Brad Posted September 29, 2008 Group: Admin Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 97,043 Reputation: 10,833 Days Won: 469 Joined: 05/19/2000 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Lurker Alert!It appears that with the continued success of Bulls Football our community has been over-run with lurkers. You know the type. They're curious, but they're not completely sure they belong. They come here and read, read, read. Sometimes they think about what they read and comment to a spouse or buddy. But they never contribute to the community by voicing their opinions here. They just read, read, read, lurk, lurk, lurk. Once, every so often, we invite our lurkers to exit the shadows and join our community - no questions asked. No background checks, no questioning of your fanhood. We won't even require an immediate comment. We simply want you in our community and not out on the periphery feeling as though you might not fit in, or maybe don't belong. You do.So tonight (or sooner), why not step out from anonymity and join fellow bulls in the heartiest of all discussion forums - TheBullsPen.com. By registering today (it's free and quick) you will be immediately connected to thousands of other Bulls fans - some just like you, former lurkers. Our hands are extended. Please join us tonight. Introduce yourself if you'd like and/or tell us just how long you've been lurking. Don't miss your opportunity.We're here to help.Sincerely,Brad, aka BullieverDirector of Lurker Amnesty ProgramsAssociate Vice-Provost for Cross-Cultural Inclusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need others to see just how liberating becoming a member can be. I'm getting emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JulmisteForPrez Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I don't know, Brad...there seem to be plenty of members here that wish people like me were still "lurkers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my job to make sure we homogenize all types into our community, including those that have a fascination with 'spanking', whether it me at the hands of a purple dinosaur or a bearded old man. It takes a lot to make it work, but we're glad you joined us (latest poll indicates I am not alone, there was one other member that expressed his glee at your membership). Thanks for your testimony. I can almost feel the wave of lurkers buzzing the server with their new memberships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am off the crack and addicted the posting. I do not know nothing about any money laundering.<img src="http://www.superiorpics.com/hs/orlando_jones/main1.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JulmisteForPrez Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 ...those that have a fascination with 'spanking', whether it me at the hands of a purple dinosaur or a bearded old man. ;DYou know...I never really thought about the connection there between, "The Picture" and the purple guy in my signature.Interesting...I might have to go get psychoanalyzed now. My dad was prolific with the belt back in the day.And by the way, I'm pretty sure that's a purple hippo, and not a dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it shows that I don't spend enough time on my analysis. I was ready to give you the benefit of the doubt that Barney somehow had some deviant effect on you...but it's purple hippos and red-bearded Glazers. there's got to be something there. Hmmm.... We may need to re-do that poll now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
