Lurkers...

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Hi all you lovely fab folks that read the forums but never post (we know you’re there!). This is your chance to come and say ‘hi’ and be made to feel welcome in the general forum melee.

Don’t be shy!

I've been reading them for ages and didn't have the bottle to post. I've commented on a few and they are good fun. Some people are so serious tho

First impressions were this place is mental. It's like a really bad group chat

It’s not much different to a shy person not taking part in a conversation, but telling you their thoughts one-to-one later.

It's easier said than done but just carry on posting. Some people will take exception, others might like you. My first post was tore a new one but I thought fuck it and carried on. The forums are filled with people - some posts they are nice, others bitchy.

Many of us open threads that go nowhere, our posts get ripped apart, miss understood and shouted down.

Too many cliques on these sites, both in chat and the forums. Puts a lot of people off posting cos they often get ignored.

"They sometimes reply to you directly though.I don't get that?

It’s not much different to a shy person not taking part in a conversation, but telling you their thoughts one-to-one later.

That's a good point. It still feels a little creepy though. "

Really? I regularly send and receive private messages from people, either discussing something further or sharing a joke. It’s never felt creepy.

The forums are great entertainment but I do think there are people who just view from a distance because they don't feel comfortable posting in them. The forums certainly aren't a place for the sensitive or faint hearted,
