I have a few friends who enjoy reading the posts in bubhub but they haven't signed up and so don't join in the discussions. So my message is for you freinds and any other lurkers- c'mon girls it's much more fun to have a say and contribute. ;)

hey funfarrell, we actually had something similiar to this before, and it was because of it that we met the lovely Puk!!!
So good idea, maybe it will bring a few more lurkers out of the woodwork:D ;)

I'm a reformed lurker, I lurked for a good 2 months before finally plucking up the courage to post and now I'm a senior member (well just).

So come on out, its much more fun when you start posting!:p

Guys - I don't know if you realise just how many lurkers there are out there! I have a friend who discusses the goings on from the forum with me as if she is "one of us" and her husband tells me things form the forum too - but they never join. I say - don't know what you are missing out on people!! But be warned - it is addictive!:p

Welcome all lurkers. I was one for ages, before I bit the bullet and posted. I felt all blushy and nervous the first time, but I'm used to it now. But draught is right, once you start, it is very hard to stop.....

Puk

I'm turning off my computer for a while due to a thunderstorm, hope i don't miss much! :D I'll be back as soon as it's passed, come on lurkers where are you??

Puk
06-01-2006, 22:56
Well i did say i didn't want to miss anything but you didn't all have to just stop talking because of it! :p
Great storm! I'm bored, who's going to talk to me? :)

Puk
06-01-2006, 23:08
That's no good! Hope it works out for you! Are you in the TTC threads?

Hi there

This lurker listened! You see I was scared that would become addicted to this...no longer log on to ebay as that is addictive :eek: ...and that my little man would end up having to cook his own meals, do the washing etc etc, guess I will just have to restrict myself! Better go study all the abbreviations....

Welcome, welcome, welcome!!
Hmmmm- many of us do have children who are completely self sufficient as a result of our addictions - others have got smart and bought laptops and gone wireless so they can be sitting in the middle of child chaos but not missing anything. I say do whatever you need to do in order to feed the addiction (and your children!)

Seriously - post away and enjoy!

LOL Theresa mine must be one of the self sufficient ones.
He's cooking himself breakfast as we speak.:p

cosmic
07-01-2006, 09:27
oh too true DM we don't like those nasty stalkers! :p

WELCOME Addictedtobabe.. glad to meet you and no doubt you'll be registering on 1000posts.com before you know it. :D

morning ladies! im supposed to be packing, cleaning etc, but i just wanted to welcome addictedtobabe!!! hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Come on other lurkers, jump in! its kind of weird to think about you all sitting out there, silently reading our conversations........ mm, lurkers and stalkers, is there much of a difference?? hehe;) :p

lol E, i hope O is cooking you some breakfast as well!!!:D

Puk
07-01-2006, 10:37
Can he cook me some breakfast? I'm hungry! :D

Welcome Addictedtobabe!! We have you now, there's no turning back! Mwahahahaha!

Welcome Additicedtobabe. You'll never regreat your decision. Soon your child will be climbing into the cupboard and getting their own morning tea. (Harry stay out of there!!!!!!!!!!!!!) hehehehe

I know so lurkers as well, so come on out and join us, believe me it's better posting and contributing than just sitting there talking to the computer screen or saying I should write........

Welcome Karen and addictedtobabe!

I feel that it is my duty to warn you - once you register, that's it! You become addicted to bubhub!!!

I wonder if there is actually a way to see how many lurkers are on? Does any one know?

draught
07-01-2006, 13:22
If you look at the bottom of the main page it tells you who is on line - the number of members and the number of guests (aka lurkers). Sometimes there are 60 guests:eek:

Jaileth
07-01-2006, 13:24
Thanks draught - knew some one would know :)

Puk
07-01-2006, 13:28
There are currently 31 guests online! You know who you are. Come out and play!! :D

We have to try the most active users thing again! With over 4000 registered i can't believe that the most at one time has been only 187 or something like that! We can do better than that!

Jaileth
07-01-2006, 13:31
I just looked and it said 55 guests on line! :eek: Come out and play, all! We don't bite.....much - although some of us do bark pretty loud!

Can't believe how many people are registered either! And what happened to us trying to beat the record? I thought that was meant to happen recently?

Puk
07-01-2006, 14:12
I think too many people were on holidays and such! Maybe when we're all back in the real world we can try again!
