Lurkers, post a thread idea you’ve had but we’re to bashful to post it. I bet you get a ton of support.

I remember agonizing about what my first thread should be back in the 2004 GBS days. Rules were strict back then, so I wanted something that wouldn't rock the boat, yet enticed others to contribute.

Naturally, I chose the exciting topic of "what is your dental hygiene routine?" where people could weigh in on whether they flossed, etc. No jokes to be found I considered it a minor success given that I got a page or two of replies and didn't get banned.

2004 gbs was a very different place.

1200 posts, nah

But what about posts/day? Less than 1 seems like a good lurker cutoff. 0.1 is powerful lurking

One of the worst parts of being is a lurker is that you can't remember the names of the smilies you want to use. So you're left rehashing a small group of probably outdated smilies

I try to use :henget: now and again to show that I'm "with it"
