Lurkers - Show that you are out there!

[Matt Attallah]

I know a lot of people come to CD.com and just read. They don't/won't post. Well - here is your thread. Just stop in and put anything down - just to show the rest of us that you are out there!

[Carolyn Duncan]

Some of us are trying to get reaquainted with what is going on because we have been away for so long or just haven't been able to get to posting... I'm trying to get back around more!! I really am- even if there are still people out there who are going "UHG!"

[EddieMcD]

Hey, it's Carolyn!

::waves to Carolyn::

Remember people, there's nothing bad about lurking. Hell I stayed well hidden for a while myself. Show us that you exist!

Hi,
I'm still here; just extremely busy.
Sorry if I seem to have been ignoring you guys. I'm not really. I think about the CD gang often. I doubt I will be posting much in the future as I sometimes (usuually) feel like I am making an unwelcome fool of myself.
I will however, soon be asking for some input for a possible scene in a book, involving a propane type bar-B-Q grill and the probability of it being turned into a self propelled vehicle in either an emergrncy situation, or just an act of rebellion against a BBQ obsessed parent (I haven't decided yet. Fiction can be so messy in the early creative stages). I refer to the scene loosely in my files as "Meals on Wheels!"

It is funny that you should say that cause it seems like I post a lot of stuff but everyone ignores my posts, unless I start a new thread. It is like one step above talking to myself. hahaha


...i never talk to myself by the way.

[Matt Attallah]

No, no, no.

I didn't want anyone to be offended. I just wanna see more people. It seems like in the off-seasion - only about 10 people constantly post - and I wanna know who reads it.

Mabye it can be a point for people to come out of their shell and post something for once!

<shameless plug> Playing FIRST Jeopardy is a good way to come out of your shell.

::points people to the Triva Game forum::

Have fun. </shameless plug>

I lurked for like 2 months before I signed up. Then I lurked awhile more before I posted anything

[tatsak42]

I like idling and lurking. Though you can't idle on CD... Ah well.

/me continues lurking.. and occasional posting.... (????)

[Matt Attallah]

Comon all you readers out there! I expected to see more than this when I got back from Chicago!!

Get to postin' in here! Just one little letter, or a binary number, or something!!

Just post!

(Don't be afraid of posting - CD.com shouldn't bite...)

It's ok to lurk a whole lot in the begining so that you can see what's going on with the boards. I have much more respect for those who lurk and post intelligently thean those who bring up things that get posted like 5 times a day.

Hehe... a note to all - 'Be sure to read a thread no matter what the title may be!' (I was way off with the content of this!)


... anyways, it's cool to be hidden when you get into the swing of things... I followed throughout the busy 2002 build and competition season, and right after PARC... I decided it was time to speak up and become noticed! Speak up and become noticed on CD; let us know what you think... and add another perspective to topics!


P.S. I know of lurkers... actually a very active lurker *cough* whom doesn't post much *cough* maybe an average of one post every 4 months *cough*

[EddieMcD]

I imagine if there wasn't the chit-chat forum, there would be a lot more lurkers. In here, we can be ourselves without the seriousness. Of course, you can be serious in the other forums and crazy here. Now that sounds familiar...

/me waves to carolyn (my secret hero) And Eddie (My other hero).
I'll wave to Maddy too, but she doesn't lurk. She's the anti-lurker, involvement, super girl.
