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

Is it really so scary/dull here?

Happens everywhere except locked forums, oh I forgot, it happens there too

happens in th epub/ clubhouse too. some people like to be voyeur/ observer rather than protaganist.

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

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.

PS - Welcome aboard - we'll try to keep him in check, unless you really are a dork of course.

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.

i spotted chappers lurking on the forum a few minutes ago. i see he hasn`t posted since the one above
the question must be answered is he or is he not a dork

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.

i`m sure we would all come to love chappers on this forum - if only we could get to know him a bit better.

come on chappers, give us a post

ye really need tae ken the nature o ra beastie here...when wee Jamesie ca's someone a dork, tha' es yin o they terrms o endeairment.

i think we ( those of us who inhabit these and other fora ) know the nature of wee jaimsie. what we want to know is the nature of wee chappers
come on chappers, give us a clew
