Lurkers.........

do you think we have them? and why do you think they lurk? I have never done that..I just jump right in...but then I DO tend to be a tad chatty.

Who are you calling a Lurker????
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??

I'd bet all boards have lurkers. They're probably shy, or dont' have the time to be truly active, or just want some inspiration and info without getting all mixed up with a bunch of crazies

I'm no good at lurking either, too opinionated!!
C'mon lurkers, say hi!!!

Whatever.

I think people are afraid to jump in because they might think that ACOT is a tightly formed clique and they would be intruding and not welcomed. But that is not the case. I myself lurked and it took a couple of members of the creative team that noticed me and sent me PM's during a crop to get me out here. Thank you for doing that. The ladies on this forum are very friendly and don't bite, very helpful and funny to boot!

I just thought you were busy...

DaisyLou--who you callin' crazy?? bwahahaha

I lurk during lunch periods at work - just enough time to browse the gallery & catch up on gossip, not enough time for much more. Usually I end up leaving 1-2 random comments or gallery praise.

This morning I thought to myself:

"Self- you've got some time, go play on ACOT for awhile."

So I did.

TWO hours later, I am still here. It sucked me in..... part of the problem is it takes me 4 minutes or better to post a reply, but I don't want to talk about that. I better go give Kari's horse his hay & exercise him..... shhhhhhh, don't tell her he's not fed yet this morning coz I'll blame all of you!!!!

Sus- yes, I am busy, but I do admit to popping in & not posting on ocassion because it takes soooooo friggin long. Drives me batty. Like right now, I am sitting here twitching.

We probably do have lurkers, I wish they'd jump right in though.

I am more of a jump right in kinda gal. I felt very comfortable at ACOT right away. At other boards I have found it takes a while and sometimes it never happens.

I *luv* my ACOT friends.

I was a lurker for @ 4 months. I wanted to jump in but I didn't scrap then, so I felt weird.

I HOPE we have lurkers! Feels voyueristic at the thought of someone spying on our threads and comments! Must be the exhibitionist in me that likes it... :P I'd say... Keep Lurking! And when you're ready... jump into the cherry tree! We'll love ya too!

I'm sure we have some this time of year looking at the CHA previews.

Flapdoodle · Sat Jul 12, 2008 12:46 pm

OoooOOoooo....I never thought about the voyeuristic aspect.

That's kinda sexy.

Art_Teacher · Sat Jul 12, 2008 12:59 pm

Ummmm....we must have some because there are 1373 pages of screennames and you don't need one to order!

evilqueen · Sat Jul 12, 2008 1:00 pm

I would be a lurker too, until I could decide if I wanted to get involved with this crazy place or not.

MaBuglet · Sat Jul 12, 2008 1:12 pm

pahaha You like to talk? Get outta town!!

I'm not much of a lurker either, but I have joined in on some boards and not felt accepted right away and I just never went back. You never know unless you try

averys_mom · Sat Jul 12, 2008 4:02 pm

Okay, I'll 'fess up! I'm lurker-ish. I don't post very often. I joined the MB back during the March online crop and posted quite a bit then. I post on another scrappy MB as well, so sometimes it's hard to keep up with more than one! And I do have a hard time just jumping in with a bunch of people who are already friends. I don't like to push myself on people. But since my girl Day is here, and posting so much, I will try to post more often, because I know she'll have my back! I bought her goodies, so she'd better, LOL!

MaBuglet · Sat Jul 12, 2008 4:16 pm

We're glad to see you posting Mandi! Awesome!

cynderellaj · Sat Jul 12, 2008 4:22 pm

I might be considered a lurker of sorts. I am very shy and I hate to impose myself on people. So I just check in, read the threads and only post if I have something I want to say. And I don't do that just here, I do it on any other message boards that I visit. And I do the same thing in real life....just kind of hang on the outside and listen to everyone's conversations and dont' join in unless I feel very comfortable doing so or am asked a specific question........

And I would assume there are a few others just like me who just lurk around here and enjoy your interaction, but are too shy to join in........
