Dear lurkers...

*waves*  Hi!

I have a question for all y'all....

Why do you lurk?

No, seriously.... I'm curious.

Plus it's slow, and we could use the conversation.

Re: Dear lurkers...

  • Yea I was wondering too.  And are you lurkers Niners, too, or just...random...lurkers?

  • I don't really lurk, but I don't post a lot during the day because I have to do so on my iPhone which is a PITA.

    I don't consider you a lurker.

    I guess I'm referring to the "quiet lurkers" who were anonymously represented by a brand new AE last night.

    I'm just wondering why you choose to lurk.

    And yeah, like MFEO says... are you Niners, or randoms who just find us awesome?

    This isn't a trap, I swear.... I don't bite.  Hard.

    I know I'm not a lurker at all...but I'll admit there are times where I don't answer a post because everything I would have said was already posted. And sometimes I'll check back to see others opinions, etc....so I definitely help run up the read count.

    That's kinda what I'm curious about, too.  I mean, this post has 80ish views, and only 6 responses?  So apparently people are looking at it... are they all us "regulars?"  Something tells me, no...

    This.  I've check in a couple times, but I'm obviously not a lurker.   I don't think you're paranoid, or if you are I am a bit too because that's just a weird to me.  I know it happens, but it is kind of creepy!

  • I looked at this thread three times. So, I guess it could be us niners? But I agree with MB and Christina, doesn't seem likely.....
  • I'll admit, I lurk a bit. Either the post doesn't really apply to me or I feel like I don't have a worthy enough response. So mostly, I just sit on the sideline.
  • I don't think I count myself as a lurker, just not a super active poster. I can't nest through my work computer and it's annoying to through my iPhone. Usually when I can get on the nest it's at night and I feel like the moment has passed so I don't comment too much. Also, like JA mentioned, if I don't catch a post right away someone else has already said what I would have said.
  • I would consider myself an almost lurker, lol. Ya, I post here and there, but I don't think anyone knows/remembers my first name so I don't think I'm really a regular. Sometimes, I just want something to read while I'm taking a little break, or I just don't have an opinion, or I don't feel like getting involved in the drama (like yesterday's posts). But, there have been times when I've written out responses, but didn't post them because I was afraid of how people would react to my post. But, I don't know how much of that is actually because of personalities of the regulars or my own social "paranoia". I have really bad social anxiety, and because some of you ladies can be a little confrontational at times, I get nervous about posting.

    i know who you are, but i dont know that i ever knew your first name. i do know that your last name isnt Zane and you said people call you Mrs. Zane and you feel dumb correcting them haha.

  • I'll bite. I'm strictly a lurker now.

    I check the board pretty much everyday, just like when I was an avid poster. I don't post anymore after I got my BFP because of a few PMs I got telling me I was insensitive.

    So I'd rather just read all the drama than be part of it.

    Aw. I appreciate that you thought of me Smile

    Pregnancy is amazing. I never thought of myself as a mother, but as uncomfortable as I am, I love every second of it. Lil' man is measuring two weeks ahead, so that's been the only concern, so they may move up my due date

  • I mostly lurk after work and at night when no one is on. I usually just post during work hours. Sometimes I have things to add to the conversations, but most times I don't Stick out tongue

    I don't remember what went on, but I don't remember you ever being insensitive! They are concerned with him measuring ahead?  At Weston's 20 week ultrasound, he was measuring 2 weeks ahead and my stomach was measuring 2-3 weeks ahead the whole time.  At my 34 week ultrasound he was measuring 4 weeks ahead.  She was never concerned.  I was induced 3 weeks early only due to developing pre-e.  Do they think the original due date is wrong or something?
