Saw a forumite online tonight who registered in 2004 but has yet to make a post.

Is it really so scary/dull here?

Some of us are very shy. I have to get my alter ego to make my posts for me. :oops:

Fairynuff but you don't have to register to lurk here.

Now that I come to think of it... I registered on BYM (in a moment of weakness) to make a post before realising that the thread in question had a second page where my point had already been made. I didn't post again for a couple of years until I was "outed" by someone who'd spotted pictures of Silkie elsewhere and made the connection.

Oooh! You should have come out spitting feathers & kicking him in the sporran. There ain't no fun if there ain't no fightin'. Just as long as it doesn't get personally aggressive that is.

You need to register on some really rough fora, where people get regularly killed, like the homebrew recipe forum, or the domino strategy forum. Spend a week or two in places like that and then most other ones seem very tame, and you'll start to feel that being called a dork is a sign that someone loves you, really.
