Attention All Lurkers.

Whats it gonna take to get you to join up! tell us! maybe we can arrange something :p

Lurkers, it is true. All you have to do is post and say what you want Pea to give you as a bribe to posting. Why, here's one that has come through already:

Hello. My name is Haggis. I am a lurker. I never ever post because I am too shy. However, the generous offer of all the chocolate I can eat (the chocs contained in the link above are all spoken for. by me) is what done made me finally post.

Here's another one!

Hello. My name is Missy Very Shy. I am a lurker. I never ever post because I am too shy. However, this forum has promised me $$$ if I post, so I am now posting.

Hey! PeaPod

Yuh know, I really feel for yuh! I know exactly what your sayin'. People who just visit and steal whatever yuh got and never even post a message of "thank you" ..... irritate me to no end.

I remember when I first got my puter. I got my puter in May of 2001 and opened an MSN group in September, I think. Anyways; in 3 months I had 58 members and I was the only one posting. So, I just banned every one of them and closed my site to public viewing. From that day forward, I only used it to store information at.
This is the address.
http://groups.msn.com/PARANOIDDOTCALM

Then, when Rogers shut down their chat rooms, a group of about 30 people were looking for another place. So, I opened up a board and a chat board as well.
The people who joined already knew each other and they posted regularly. But it was the lurkers who irritated me. I used to check my log file and get angrier every day. Everytime someone came and just downloaded an mp3 or stole a cartoon had me feel used and abused.
I know its crazy. But it was just how I felt.
So, I just shut-em down. I gave everyone a weeks notice and that was it!

But, as I join other sites, I do my best to post regularly. Yuh know, I have not read anyone's profile here because I don't care. I just want to appreciate what is in their minds and not so much their hearts. When first getting my puter, the reason I chose my Nic of Paranoid Dot Calm is because that is the first thing I noticed when reading profiles. They were always empty of content. Everyone in Mouse Land is paranoid.

Keep smilin' and dont let 'yer mouse byte yuh!

Calm
