KristineIN Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ok, I was just curious to see how many people are registered, but have never posted, (if you go to members and click posts, it takes you from most to least) you can go to the last page to see where the people with 0 posts are. From page 28-50 are members that have two or less posts! :eek: So I'm curious if anyone is lurking and not posting? Kristine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb in NJ Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I have been on the boards for many many many years - 5 or 6? I haven't been posting lately - but I do read often. For these new boards this will be my second post. So, I guess that makes me a semi-luker? Deb in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in OK Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I've always lurked more than I've posted on the WTM boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm not purposely NOT posting. I am just posting rarely and not regularly. I'll have to post this to see what my total is up to.:) Oh, I have 7. I'm in the big leagues. I guess I should have voted for the first option.

Qs3 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 But, I am determined to post more often. I've lurked (and learned) for almost a year. Now that I'm more comfortable with what we're doing, I'm more comfortable posting... if that makes any sense. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I always seem to post in spurts then putter out and start back up again. The new board seems to coincide with one of my spurts. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArwenA Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm a poster, I want to share my opinion.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada_Mom Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I only found the message boards a few weeks before the format change. I've learned TONS in that time!! I try to post when I have something intelligent (okay, I'll settle for quasi-intelligent) to add.... which I guess hasn't been that often. :o I do have a lot of questions I'd like answered though... :D My dc's are still little so I don't have much to add to a lot of the posts.

Omma Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 With the old format, I only lurked. This is my second post. The first one was to do a swap! Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineIN Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 I lurk way more than I post, but I have posted a few times :) Jean, where are you in Indiana? I am in the Lafayette area. Kristine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensguys Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have been lurking lately and not posting as much. Before the boards changed I was not even lurking for quite awhile. The only reason I came back was to start my planning for next year. I'm happy with what we've been doing this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have always lurked more than posted. How much I post always depends on how much time I have on a given day and on my interest in the topic. This is still true. But I think I sometimes "miss" threads in the new format.

Blue Hen Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I read far more posts then I respond to. Often times I have something to say but if the idea has already been stated then I stay quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in TN Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I definitely lurk more than I post. Sometimes I just can't find anything to add to what has already been said, so I tend to say nothing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnolia Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Since I still consider myself new to hs (only third year), I don't post often. Only when I feel confident and experienced enough to add my two cents. I have learned so much from the old boards. Now, I lurk/post even less with the new format. It is hard to find the time to keep up with all the posts, let alone post too. It was much easier on the old boards, including saving individual posts. The "friendly, in your living room, like you know everyone" feeling has disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon H in IL Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm not posting nearly as much, probably due to the format change. But I read/lurk a lot. If I think I have something intelligent to add, I will. But either I'm not so intelligent anymore, or I'm missing the opportunities that are here!

MicheleinMN Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm mostly lurking, but am posting every now and then. It's not that I *won't* post here, but I really miss the old boards. It's much harder for me to scan and see what I'm interested in reading here. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenJac1501 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Im a newbie so I dont have many posts but I do post :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I mostly just read but I do post a little. My kids are still young so I usually don't have much to say. I'll probably post more once they are school age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeJM Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I just don't have that kind of time. But I wish I did! I can't even lurk as much as I'd like, never mind post. You know, recently I have found myself more in need of help than able to help others. I'm so thankful for the wisdom here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily in FL Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I love to read the boards, but often don't feel like I have anything to contribute. I will post if I think I have something new or different to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Bear Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I used to post a lot more than I have been lately. Still lurking, but even that seems to have thinned out. At the rate I'm going I may never acheive Nurse Bee!:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneRoomHomeSchool Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 My dc's are still little so I don't have much to add to a lot of the posts. Same here. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenschooler Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm sorta lurking! Some people have their controls set to 'invisible', too, and you can only tell they're on when they're posting. Which makes them pretty visible! I'm keeping mine set to 'visible' so I don't cheat and get on here too much. It would be too easy to just sit and read all day, but I'd be embarrassed to have my name up there as online for hours. So I have to stay visible for my own accountability.

Greta Lea Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Me too...I'm not adjusting well to these new boards:( Greta Lea:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori C- Texas Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I tend to only post Wordless Wednesdays and Weekly Reports. I am more of a lurker. I tend to read everyone else's posts then if I can't find an answer to my question I will post. I have learned so much just by lurking!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie in AR Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If you're lurking and not posting, and you living in Arkansas, would you please post on the Arkansas thread on the networking board? Here's the link: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1747 Pretty please?? I would love to know if there are others in AR who come to these boards frequently. Thanks!!

Susan in MO Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 and I rarely have questions these days because we have been homeschooling for such a long time. I love coming to the message boards for three reasons. 1. To keep up on the latest materials. I have found the best materials through recommendations that posters have given. 2. For inspiration. I can't tell you how many times I have used an idea as a springboard to other ideas. 2. I like to know that I am not alone. I feel supported by reading and seeing that others are doing. I do enjoy helping others and will post if I think I can be of some value. I only wish that in real life I could learn to keep my mouth shut and learn say only supportive and inspirational things. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in WA Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 shared on this board. I too only post when I feel I have something of value to add. The ideas from the board have worked for us so often. I really like being able to see what is new and great. I think everyone is willing to help in what ever area they can. I love that about this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umarider Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I used to lurk, but with the format change I've been trying to post more. I always get a funny, awkward feeling when posting, like I'm the new kid in a school where EVERYBODY has known each other for years, and not only did I have the gall to say something, but my style is just totally not "it". I figure I'll keep working at it as interesting things come. Either I'll get the hang of it, or someone will tell me to bug off.:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinTea Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I lurk more than I post. I'm afraid if I ask a question it will be one that has been asked before. I love the information that I can get from here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robyn Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I lurk much more than I post. I have found these forums to be an invaluable resource to me, esp in curriculum choices. I post when I can and when I feel I have something to add. I probably look like I am online much more than I really am. I tend to walk away from the computer frequently to chase my little one around and just leave the page up that I was reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupajoe Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I would love to become a regular poster...I have many questions, and probably information to share as well. Truth be told, it is somewhat intimidating. I sure would love to become a larvae! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
