How does one know if they have less than 100 posts? Is it just intuition or is there a way to know? I'd like to think that in ideal world there is a number for each of us, a constant compatible with our profiles, with our shared interfaces. That number would be the number of posts on our account. For some it would be 0 and the further you drift from your ideal number the worse you are portrayed in this virtual world that we surf in.

gently caress, this is 50 words isn’t it.

Thanks for helping me work through my issues, Burt.

Seriously though let's rap for a bit. Thank you to all the lurkers who got over their fear of posting to humour me a bit in this thread. I feel like I've gotten to know you a bit more and I hope you feel the same toward me. This site? This gibbis? It's nothing if not a community based on love and mutual respect. We aren't like cspam or games-- we don't have a "built-in" topic to discuss. The beauty is this is entirely what we make of it. So let's make something great... together

Now let's boogie!

How bout you challenge a lurker to post a new thread and offer a reward?

I lurked for years and years because I was afraid of being banned. I recently started posting and got a PM from a mod encouraging me to post more. This is shocking as my posts are generally terrible but here we are. You should post.

So let’s evaluate this post. It’s a meme. It’s off topic and not funny at all. It’s kinda offensive but that ok on SA.

This is how not to post.

I’m being sincere. What is it about gbs or whatever sub that makes you intimidated enough not to post for months. You have silly thoughts, sincere opinions, a dumb joke. Are the rules too strict, unclear, etc? This is getting into qqcs poo poo I know, but we can discuss a bit I think since people are chill in here now.

It would've been boilerplate fear years ago. Like others have said, not feeling like a worthy contributor. That feels like a dumb idea to me now. For the last while I reckon just inertia? I'm not intimidated by it now, so trying to engage with this thread and then hopefully others and become a productive poster of society. Plus GBS was weirdly earnest for a while which seemed like a lot of effort and then around 2016 when that earnestness was driven out it seemed pretty loving hairy for a bit. It seems like it's a pretty good equilibrium now.

e: probe me you cowards.

As you wish, but weirdly earnest? Meaning? No funny jokes etc? Grind and me and Jeff and Jose are pretty loose but not on some bullshit stuff. It’s pretty obvious what that is, make a thread!

There are no tribes that I personally support. I think Jose and I post in cspam more than gbs. I post in diy too. There’s some good poo poo out there. Go post. Even an empty quote.
