I lurked for about 5 minutes before making my first post. Some people seem to lurk a very long time before actually posting? What did you do?

I sat in my conversion van for several weeks before pouncing.

I lurked around school playgrounds for a long time before my first posting.

Seriesly though, I lurked just a little before posting. I had been a longtime WSI guy but was getting fed up with the way that was being run and was looking for something else. Soxtalk was a breath of fresh air.

Read the MLB Sox site from the sidelines for a few months before starting to post. Jumped into this site — or rather the SoxNet precursor — pretty quickly shortly after it came online since it was a much better fan board than what the MLB site had become.

I waited over a year until posting here. I had posted on WSI before, but when I made the switch to reading this board, I didn't sign up until some thread prompted me to.

 

Oh man, I just looked up my 1st ever post at WSI, and I was replying to some guy's trade idea of James Baldwin, Paul Konerko, and Sandy Alomar for Paul LoDuca. Yeah, that would have worked out well...

That was almost 6 years ago. I have no idea. I got fed up with the espn boards so I think I just made a straight switch since several of those guys were posting here at the time.

I was registering at all kinds of message boards without hesitation. This has been my one and only White Sox message board, though.

I registered at WSI and got banned after two posts a couple years after registering here.

I read Soxtalk through a neighbor's window for 6 hours before posting.

Well, I had to wait for them to fall asleep....

I did too! Except I read Soxtalk through SS2k5's window. I had to wait for him to stop posting and fall asleep.

 

 

I'm still waiting...

I started lurking around 2002. Signed up in 2004. Made about 5 posts under a different name. Forgot my password and lurked for another 3 years before I got this name.

I lurked for at least a few months before I registered. That was a long time ago so I don't really recall how long.

^^similar to what I did. I was aware of Soxtalk, came here to browse now and again, but just got sick of WSI after I got banned like the 3rd or 4th time over trivial s***.

I lurked for about a full year before registering for soxtalk.

I always go straight for the admin/mod forum because that is where all the real fun is. Everyone should get a chance to try it atleast once, its a riot.

Shhh... ixnay.

 

 

I never even knew about WSI; I found Soxtalk from a link on ESPN's Sox board.

I actually lurked for a couple years. Not like a creeper, but like the friendly neighbor you've never met and don't know is watching you.
