Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
Huh. Plei's only been around a year longer than me? I always thought she went all the way back to TT or summat.
Yeah, the Mac anticipation all year was wonderful, and such a joyous thing when both msbelle and Mac arrived back home. And can I say, with some of the news coming out of the Horn of Africa right now, it sounds like Mac got out of there just in time. I only wish more kids could get out of there, ASAP.

I'm trying to think of the people who delurked at WX. It was such a different environment with most people becoming linked in your mind with their icon. (I still think of Katie M. toasting with her champagne glass.)
SA and bon and Herself and Fay are all people I associate with WX delurking. I remember bon revealing a picture of her face one bit at a time. I remember the first picture Ple posted was a high school picture of herself.
I lurked at TT, but I didn't delurk until WX.
It cannot be stated enough how happy I am for the various new Buffista parents and parents to be. The thought of them brings me great joy. Mac and Matilda, for various reasons, bring me an extra dose of it.

Second or third. The first one was me and one of the cats (Ohm).
amych is also a WX alum.
I am also a WX alum.
I'm a WX alum (sometime in the Spring of '02). I thought Plei was a way-old-timer.
How did people find us at WX anyway? Did we leave a trail of crumbs from TT or did we just come up on Buffy searches?
I mentioned to Jilli (who I knew only casually at the time) on learning that she liked Buffy that I missed reading the Buffy stuff at Salon, now that it had gone pay, and she told me where to find you.
I used to lurk at The Bronze, but was too freaked out to ever delurk there. One day someone mentioned a couple other boards they frequented (I think it was Allyson), and I went looking for them. I lurked here for a while and really liked the community, so I delurked.

I found the Buffistas because of cross-over Bronzers. I knew about it from Allyson and Kristen (and they may well rue the day...) but do you remember Julie? She only posted a little (and maybe not always under the name 'Julie'), but she lurked a lot. When Julie lurked, she used to link me to shrift's posts, and other funnies. The Buffistas are a sticky group, no matter the URL, and I got stuck.
I lurked for a long time first though, because fallout from Tara's death, and from over-exuberant 'attempted-sex' Spuffies, at my old haunts, had left me starving for good Buffy conversation. The broader fandom was a particularly ugly place, during BtVS Season 6. The Buffistas were foamy.
