Lurkers & Newbies - don't be afraid! Heck, even mods can make mistakes! :)

*lol* At least people are looking - that's a start, right?

I'm hoping a lurker will post here and we can all smother her/him with welcome posts, thereby inspiring others to join. ;)
 
You know, besides being lonely (27 lurkers right now :(), there's also the fact that we can't possibly cover every movie you lurkers are interested in.

So, if you join you get to start threads on films YOU want to discuss, not just read our opinions. How's that for enticement? :lol: And yes, I know starting threads is WAY scary - I used to be afraid of that, too, and even got slapped down for it when I first came to this board from YA! But we promise to be gentle, and we'll definitely offer up and advice if you have questions about it. :)
 
Anybody else find it ironic that, so far, this thread has been viewed by 80 people, but only 12 (13 if you count me) have posted anything?

:look:

Just me then? :lol:
 
:hug: For you both!

Come on people, you dont want to see lonely mods and even posters posting by themselves do you? :no: :lol:
 
*nods* I guess my fear was that there already seemed to be cliques (and there were - but they were welcoming, just fans of the same thing), and I was afraid.

Silly, really, when you think about it, but that was back in the Roswell and Young American days (1999 to early 2000), and those boards were crazy back then.

But I've gained so much from joining - the people I've met (some in person, some not) from just jumping into conversations here - there's no way I would ever want to change that. And all from a message board. :glow:
 
Aw, welcome and enjoy the board :wave:

... to the dark side? :lol: I thought we're encouraging lurkers to come out of the dark? :lmao:
 
haha this thread is hilarious... anyhoo, am still a newbie so i thought i'd say hello. been enjoying reading/posting here very much. am crazy about shopping, celebrity gossip, movies and all kinds of tv shows, and am lucky to have a job that allows me to do this shamelessly and get paid for (haha - am in pr/marketing for entertainment industry) - will def share cool stuff with you guys as they come up.

there am not a lurker no mo'. :)
 
29 lurkers? :(

Wish there was some way to lure you in but if this thread isn't going to do it...
*tries to figure out another solution*
 
Aww! :D

Thing is, we just have a fantastic community here! Seriously - I know I'm biased but I think I have the two best co-mods possible, and the other great mods post here regularly.

...but I AM biased! :lol: Why wouldn't you want to join? Okay, maybe because I'm a little scary (heck, my neighber even told me that this morning!), but really, I'm a lot of bark and very little bite. *lol*
 
:nod: Right, I actually lurked on Fan Forum for a week and registered right away after seeing how many threads I wanted to post on and share my thoughts with, but I never thought I would feel more welcome on here then I do.
 
*sniffle* I'm so lonely - I see you all lurking but no one's posting with me.

*sigh* Guess it's time to go off and play by myself...
