i have two friends who are lurkers, cause they feel "intimidated".......i don't understand considering how many nice, polite young chaps and chappettes there are round these virtual parts always critiquing people in the nicest ways.......

i use the cancel button nearly as much as broadcast. which is a good thing really.
- blackspade0
but really.. "intimidated" by a chat board ?
i cant understand that
do they think people are going to single them out and laugh at their work ?

blackspade - not sure, but i definately tease 'em bout it, cause once your in you realize this place is all what you make it.....serious critiques one day.........slag, and fun the next

no offense to your friendsies, but if they feel intimidated by a chat board its probably best they don't post.

you're preaching to the choir at this point

"When a lurker speaks up for the first time, this is called `delurking'.".....
Lurker:
n. One of the `silent majority' in a electronic forum;
one who posts occasionally or not at all but is known to read the
group's postings regularly. This term is not pejorative and indeed
is casually used reflexively: "Oh, I'm just lurking." Often used in
`the lurkers', the hypothetical audience for the group's
flamage-emitting regulars. When a lurker speaks up for the first time, this is called `delurking'.

Is it a bit like being a Vulcan?

I wanted to lurk in this thread but I couldn't control myself.
But judging by the amount of crap I've read in PVN so far it would be a good idea for some to sometimes not type.
At all!
You know who you are...
