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?

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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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:

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.
