Lurkers, the hidden dangers saviors of the internet!
I guess I know what you mean...more or less lurked here since mid '08, much more heavily late '09...though that was just around currently airing shows. People really said the most amazing or strangest things. Well they still do...

@Coldlight...I consider you a semi-regular of the sort. Like RWBladewing mentioned, I do remember you defending Sayaka on a few posts in said thread... nothing too detailed since I only browsed through it. Actually I think you're the biggest Sayaka fan here that I somewhat know of...well Triple_R may count too, but he loves all of the Madoka cast.

@Chaos you know...I've heard of many things about the nanoha subforum from some friends that used to lurk there.
I usually ignored it....I guess I'm thankful I did that, otherwise I would probably view you in a more ridiculous way then I already do.

Based on the article, the day when i see SaintessHearts actually burns a venue seems closer than what I initially predicted...
On the other side... Is it true?? Is fujoshi spending power greater than the normal otaku??

Yeah I could have worded that better. Funny thing is, I was actually questioning whether or not I should have rephrased that sentence. A lesson for everyone here, trust your instincts.

Oh that they most certainly do, especially in this thread.

....Okay, 6 years then.

But I don't recall doing anything outstanding at that time... Unless it's... The Paranoia story ?

You mean like how I was a 'Spartan' fighting against the 'Persians' ?

(Don't judge us, the movie 300 was popular at that time....>.>)

A-ha! So you were one of the two invisible members in this thread last night (well, time is relative so... anyway ).

Yeah, I did expect to see more MadoHomu shippers around. Nice to meet you.

Semi-regular, huh. Seems about right. Hmm, if you and RWBladewing were referring to the Saimoe 2011 thread, then yeah, me and my Sayaka Bro Triple_R had our share of battles in there against mixed groups of "temporary" and "permanent" haters alike. Though we were always outnumbered, I also found more allies than I expected in there.

As for my own lurking history... Although it was mostly in the Saimoe threads in the General Anime forum - I had been lurking AnimeSuki since 2007 before I finally decided to surface in 2010. I recognize many of the older regulars in there, though they most probably don't know me.

Since joining though, I have been quietly "observing" the amusing "family" interactions between certain members here in the General Chat forum. Yes, you people know who you are.

Maybe it was that thread. I had thought it was the choice awards thread because there was an argument there about Sayaka's qualifications for "best female supporting character", but I DO lurk in the Saimoe threads very frequently too because I find how seriously people take it really entertaining. ...Not that I'm one to talk since I myself "ragequit" a couple of those tourneys a few years back. I know what it's like to have a huge hate base for your favorite character though, mine was nominated for "worst character" in the '09 awards. If I actually gave a damn about people on the internet's opinions at that point, that may have turned into a real battle as well.

GAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[Ridwan]

You should've added "posterial ambush", even though that one wasn't in the canon....

Can I bother you for a drink as I enjoy the entertainment from afar as well?

[Sumeragi]

Beer, vodka, gin, sake..... Take your pick.

[Magin]

But what about the rum?

[Sumeragi]

*Throws a bottle of rum at Magin*

Here you go.

[Soverence]

you really shouldn't be throwing bottles around, its dangerous you know

I also don't get what the big deal with alcohol is anyway, everyone seem to love to drink it, it just seems silly to me.

[Magin]

Um... well, for starters, it's one of the biggest things media tends to promote

That, and half the time it's used as the get out of jail free card when you're acting like an idiot

While the discussions still loosely based on lurkers and what not I'm gonna hop in. I'm not really a lurker though, just a minimalist when it comes to posting, since I'm deeply intimidated by large groups of people (even online). But lately I've been making an effort in posting in the general threads and what not. I've been here for a bit and I wanted to be more sociable.
I've taken my first step into unfamiliar territory... ahhhh it feels weird!
