Lenny Descartes posted:no thanks I'm in awe. Do you all think some post with alts? I ended up with multiple accounts due to lost passwords/laziness/impatience when probed. Is that what some of these crazy low posts accounts are from? And do you "superlurkers" read gbs regularly?

tpink posted:Really, if you do post in good faith and just participate, the worst thing that happens is that people scroll by whatever you posted and ignore it. It’s totally fine. If it’s a topic that interests you, , and it doesn’t really matter if you think somebody else has already covered similar ground. Talking to strangers on the internet is cool and good. Tbf, you can get poo poo on. Believe me you gotta just ignore it! And honestly it's pretty rare. One piece of advice: if you want to start posting a little best plan is clicking on NEW threads, not everything has already been said. Read it and if your take/tidbit/opinion hasn't been posted already then BOOM

Seriously 2.0 posted:If I post too much then I'll lose what makes me special, I'll just be another faceless goon! I'm thinking I'm going to be posting until I have exactly 100 posts, then retire, knowing I got the perfect balance between lurking and being a regular poster. A being of Two Worlds if you will. Ok Are you Two Worlds or what???

Part-Time Maenad posted:I used to lurk a lot more when I first found the forums little over a decade ago. I was just a dumbass awkward teenager with no money though so I never actually had an account. Plus I'd really only read megathreads and oldschool photoshop threads. That is cool. At the time was it emptyquoted a lot? Any sense that it was super special?? Very nice to see a chick in GBS!

Noshtane posted:The sad truth right here. I actually wrote up somewhat of an effort post for the old A$AP Rocky thread. I was writing about Swedish civil law, my experiences as a lay judge and a guy who ended up in the Supreme Court of Sweden over a purple nurple. Then when I was about ready to post, the thread was locked and gassed. You were a lay judge? Is that some kind of sex therapist?

I still remember how exciting it was to first post threads, a little like coke, every post is a hit. It's genuinely a rush tbh. Then if by chance one goes gold HOLY gently caress you can get hooked... Its legit fun to keep an eye on a thread. If one goes bad (I accidentally posted a thread op of something new to me but not to goons-- the storm of OK GRAMMA GO BACK TO FACEBOOK was humiliating lol) But just close it and let it sink, or ignore it, it will be soon forgotten. 😘

[quote="Decoherant" post="497683481"] Is this a fetish for those of you who post frequently? Turning lurkers I mean? Sweatily clambering over each other to pop some new goon's posting cherry? I can't imagine why anyone would be eager to add more white noise to a forum like GBS, and most of the actually funny posters left for Twitter years ago. What's left hear now is an endless sea of white male computer touchers in their 30's and 40's with a once-edgy but now sad distaste for popular culture held loosely together by our patchy memories of a funny thing that once happened long ago. How long has it been since a goldmine worthy thread was started here? No you don't need my posting. Uh You are correct

Ersatz Haderach posted:Thanks for pointing out the surprisingly active Dune thread! Perhaps... the sleeper must wake. (But probably not.) When you are referring to a specific goon it's nice to quote the post that started the conversation/a reference point. It's a thrill, #1 to see that lovely shade: Emptyquote Yellow, and #2 it can help other readers know what's going on. *lurker tip* That thread IS amazing

threedaycrash posted:What if you've been lurking so long you can't bring yourself to post? Seems a little late to start now. No one is going to really care or notice though----goons like NEVER look at profiles so you are just another username they don't immediately recognize--- that happens constantly. You have nothing to lose, its honestly kind of fun. When a thread is new, look at it. That way not everything has been said, and if you can think of anything relevant say it. That is an easy way to start. It's nice to meet you
