Are they the alter egos of regular peas who don't want to speak out under their usual name, or are they new members? (I know that no one actually knows for sure - just wondering what you think.)

I wondered if the political fallout and then Grinning Cat's passing brought a lot of long time lurkers out of hiding.

I've only noticed a couple and they haven't said anything that makes me think it's someone hiding behind a new name.

I actually don't think it matters, we should welcome new members not be suspicious of their motives. This kind of thread might be a huge turn off in them wanting to post.

I'm liking it. I'm reading more that responding-too much going on here plus the giant ass pain of having to be on my phone with its teeny tiny screen and teeny tiny keyboard (laptop died) but it is nice to hear new voices.

I didn't even notice. I've been in a bit of a fog in regards to this board the last few days. But, if I had to toss out a guess, I'd go with gar 's theory. Whoever they are, I hope that they stick around and keep posting. (ETA: Oops, I should have just dittoed spongemom Scrappants there I guess. ) SaveSave

Hi Everyone!!! I'm definitely not anyone else but me lol. I mostly lurk but decided that since I joined in with sending holiday cards I should start to post more. I also love the knowledge I get from here and have received great answers to questions I have posted before. This time I'm going to promise to spend more time posting and less time lurking. 😀

I'm not an alter ego! I was easypeasy and [Michele] on the old boards.
I don't entirely agree with Annabella's opinion, but when she posted that people who just click like and don't post are spineless, I thought maybe I should occasionally post.
(I think it's better to click like than to pile on or be redundant but whatever! )

I've been around for a long time but haven't been much of a poster - either on the original 2peas or here. I usually only post if I feel like someone hasn't already said what I'd add

I feel that it just gets buried and often the original topic is derailed anyway. But welcome for posting or liking in any capacity to the shy members.

I'm not a new pea, but I've been a silent pea.
I also got a laptop ... so I can type responses. I don't like responding on my phone. ;-)

I was wondering if they were those who had flounced off in a huff because of the political threads and then immediately regretted it and had rejoined under a new name.

I just like to read and not necessarily respond. I have been around a long time, just don't like to post. Most things I am curious about have already been discussed multiple times. I will occasionally give a thumbs up to someone, but as for posting, it is rare. Hello everyone.

If everyone did the same there wouldn't be anything for you to read It would be really nice if you would add your voice...without a doubt you will have a different point of view sometimes and that might be just what someone else needs to hear. Welcome anyway

I've been around since the original 2Peas, as far back as 2005 or possibly 2001! But never much of a poster, just reading threads out of interest. I usually only post if I really have something to say about the subject. I remember some of the classic 2Peas threads archived here when they happened the first time! Im Leanne, I post if I have something to talk about, and I love doing questionnaires, like the TG food one the other day.

The political threads are pointless now. I might stick around for the first 2 pages, but after that they are pointless. If they did join under a new name they are probably smarter than me and stay away from them.

Not a political reason for me. If I am not interested in the title of the thread, political or not, I don't bother to open it. I have been a lurker as far back as i can remember. I was a person friend of one of the garden girls on the original board, but just didn't have an interest in posting.
Here I am today long after the demise of the old board having just as much quiet fun as before. And by the way, I bought a Shark vacuum because of all the great raves and reviews of the Peas. Thanks!
