It's time to unlurk!
I speak from experience as I lurked big time for over 10 years. Let's face it nsbr could be pretty scary. But it's big girl panties time and I want this place to become a thriving community, diverse, funny, supportive and, of course, we definitely need a bit of controversy to get stuck into now and again.

It's kinda difficult to be funny or controversial or both when you're not fluent in a language, but I'll try.

Hey fruitysuet! I used to see you on UKS (I am Taniwha on there) I was a full time lurker on NSBR for the past 9/10 years! It was my nightly reading, I'd retire to bed with the iPad and happily read 'would you eat this' and WWTPD? threads. So glad there's somewhere new for me to carry on my routine!

I admit I was mostly a lurker. I am going to try and be more involved.

I was moslty a lurker too but I did post a few questions (regarding learning diabilities and kids). I received very useful information and was so grateful for the responses. I too will be more active. I really want this board to work!

Same here! I probably only had about 3,000 posts but had been regularly visiting twopeas since 2006. I was so sad to see the board closed!

I was a lurker for about a year but finally 'un lurked' as I was going in to hospital for major surgery 5 years ago, and needed a distraction.
Boy can the NSBR distract at times!

I was a major lurker for 11 years! So glad this board was started. I will definitely try to post more often.

I'm a long time lurker and infrequent poster. The horror I felt about 12 hours ago when I found the Pea board locked cannot be repeated, this board has to be a success!

I was a lurker for years before I put on my big girl panties and had courage to start posting!! I joined originally to view the gallery.found it very inspirational then ventured over to start reading the NSBR but it still took years to post anything on there.

I had been a member for at least 8 years and was a very infrequent poster. Life got hectic and I forgot about the board until about 6 months ago. New board, new name so I am coming out of the shadows!

Hi! I used to be pretty active on 2Peas, but somewhere along the line I got disillusioned with things there and just kinda stopped posting cold turkey. No one noticed, so I just flew under the radar and responded once in a while to very, very non-drama causing posts. Although, on 2Peas, the most innocent sounding post could go bananas in 1.23 nano seconds, so I guess I was still playing it "fast and loose"! Glad to have a place to keep up with everyone--I'll try to be more involved.

I was a lurker for around 7 years or so. I loved reading the threads during my downtime. I'm so glad that this was started. Thank you to whomever put this together.

i dont' even know how many posts i had at the pod... maybe a couple of thousand... i was an infrequent poster/daily lurker since about 2003... i'm always jealous and amazed when people post about the friendships they've made on 2peas because i've never been able to really connect with anyone, maybe our fresh start will help me step out a little more! i have a few peas on my facebook as well, so we'll see! (my avatar over there was a piece of flair with a spoon and a fork, my avatar here is my sig pic that garnered a LOT of peamail so i thought that might help people recognize me!)

I'm pretty much a lurker; I comment or ask questions once in a while, but I generally try to sneak in a few minutes to read 2Peas at work, and I don't post from there. I'll try to be a bit more visible!

Lurker checking in! Most of the time I was just too lazy to log in, but I was sooooo good at the read-n-run. ;-). Learned so much over the past 15 years, so I'm glad we have a new place to hang out!

I had over 10,000 posts, but I'd mostly turned into a lurker--always just kind of coming in and reading. The thing is, if we ALL lurk, nothing exciting is EVER going to happen. Go ahead and post, you've got nothing to lose!

I recognised your avatar straight away. I'm also hoping to get to know a few peas better on FB maybe although the chances of ever actually meeting up across the pond are pretty slim probably!!

I lurked...ALOT!! I would read posts during the day at work between phone calls and orders when we have downtime. In the 7 years I was a Pea I had less than 800 posts. There were a lot of times I would want to post but by the time I got to a thread it would be so completely derailed by one troll or the other that it just wasn't worth it. I'm really hoping this board won't become like that. I remember what the pod was like when I FIRST joined 7 years ago. I miss that atmosphere and hope we can start anew with that feel to us here.
