Do You Feel Like A Part Of The Forum Yet?

Lucywu2012

What I mean by that is do you feel most people around the forums who use it on a daily/weekly basis recognize your username, Avatar posts and have generally have a personality pegged to your online identity? If you don't feel this way, are you bothered by this? Or do you generally not have any interest/care about people giving your posts more thought/attention than just a first time poster/unknown poster?

For me I feel I've been here for a while and built up a large enough post count full of unforgettable humour and amazing advice (ok I'm stretching that part quite a lot :P), and I feel I've gotten to know quite a few individuals on here where I'd be a lil sad when/if (I'll probably be posting here for another 50 years) I stop posting. I guess you can call me sad, but I enjoy having an online identity in this forum, and I also appreciate the characters and great people who make this site work.

You're only part of a forum like this when someone tells you

"You ALWAYS do ****** " or suchlike.....

This is why lonely people should have their internet access restricted to 7am-7pm.

Lucywu is nothing more than a spam moron trying to get post count credo to post links

However did you find out she'd posted on another forum?

puddy

oh, how odd

well to answer the question in any case, i have been a member for ages and often join in debate but not in a chit chatty way and i never get in arguments with people so i doubt people remember me

one thing is for sure, you can guarantee that any response i make to a thread will be its death. you watch this one, no one will respond after me.

clutton_2

oh yes they will !!

Don't be so harsh DVS - perhaps she is gathering information for a *very* worthwhile dissertation - BA(no Hons) Meeja Studies combined with Forum Psychology?

Not just the one:

http://www.socialanxietysupport.com/forum/f24/do-you-feel-like-a-part-of-the-forum-yet-95836/

http://lumberjocks.com/topics/19087

http://www.instructables.com/community/Do-You-Feel-Like-A-Part-Of-The-Forum-Yet/

Clearly a girl with wide ranging hobbies

I have to own up to frequenting instructables.com from time to time
(usually in the wee small hours and never the forum) . You too can make one of these or one of these or this

Looking at her posting times, between 3am and 10am, I suspect she is in china...not much use for FSA protection...

How did her Avon rep deliver ?
