How long did you lurk here before posting?

[156]

When I found this board I think I lurked about 15 minutes before I jumped in and started posting. I've noticed that sometimes people will post an intro and then they kinda vanish and never really post anymore. I guess maybe they had a case of premature posting and decided they didn't want to participate here after all.

So how about you? Did you lurk a while and test the waters or did you post a topic or reply right away?

I posted my first question about 5 minutes after finding this site. After several days and after initiating a few relatively long discussion topics, I finally introduced myself . At which point I was very warmly welcomed by exactly one person...

But, nevertheless, I love this site, and have been stuck here ever since

I posted for the first time after about one hour. I never did introduce myself or anything, I just started posting replies & questions. I read this site everyday, but rarely post.

Lurked for about a year before I started posting.

I was coming here for info before they had a message board. When I first found they had added a board I posted right away. Since then I go in spurts. I check in now and then, and post when I have the time. I really don't "lurk". If I'm here, I usually post something.

I still lurk.

I was here before this ubb format was put up.

This is MUCH better than the old format.

I still lurk, some, but I've been around for over three years, now.

I posted right away, but I find myelf enjoying the postings more so than starting one of my own. I'd have to say this is a great site to post on. I've met alot of people from all over this great country of ours and even outside. You all are a bunch of great individuals and I continue to look forward to reading your post and learning from some of you as well.

I registered as soon as I found the site, then posted on 'Introductions' before I logged off. I'm still getting my feet wet....

PeacefulDragon, welcome! Sorry it's so belated. Sometimes I forget to go to that section and say hello to the newbies. I don't remember if I ever posted an intro or not; I think I just started posting.

Thanks to everyone for their replies!

[PeacefulDragon]

Awww -- that's sweet! Thanks, though no need for anyone to apologize -- heck, I don't welcome everyone either .

I lurked for about a week or two then after about 300 posts said something wrong and suffered the wrath of a few ladies. They straighten me up tight we became friends and I enjoy being on here. Oh I forgot to say I made a formal apoligy. The people on here are nice. I have met some and talked to quite a few. You'll enjoy yourself.

I had been posting on another law enforcement board and some of the members told me that I should join up here. I don't think I really lurked.
