Just Another Day

PSA of the Week:

Lurkers..You know who you are on community boards. You join, post a couple times (maybe) and then start lurking. You read our posts, know our joys, our sorrows, our inner most thoughts and never respond. You're the peeping toms of the internet and you suck.

So, if you've joined a community board (private or not) remember this:

1. You don't have to respond to each and every post there is. Respond when you can or what you can. Remember that you joined for a reason (hopefully) besides lurking.
2. Create a post every once & awhile-Be a member of the group.
3. We all go through periods of not having anything to share but it is still important to maintain your friendships online just as you do in real life. Let them know you're in a funk or working 2 jobs or you're running out of time during your day to post but that you're there and want to be a member.
4. If you just can't do any of this then please please please leave.

Thank you.
