Welcome new “Lurkers”

[SFBayDon]

Last year I found the DIS via iTunes and the Podcast. I was a lurker (read but do not post) for a time and then jumped in with both feet and have interacted with some great people. If you are new to the boards and are lurking please jump in and say hello so we can get to know you. Congrats on finding the DIS, you will sooooo enjoy it.
Don

PS: Come on, it is OK to reply and say hello
PSS: Really it is OK

Ditto..except the stuff about the podcast timing....well and most of the other stuff...but ditto to the welcome stuff!

Just talk about cake and/or Pie and we will fawn over anyone new!!

Don number 2...well actually I'm the third...but thats another story...

I was one of these lurkers that you speak of. I started listening to the Podcast a while ago, and then started lurking, and recently started posting. I guess the reason i waited so long is because it seems like there are SO many people on here who allready know everyone, lots of well established relationships and inside jokes that i dont get. and when i finally start posting i make the mistake of telling everyone about the "secret fried chicken and waffles" and piss Kevin off !!!! just playin Kevin, i know you werent mad. Cakes and Pies, Cakes and Pies !!! i did make a KILLER homeade cheese cake with Caramel topping the other day that was SOOOOO good. Thanks for being so welcoming all !

No one got the jokes at first....cause there weren't any.

We created them together.

If you dont get something ....ask...someone will explain it.

You really have to just jump in with both feet.

And not talk about Chicken and Waffles.

Very true! Believe me, I have had to ask.

And not talk about Chicken and Waffles.

Just watch out for Kevin, he gives a stellar review but he can sure carry a grudge

Its crazy how many different little sub-cultures there are even within the Dis community. there are a TON of little groups on the community board, those crazy campers on the camping board, the podcast group ( my personal fave ) its hard to keep up ! it feels like a 2nd job, and i just got started !

I love the podcast and have driven my family crazy by making them listen to my "new friends," John, Kevin, Pete, etc.

As you can see, I've only posted once (and only because I could answer a question about the Warner Bros. studio tour in Burbank). And that thread died immediately after I responded. Most of the time, though, I don't think I can add anything to the conversation.

I did meet Yellow Mickey Ponchos in the Grand Californian Hotel parking lot on Christmas Eve, and my husband said, "She seems nice. Maybe you should post on that site."

Soooo....I guess I'm not really a lurker...I don't post CONSISTENTLY...but occasionally...but I never really introduced myself either....

*ahem*

Hiiii I'm Cathie and I'm addicted to Disney lol I live in Colorado and have been to Disneyland twice and Disneyworld for the very first time in September. I'm a big kid learning to be an adult and trying to find my way in the world. I work for Anthem blue cross blue shield from home, have a boyfriend of 6 years, and live with two crazy zany cats...


Ummm..

OH! And I'm a lover of BOTH pie and cake

Hi, former lurker here. (That sounds so dirty )

I love reading the boards even if I don't have a lot to say. But that's kind of my personality anyway. I usually hang back in a conversation until people know me better.

So my feet are in and I'm happy I found this place. I just wish Wednesday would come sooner.

Hey, we all like to watch!! But joining is much more fun!!

i think we are almost all former lurkers here. It is hard to jump in and can seem intimidating, but just do it.

So I don't always know the inside jokes or you may feel left out- but you can create your own or new ones together with new friends. That's what we are here for. Everyone started somewhere. There are so many great people here that are so welcoming- so jump in! They don't bite- unless you have cake!

welcome!!!!!!

I wish I could post more ... but the way the forums are, it's difficult to see many posts that interest me, unless I hunt them down inside each forum. Of course, the threads change after a few posts (usually turning into talks about food).

I just wish there were a way to search for NEW post threads - then I might find more topics I could add to.

Just stay in the podcast forum and you'll be fine

I could do that, but that would be such a disservice to all the other wonderful sections of the boards.

Tru Tru, I do enjoy the photo board...but I'm afraid of the community board.

 

[SFBayDon]

The community board scares me………

Any other lurkers want to start posting?

 

[sshaw10060]

I probably qualify as an almost lurker. I only post when I have something to add to the conversation or with a question I need answered. That's about 38 times in thew last 4 or 5 years. I just started listening to the Podcast and love it.

 

[auroralark]

Okay, I'll bite.

I'm kind of a lurker. I've been trying to delurk as of late. As you can see by my post count, I've been a board member since 2004, but only have a little over 200 posts.

My name is Lauren, and I live in Dutchess County, NY with my DH, 2 dogs and a rabbit named Mitten. We just moved into our house in September and we're still getting settled, although we're mostly unpacked. DH and I will be celebrating our 2nd anniversary in May at Disney. We honeymooned there and I can't wait to go back! I've been a Disney nut since my first trip in 1987 - since then I spent most of my childhood convincing my parents we had to go back. I was successful a bunch of times, I'm happy to say.

Okay, I think I've rambled on for long enough. I just want to say that everyone on this board is so nice.

I'm an on again, off again lurker myself. This is also my second screen name as I can't seem to get into my first one anymore...odd as that is...

I'd post a lot more if I was near my computer during the day! I'd probably be one of those multiple thousand posters! I've been around the DIS since '04!

I am really trying not to be a lurker!!!!

Hi. My name is Judith, I am a nurse, mother of two boys, wife to a bigger boy and have become Disney obsessed since our trip in 2005 to celebrate my graduation from nursing school. I have just recently started listening to the podcasts - I can be technically challenged but I am trying to change that as well - and love them by the way - wish I could listen to a new one every day!!!! Any wooo - Hello all - I will try to be less shy around here.
