You know I'm also pretty quiet in real life too, plus I'm quite serious and don't always get when something in a post is said for real or tongue in cheek. I think coming in from the outset will help though. There was definitely a feeling (for me) that nsbr had a lot of friendships and groups and history that I wasn't part of.
I just love that people are feeling more able to say hello and introduce themselves. That's quite a big hurdle to start with.

Another long-time lurker here. Hope to have the courage to start posting here!

I am a long time lurker, 75 posts in 7 years, though I read every day. I tried to post more, but for some reason it made me a target at the blog. Hopefully I'll feel like I can post more here.

I was on 2peas for years... I tried to come out of "lurkdom" a few times but really never had the guts to do it. I LOVED the weekly reading thread and I would post there. So glad to have found these new boards!

I was mostly a lurker too. I usually just answer Disney questions. LOL I just went and grabbed my Pea info, 427 posts in 6 years, ugh!

I wasn't really a lurker but I didn't post a lot, and I only responded to threads. I rarely started them. I am going to commit and say I pledge to start one new thread per week. Cuz what someone else said is true -- if everyone lurks, there is nothing to read!
Anyone else want to make a specific pledge rather than just saying "I'll try to post more"?

I was on 2peas for 11 years and only had 5000 posts. I'm going to challenge myself to post more.

I was a 2peas member for coming up 7 years and, although I lurked nearly every day, I never posted a word! This is my first post, probably it won't be my last...

I suppose I was more of a lurker of 10 years although I posted a fair bit on the genealogical threads. I loved how supportive everyone was when someone needed help and how bizarre some things were! Hope things are like that here. I recognise you from UKS Fruitysuet and Taniwha too.

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 mostly lurk, but do post some (2500 posts in 11 years or so) and felt the same way when the Site was closed. I have a ton of stuff bookmarked too - I need to take care of that.

I was only on two peas for a couple of years but lurked the whole time! If me posting will help keep this new board going than that's what I'll do ? so grateful for admin for starting this up, I didn't realize how lost I would be without the peas!

I lurked probably two years before joining, was a pea for four years, only started one thread and had 193 posts - I will try to do more than lurk......

I have been a lurker at NSBR since forever. I've never had a presence. I've never made a single comment, let alone a post. I wanted to engage so many times because I'm somewhat opinionated and I've also been affected by certain peas. But I never did, to my regret. Here I yam. I aim to behave.

I think I managed about 35 posts in the 12+ years I was a pea but I still read the NSBR almost everyday. It was definitely my guilty pleasure. So glad that we have this option to keep it going. There is nothing like the Power of the Peas - for better or worse

Was a lurker long before I became an official Pea in 2007 and continued to lurk--less than 1,000 posts! I am going to try to post more often.

I lurked for a long time after being flambéd on one of my first posts. Then I became a thread killer and then I sort of fit in.

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. Me too! I was on the epic thread killer post with smilies that reached 100 pages. Remember that one? I did come back every day but did not post often.

Lurker since start of 2peas....my daily routine at work was thrown off these last two days: log in, coffee, lurk at 2peas. Now it'll be: log in, coffee, lurk (or should I say post) at 2peasrefugees.

Two Peas has been my home page for over 10 years but I very rarely posted. I had a panic attack when I realized the boards were closed as where on earth would I learn so many random but useful things?! I was so thankful to see that this new board was started, and that so many people I "recognized" had found their way here. So the least I can do is start participating.

I have always lurked. I read everyday...I love seeing all the different points of view. Several times my opinion on a topic has been swayed by one of you ladies . I hope to be brave enough to actually join in here. My name is Joanne. As soon as I figure out how to get a siggy I'll add it.

I was a lurker for the last five years or so. I only had a few posts but read almost every day. I found 2Peas to be a great distraction for my life...so many personalities, so much drama and so much real support for people who were strangers. I was sad to see the site go down but glad that I found this. I hope to become a regular member here and not just a lurker!
