Lurkers, what is stopping you from contributing.

Personally for me, when one advocates for censorship or a member attacks or behaves as entitled.

Of course, it is supposed to be fun, educational or interesting. If it s serious, keep an open mind about it.
 
Some boards go after newbies like piranha going after goldfish, so I used to be afraid of not being accepted, and afraid of being attacked (much like in real life situations). I think I lurked as a non-member on my first board for a year before I joined, then lurked for another year before I finally started to participate. I lurked for 5 years on the red board before I got up the courage to post there.
 
:rofl!: I thought you were a lurker? Apparently a part time lurker:) As cyber Mike says, they lurk because they don't want to share or participate, self explanatory:)
 
Just to throw this out there. Sometimes when long time posters show too much familiarity with each other, it can feel a little intimidating to new members and they might feel like they are breaking into a clique. It took me a while before I felt comfortable posting in the lobby. All the inside jokes back and forth and all that. These days, I take it all in stride, but back then, it felt little weird.

I know what you mean, I felt the same way when I first started posting here. I don't know what we can do about that though.

I read the Lobby for months without understanding half of what was being posted, then one day I turned on the option to show avatars, and I realized that many members were referring to the characters in their avatars and it started to make sense.
 
I think where ever there is an open chat format you will have inside jokes.
Sometimes the trick is to just ask what?
 
Erectile I know what you mean. Papa and Peace also known as PP are like to peas in a pod kind of like PP are in a PP all the time.
 
Too all lurkers and new members... this is what this forum is all about. Don't be shy and join in the fun. We are all pervs so at least you have common ground to get started with.

Some are absolutely fucking idiots too. Don't be shy, I'll make sure I tell you what category you belong in. Right @Jasper?
