Lurk or twerk ?

I googled atheist forum in hopes of finding an active one for some discussion, found this one and joined and did my intro. Haven't looked back and don't plan on heading anywhere else. Smile

Pretty much this, though I did um and ah about joining as the size intimidated me slightly. But I joined nevertheless and most of you seem to like me, so I guess I made the right choice ^_^

I joined immediately, but poked around for about a month before actively participating.

I lurked for about a year before jumping in. I posted an intro initially but then nothing else until af.com died. I always came here to read things though, so even though I wasn't around in the 'early' days I still sort of was.

I joined, made an intro thread, then didn't post again for six months or so, but I was in the shadows!

Same here - registered, made an intro but mostly lurked for the first 8-9 months here.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
