Fun! I'm looking forward to this.
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

We could make it an annual event! The once a year Delurkathon!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need one more official second to open Lightbulbs.

I have a question--is the Cheesebutt document finished? Can we put it up somewhere? If so, Jon, can you make it pretty?

Sorry, I got distracted by TAR.

Title Delurking 1 -- Because we don't always check our e-mail.
Slug Stop by and say hello--lurkers and prolific posters alike. Tell us something about yourself, and take a moment to update your location in your profile.
Description: Our annual delurking and positioning thread, to be opened each October 1 and closed each October 31, where everyone is encouraged to stop by, lurkers and regular posters alike, and say a little bit about themselves so we can learn about the people we don't post with, or the people who read but don't post. Also, people are encouraged in that month to enter or update the location field in their profile, with the note that they can be as vague as their country or as specific as their street address, with the options in between of state, province, zip code, city, and the like--whatever feels comfortable
