I wasn’t quite ready for message board life when I first arrived....:insane:

I'm surprised you even know what the internet is.

Well, to the original question from Janet, back when I joined the boards, they (strongly) felt like a clique between dealers and those who know each other in person. Today it's spread more between those friendships and those who are more active on the boards. Just like any community, really... If people don't know you and you don't know them, you probably won't interact as much and the interactions be a little more awkward when they do happen. There are a lot of people here... Many strong personalities and the pandemic brought a lot of new blood to the hobby.

I love the boards. They're a fantastic resource for knowledge and it is entertaining to read - but I don't contribute a lot because I can't get to the boards every day and things have generally moved on by the time I get there. Every time I post on a topic that was done a day ago, it feels weeeeird. (This one is borderline).

Final note is that this is also enhanced a tiny bit by a missing post history (forum upgrades and shifts etc). I'd love to go back and update threads on enduring topics, or add my kudos thread to my signature... But I can't find anything I've posted before 2020.

@ttfitz just saw you joined 3 days after me 

It's been a while, but I believe I lurked for quite a while before I posted. I think you were pretty well established by the time I started participating. Another one like that is @CAHokie who joined a couple weeks after me, but I think had been posting for some time before.

I think I got more engagement from people because they thought I was a woman

Technically you've been here longer as he's had at least 1-2 FDQ's that lasted at least 1-2 days each.

I had a picture of your avatar taped to my bedroom ceiling for three years before I found out. :frown:

When I left here for a while I totally forgot to make an announcement.
