Yet another lurker who has never actually posted. Hoping to change that... You just did.

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 don't know,I have always found it rather freeing to not have close friendships here. I never feel compelled to bite my tongue, lol. Though I do bite it a lot more than I used to. I have made some very close friends on other boards over the years but I never felt much of a connection with any individual person at 2 peas. I think maybe because there are so many people posting? There are certainly many people I enjoy reading and some, not so much. Well gypsypmama, I certainly recognize that avatar. So cute. I just spent the day with two dear friends I met at the bucket. <3 You really can meet some wonderful people in this group.

I have to say it is much easier on this board. Ii usually browse on my phone and on the app, it was hard to see who was posting. Now I can see the OPs name and even have a like button!

Part time lurker, part time poster here. It kind of just depends on whats going on at the time. I do hope all the boards stay active and interesting.

I signed up at 2peas in 2002 and was active for a bit...then life got in the way and I either lurked, or was too busy to keep up with all the posts, and, well, I've been MIA for a long LONG time. Hoping to find some time to get back to MBs.

I considered myself a lurker just because of post count and the fact that I wouldn't get picked in a line up as a "recognizable" pea. I like the fresh start that we've gotten here and hope to be a more involved member and less of just a read and runner!!

We replied to the same post, started chatting and found out that she lives just 10 minutes from me I've also met a few other peas irl - really great people! I'll always be thankful to 2peas for the friendships that I've made.

I was a big lurker with only 300 something posts in 11 years. I try to add my 2 cents in wherever I can, but usually by the time I get to a conversation or want to add anything, my thoughts have already been expressed. However, I am quiet in real life and I tend to just sit back and listen anyway. I will try to do better, but I also work all day on a computer and only read during uploads and downloads of files (I'm a medical transcriptionist), so by the time I have time to post, I want to be done with the computer and doing other things.

How appropriate that my first post would be to the Lurkers (LOL). Hoping to find some inspiration here and will try to post more. Belonged to the old board but posted rarely as there was so much to read, I forgot what I wanted to say heeheeheeheehee

I was a lurker at TPs for over 12 years with about 1500 posts. I mostly posted on the uneventful stuff. I have enough of that in my real life, lol. I'll try to be a little more chatty on the new board

I've lurked for years... When the board went belly up, I panicked a little. I got so much information from the pod, and I didn't want to lose that. Decided that maybe I ought to participate rather than sit on the bench.

My thoughts exactly!

I didn't have many posts over at 2Peas, in spite of the fact that I was there from the very first day. On the rare occasions when I did post, I tended to be a thread-killer. I will try to do better here. {crosses fingers and hopes that someone else posts on this thread after her}
