OT (slightly) - Comic Book Heros & Sidewalk Chalk

[goldust40]

It took me some time to come about posting. I viewed everyone being attacked all the time and was afraid to take that first step!

 

And now that you've crossed that threshold, there's no turning back.

Let's remember that a lot of people are new and haven't seen the same topic come up over and over...

Nobody in this thread is new.

 

And as has already been clarified...we were just joking around with each other.

 

You would not believe the number of people who come up to me at conventions and tell me they're "lurkers"

 

It takes a peculiar type of person to post regularly on a messageboard. That first post is a doozy sometimes for a lot of people who prefer to just watch.

 

 

 

I like to watch...

I posted this in another thread, but in a lot of ways posting in Comics General is like calling the Jim Rome show... It seems like a lot of fun from the outside, but it can be damn intimidating at first.

 

I do four shows a year here in town that have less than 1,000 attendees. I am now at 7 of those in a row where someone has come up to me, asked me if I was "lighthouse", then told me they have lurked on these boards for at least a year. When I sold a bunch of Mark Jewelers books in Forum Only, I had people come up to my booth at the next show specifically to buy MJ books from me. These were people who don't post here, and didn't buy off the threads, but saw the post and knew I would have the books at the next show...

 

We are being watched, I tell you... We are being watched...

 

So let's give them a good show...

[SolitaireOne]

Yeah, redundant yet still worth another looksie! Fabu-art!

 

Thought I caught a recent car ad w/ art like this (same guy?) for Volkswagen, maybe? You know like the you suddenly went into the street-art and them the car was zippin' about... right?

Should we start flashing the lurkers?

[ComicSupply]

Should we start flashing the lurkers?

 

Nah, we should encourage them to come forward and post.

[Deathlok]

Should we start flashing the lurkers?

 

Nah, we should encourage them to come forward and post. That will never work.

[ComicSupply]

Why not, this place seems to be far less aggressive than it used to be. Or perhaps I have just gotten used to the daily floggings and "treatments"

You obviously have been avoiding most of the recent posts in Comics General. Brutal, just brutal.

[AlexH]

Then we flash them.

Yeah but all that is just the past being rehashed to restore former glory.

 

Ok, heres the plan. We invite a new member and then they get to post count ohhhhh 20, we all flame em.

 

Does that work?

[Aces]

Should we start flashing the lurkers?

 

Nah, we should encourage them to come forward and post.

Wouldn't flashing encourage some of them?

[MyNameIsLegion]

"We are being watched, I tell you... We are being watched..."

 

 

 

Yup. whereas, at the show, your assistant is being watched.....

[mjacobs8]

Maybe instead of starting posts, I can just post graemlins and call people on their *spoon* all day long?

That would be great. Thanks!

 

Here's another thread on them from way back in February. (Link)

This place is cool!

[sterlingcomics]

tons of threads about these sidewalks...yet this is the first one I caught. Thanks for posting them anyway. I'm getting senile in my senior board years.

No problem!

 

I also see that there are many posts about them. However, this was the first I had seen them as well
