Yes, I am talking to you lurker. I have nothing against Lurking but the lifestyle of which seem antithetical to being aware of an internet drama site.
 
always a mobilefag, haven’t looked up how to embed yet, nothing meaningful to contribute… it’s better off this way. :)

I know it's a shitpost thread, but I lurked for about 8 years before making an account, and most of the reason was that I was afraid of being identified as an undesirable element by glowies years or decades into the future (after all, what OPSEC is better unplugging the computer and staying inside?) But now I think I worried needlessly, and, frankly, I just don't have the energy to worry like that anymore. It's the digital equivalent of letting yourself get fat as you get older.

If anyone wants to know, what got me into the farms was the Jake/Ali Rapp debacle, now visible only on the "Lolcows of History" board, and I don't think I've found a thread as interesting to me as Jake Rapp's since. Most Lolcows are a little bit too bizarre to be relatable to me, but I know a few people just like him. I originally found the farms from the CWCki, and would occasionally lurk the CWC board, but never really "stuck around" until that.

If only I'd signed up sooner! Then I could have a dark-colored join date like all the cool kids.
 
I lurked for a long time, because 4chan taught me to lurk before posting, and because I don't really research people or keep up with online drama outside of what this site shows me, or have anything to contribute to threads beyond hit or miss shitposts, or "I remember seeing such and such one time on such and such website" which isn't particularly valuable on a website that values evidence and hard truth seeking. I keep meaning to stop posting and go back to lurking, but the allure of shitposting is too strong.
 
I lurked for a year before finally posting that I wanted to write a literary work of some kind about the Translifeline debacle.

Half a decade later, obviously I'm not really interested in doing that anymore.

I don't know what got into me.
 
I spent my first year and a half here only reacting to comments. Why? It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. What I'm saying is I was shy and waited to remove all doubt.
