How long did you lurk on NBC before posting?

I was thinking about this the other day. I probably lurked for about six months before I introduced myself.

Re: How long did you lurk on NBC before posting?

  • Not too long, I don't think.  Maybe a month or two? I mean, I didn't post regularly, but I did here and there.  I think I was posting regularly by 6 months.

  • Around two years.  It's that eternal shyness.

  • I never really introduced myself... I just started posting. I guess I forced my way in? I actually had only been on the military newly wed message board before this one, and only found out about NBC this year...

    I did this too. ^^^

    I had looked at the site in general prior to joining, but I joined with the intention of posting my anxiety freak out moment in the hopes that someone would be like 'girl, stfu' :)
  • I don't think I lurked too much before doing an intro. I wasn't shy and just kind of jumped right in. ;)

    That's so funny to me because it's usually the other way around :)

  • It was so long ago that i don't even remember.  I was a regular on the Decorating and Renovating Board and when I got tired of that board I just migrated over here.

  • I think my extended lurking had more to do with laziness than shyness. LOL. 

    Once I'd read a few of the book recommendations here and loved them, I made myself right at home.

    Me too. I didn't even introduce myself, just jumped right in and friend requested people on goodreads while I was at it. *shrug*

    Yes, I have issues :) I guess it is because I really don't care what people think about me in person.

  • A day and a half?  I'm not good at listening without voicing my opinion!  ;)

    I frequented International Nesties and Travel, so when I got back into reading regularly, I started dropping by. I probably posted as soon as there was something I wanted to comment on.

  • About a month. Last week, @elistar found my very first post under my old nest name. It was a bit mortifying.

  • No idea. I don't believe in doing intro posts so I just started posting one day.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

  • I can't remember if I did an intro or not. I lurked for quite a while, maybe 3 - 6 months.
