Delurking 1: Because we don't always check our e-mail.
Hi. I lurk and post like once every two years or so, which is strange because I'm not usually lurky on sites, but I started reading this board when I had this soul-crushing job and didn't have much free time and I always think of it as "that board I read but don't have time to really participate in." Except that I have more time now so I need to get over that. That was too much of a tour of my brain, wasn't it?
Bio stuff: I live in Pittsburgh and I'm a geek. I love science fiction tv shows and genre movies and books and comics too. My current tv-watching obsession is Farscape. I code like a girl and have two cats and a spouse.
I read Boxed Set, Other Media, Procedurals, Minearverse, and Buffy/Angel. I on a random delurking helped to come up with the notion of the Jossverse thread, but don't watch Dollhouse so I don't read it.
I should delurk more often.
Hey! We Sara(h)s will not be discounted!
Damn right!
Welcome, all delurkers and those people who don’t post very often! It’s good to see your text.
My board name is sj, which is my first two initials and also something my family used to call me as a kid, so I will answer to it in person. I live in Massachusetts with my fiancée who I refer to here as TCG (which stands for teacup guy which he was named by Buffistas because he gave me a teacup on our second date). Besides teacups, I am also obsessed with tea and books.
I started lurking here sometime during Buffy S6 and delurked shortly after that, I think. I don’t remember exactly when I started posting, but it feels like I have been here forever and yet I still feel like a newbie sometimes. I post mostly in Bitches, but I read most of the other threads and will post there too. I can never keep up with Natter, otherwise I might post there more often.
Hi. I'm Victor Infante, but my board name is Victor Infante. The inflection is totally different. I'm not so much a lurker as I am perpetually distracted by real life. Tend to pop my head in the TV threads.
I was one of the people who first emigrated from Salon, and was even a Stompy at one point, which was a terrible, terrible mistake, ending in tragedy when fellow former Stompy JenGod and I were forced to jettison an entire portion of the Web site into space to save the rest. Oh, the threads that were lost ... the "Cryptozoology of 'Buffy'" thread, the "OH MY GOD WILLOW'S WEARING THAT!?!?" thread, the "Guess What's in NoiseDesign's Fridge?" thread ... Good times. Good times. Shame most have suffered a collective amnesia to assuage the pain. But who can blame them?
I live in New England, with my wife Lea, who rarely ever posts here as Thessaly. I write stuff. Sometimes people publish it. Or throw donuts at me. Whatever works.

Did any other classic Doctor Who fan's mind go to "Logopolis" with this?

No, your board name is victor infante. Which makes the difference in inflection much clearer, I think.
(tosses Victor donut. Even though I sort of believe he's the hot guy with the picture frame since we've never met f2f.)
Ohhh lots of lurkers de lurking cool!!
And y'all should totally post more, seriously it's fun!
I'm askye! I'm another who has been apart of the Buffistas since the Table Talk days. I used to be way more active, but I can't access the internet at work and so I don't post as much. Also I'm really far behind on a bunch of shows, like Supernatural. I live in the Big Bend area of Florida. I can be found in Bitches, Boxed Set, Comedy, Drama, fanfic and Great Write Way. I lurk way more than I post esp in the show threads because I'm so far behind on many shows. Like Supernatural.
By day I'm a mild mannered adminstrative assistant by night I'm... a mild mannered resident of Second Life. And soon I'll be learning to kick ass in real life (I'm starting kick boxing).
If anyone is in Second Life and want to look me up I'm Beatrix Noel.
I also enticed my sweetheart to join the board, he mostly lurks and is SLNRLBF. Which stands for Second Life Now Real Life Boyfriend. He's shy about posting but I tell him he should post more.
He'd never seen Buffy, Angel, or Firefly. So far I've introduced him to Buffy and Firefly. We're almost to the end of Season1 of Buffy so it's goign to be a long time before we get to Angel.

I was thinking Battalion in the "StormWatch" comic, but "Logopolis" is probably less obscure.
...
Oh, yeah. Nerd city.

Including this one.
I'm Victor Infante, but my board name is Victor Infante. The inflection is totally different.
And in other Nerd City news, I now think of Victor Infante as Zathras and wonder if he too is trained in crisis management.
