I'm happy that this new board seems to be bringing out us lurkers. I think a lot of us were intimidated because a lot of times, having a low post count made people consider you a troll, so you're opinion didn't matter. The longer you lurk, the more that you feel like you "know" people, but they don't know you, if that makes sense.

After a while, it just seemed daunting to try to jump into a thread as an unknown and be suspected of being a troll. Now we have a whole club of former lurkers to blend in with.

I am another lurker. I posted a little but not much. So grateful for the new board. Where else can you have this experience?

It's wonderful to see so many Peas coming out of lurkdom! I hope that you guys start to post regularly, now that we are in a new place.

That's so true, the fear of being called a troll is probably what held me back too. I don't have that fear over here, everybody is so warm and welcoming

I'll happily join the lurker club. I think I learned to keep my posts to myself after seeing so much nastiness. I would even type out a post and then just never have the nerve to actually post it. Isn't that crazy?

Isn't that crazy? Not crazy, it was a jungle over there! We can stand behind each other now for support - wish I could think of a good battle cry. The Longsuffering Lurkers makes us sound like ninnies Lurkers, Late But Just Wait! Lol

Isn't that crazy? I was the same way as you. You would not believe how many times I would type out a reply and then end up deleting it to avoid nasty responses. I hope to move forward and post more freely here. If I only had more hours in the day, darn that full-time job keeping me away from the internet.

Well, here I go! I only ever lurked at 2peasinabucket. But I did so for years. Way back to the days of Sydney and maybe even before then! I never posted once because I felt it was a mean place for the most part unless you were well-known there. And of course the way to get well-known was to post a lot, so I sat on my lurker perch forever. Hoping to break out of that now. *Dips toe in the water* Thanks to all of my fellow lurkers for paving the way here for me. I hope to participate here. I admire many of you, and the feel of this board seems much friendlier so far.

I don't think i could ever be a lurker because my big mouth is always flapping. Sometimes before my brain is engaged. Glad to see the lurkers outing themselves!

I was also only a lurker. In 10+ years, I had less than 200 posts

Like so many others, I was a lurker too. Hopefully I will find the courage to post as you all seem so welcoming.

There used to be a "general" talk forum on the Cricut board. Conversations and debates got a little heated as they do on 2Peas. But instead of letting the participants self regulate, one group went to the Admins. and complained every time they had their feelings hurt. It did get ugly as there was some outright bullying to several members. Cricut shut the forum down. One of the previous members invited us to follow her to 2Peas. The Cricut forum was tame compared to 2peas.

Omgosh vicloo, really? I certainly hope this site is more pleasant and we don't get pummeled.
It's great to see some lurkers post their first posts here, welcome everyone!

What's proper etiquette? Am I supposed to go through and like everyone who posts on my thread? Probably not, I'm just excited since it's my first thread and all... Lol! Does anyone remember how long ago that porn pic happened? I think it was 9 or ten years ago. I think it happened right before I joined 2Peas and that was 11 years ago.

What a fun story to have for your "joinging". Mine was obviously not memorable, I know I read for years and years before I decided to finally post, but have no idea what it was about. Not that I ever posted very often. Bad me. I think posts in my head all the time, does that count?

I finally thought to look at my 2peas sign up date, which was May 2003. 11 yrs is pretty much dead on.

That's what I get for being busy over the weekend! LOL

You not only started a thread but a multipage thread! You just didn't put your toes in the water you went all in. LOL

I spent 3 days staring at my ipad wondering why it was stuck on the same spot at the 2peas site.
