spell your new SN. I shall do my best.
I had to cut and paste it. I figured it would be the worst to misspell my own typo.

I hope you don't forget how to spell your name if you ever have to log in again.

I think we just throw in some parenting topics once in awhile just so nobody catches on that this board isn't really about parenting. You totally belong.

DawnLilly · December 2014

@daometjing if you forget it Google remembers.

Well thanks!

Some days are heavier parenting topics than others and I just post less. But overall, I like the people here, so I'm not leaving regardless.

bbwbb · December 2014

I've never posted and always lurked. I lurk to get to know what is going on in a board, then I just get scared that I will not come across right. So hi!

Edited: and apparently I didn't realize I still had a pregnancy ticker.

emeraldanchor · December 2014

I post a little in the Larry thread. I want to post more out here too, but then by the time I go to say something, it's already been said. I should probably get over it & just post.

DawnLilly · December 2014

@HilarityEnsued‌ well, I just made the perfect example of a lurker being slower than reg.

IForgotMyLogIn · December 2014

I'm only here for the booze.

Also, super busy during the day and y'all are damn distracting.

lilorangekitty · December 2014

I am a sporadic poster. I'll work on it. Maybe

ariel8200 · December 2014

Because apparently I don't lurk often enough and a thread will be on at least page 4 by the time I get to it. Honestly, who has time to read 4 pages....or 646 pages.

jamjoyful · December 2014

I comment on smaller threads but mostly lurk. I guess I don't feel quite like I have earned my place in random/drinking threads.

And my life isn't very interesting.

[Deleted User] · December 2014

These are all terrible excuses! Just jump in and post.

And honestly, I get into the long threads at like page 8 and IDGAF.

There is no place earning! Just post. I don't always have interesting things to say either.

I voted that y'all are crazy, but really I'm just lazy.

I'm a lurker from the TTGP and a I've commented on a few non-parenting threads mainly because I couldn't keep my opinion to myself like the Duggar thread. I voted saying I don't normally jump into threads (like the drinking threads) because I don't have any kids yet.

Edit: Spelling

I don't have kids either. Post!
