Anyway, I was a lurker on here for a couple of months before ever making a post.  At the time, I was moderating a major horror movie board, but the maturity level of said board had recently decreased expontentially so I started posting on here.

And now, nearly 2000 posts later, I'm addicted.

I never lurk.
Never have, never will.
I remember when I first found this forum years ago.
The water was cold but I didn't care...I jumped right in.
I believe I posted the very first day I found this website.

ah the old origin stories...

I looked around the site for a while before I even found the message board, and when I found it, I think I had a look around the forum for a day or two, but then found a topic I wanted to contribute to: Dean's First Post: Most Outrageous Type of Food You've Snuck Into a Theater


It's the first and only forum I've ever posted on, funnily enough.


But what worries me is that when I did a search on my name just then, I found out that I'm not the original, but the remake/sequel with another Dean [note the capital letter] who was posting a year or so before me [but only three, making me by far the longer serving of the franchise]

Damn, I hate being so un-original.  Oh well...

oh and 64 guests logged in at this moment of pain and suffering for me.  Great...

[though I must say I've noticed a couple vague new 'faces' popping around everynow and then.  Cool...]

I didn't lurk. The first time I came across this board I knew this was the place for me. Some of you guys on here are funny as hell, and I get a real kick out of some of the posts on here. These lurkers should jump right in and join the fun.

I'm lurking right now!

Oops, no, now I'm posting...

I lurked for a while.  I actually was here just for the reviews for the first year or so before I even looked at the forum.

Sure you all say your here now, but how do we really know we are here. I mean, I'm not even sure that I'm here right now, so how can you be so sure you are here now. How do we know we are really here. Don't worry people Dean now has GIGLI and he is from Australia. I just wanted to clarify everything.

Howdy!

I tend to lurk more cuz everyone here seems to know each other so well, at times it seems intimidating trying to squeeze in.

That and I often don't know what to say.

Yeah man, where is here anyway man... I'm so tripping out right now :-P

That whole Dean thing you mentioned sounds like kind of like a threat; 'watch out he's from Australia and he's got a copy of GIGLI, RUN!!'

Those lurkers should be shaking in their boots now.  It's like the ultimate b-movie test: survive this hazing and you can go from 'guest' to 'user-with-a-name'  Of course the board will be a bit stale at first as everyone still has to recover their basic motor functions again, but that's cool, we have the technology; we'll rebuild them, we can make them stronger...

bah, squeeze away... new blood is always helpful, makes us more dangerous [I mean, 'friendly']

I ramble alot, so I guess you could say I have nothing to say half the time anyway.  But good to see someone stepping up and announcing their lurking presence.  Good for you!

That doesn't stop the rest of us.

I never heard of this GIGI flic till you guys were talking about it. I had to see what the big deal was. I feel really dirty for some reason now, and the need to shave my whole body with a lawnmower blade, and mace.... That had to be the s**ttiest movie ever, and I hold you guys responsible for my mental frailty at the moment... :)

I had trouble logging in from work, so I showed up as a guest.   That skewed the values some.

Don't let that bother you. We all had to start somewhere because we certainly didn't know each other before hand.

Ulthar had a better answer to that than I could come up with.
