I'm going to post more - I'm committed to helping keep this board active. I mostly lurked before with occasional posts - though I read every single day for years! I was surprised at how very upset I was yesterday when 2 Peas was suddenly locked. I'd come to really enjoy popping on daily to see what was up with my Peas!

It will make things easier I think for lurkers now because we are all now "even" - all starting the same time & we can establish ourselves - there will still be BS that I for one (& most lurkers) will shy away from - THAT'S why I hardly ever posted because unless you were a level one pea - you sorta got steppedn.

I agree the "intimidation" level seems less here. I often wondered though, about those peas who had an opinion on everything. If I don't feel I am directly answering a question or have something to offer from my experience I still won't post. That is why this group is great. Made up of all kinds from all walks of life.

Hi! I've been lurking at 2peas for about a year, and like many others have said, I mostly lurk because I'm in a different time zone and when I find a thread most of the relevant replies have already been posted. I'll try to be more visible here though.

Like so many others, I've lurked and loved the site for many years. So very happy to find a new home and now hope to post and participate!

Maybe...I used to be an active poster long ago but once I had kids I was happy to just find a spare minute to lurk!

Definitely a lurker, not sure how much I'll post as I've gone off message boards pretty much - I just like to read more than participate. As someone said way, way upthread, most of the time what I want to say has been already said ad infinitum so I don't want to bother. I also can't stand much drama, just don't have the stomach for it anymore.

I think that I will. It seems like a fresh start for all of us. I was on 2 Peas for more than 9 years with various board burps etc but I was always a bit intimidated by all of the "Well Known" really active peas. While I miss 2 Peas, I really hope that more of us feel free to post and interact with each other! I want to and hope to. I was like you and lurked due to intimidation. I think I joined in 2004 or something but usually never even logged in to view. I learned a bunch on the scrappy boards and NSBR too. I just never posted really due to intimidation.

I'm going to try to post more but I'm not one to post redundant answers to questions or post just to hear myself talk (here or in real life....) so we'll see how it goes.

So often, I feel like all I have to add to a thread is something like "I agree." I have a hard time expressing myself clearly in writing when it's a controversial topic, and have been kind of jumped on for phrasing something badly and having people misunderstand me. So I'm still going to semi-lurk, but maybe I'll get out there a little bit more.

I'm hoping to, I registered in 2007 but mostly lurked. I don't even remember my user name!

I want to try...I was always hesitant about posting on the other board, guess it did feel intimidating! There were many times I almost did lol...so I would like to contribute more, yes

I was mostly a lurker (different pea name) but I always posted when I felt I had something to continue to the conversation.

I think a lot of the reason I didn't post more often before was that I was too lazy to log in. If I can get my log-in to stay open, I will probably post more often.

I think so. One reason I didn't post a ton is I'm pretty private about mixing my real life/online life, I think this site will be a little less public than the 2Peas one was.

I was a prolific poster many years ago, then gradually became a lurker/sometimes poster. Was stunned when 2peas abruptly shut down. Even though I suspected it would happen, maybe even soon, I was shocked that they pulled the rug from underneath us without a word. Harumph. That was our home!

I'm really going to try! I agree with the others, that it can be a bit intimidating here. I'd say I'll stick to the non-controversial posts, but around here, anything can become a fight, so I guess we'll see how it goes! This is me too!

Plus as a Brit I was always really conscious of being an outsider looking in and didn't want to offend the host nation so to speak.

Tiffany twisted pretty much nailed it for me. I don't want to be redundant.
On political threads I really like to think about my answers and often times by the time I am ready to put thought into words the conversation has moved on. I wish my brain was faster

I had less than 500 posts on Two Peas since I registered over 10 years ago. I do have to say that there were beginning to be so many political threads. Assuming it won't end up that way here, then I do hope to post more.

And pb nailed it for me! It takes me waaay too long to put my thoughts into words. I read it, edit, read it again. It's a sickness really.

I lurked the last few years, so I've already posted more over here in five minutes than I posted over there in five years. Lol Ha! Me too. I even started a thread I feel the same - let's see how it goes!

Yes I will. But I will have to make a conscious effort to do so. For all the same reason as stated previously.

So I'm still going to semi-lurk, but maybe I'll get out there a little bit more. That sounds like me! I signed up with 2peas nearly 10 years ago but ended up mostly lurking (daily!) because it seemed that every time I posted someone jumped on me. Too disheartening to keep posting. Hopefully it will be different here. I'm certainly going to try posting more.
