“Not dead yet!”

Lessee... I'm Barb and I lurked here for heavensonlyknowshowlong until I finally came out of the shadows a little over a year ago. Back in the day I used to also lurk and post infrequently at the original Bronze and Beta and a couple of other boards, as Renegade.

I currently live in Jacksonville, FL where the Hub has family (I'm originally from Miami) with my son, daughter, three dogs, and a cat who thinks he's the Boss of Us All. However, in a few months, we will become residents of Seattle so YAY!

I generally hang out anywhere that catches my interest, but mostly Bitches, Natter, GWW, Literary with occasional forays into Cable Drama (loves my Mad Men), Music, Procedurals, & Boxed Set.

Hello, my board name is Abby, and I'm an actual lurker, unlike all these posts before me!

Well, I have posted occasionally, but I'm shy and don't usually have much to say. I discovered the Buffy people on Table Talk, and have been hanging around ever since. I did meet Plei and Paul a number of years ago, so there is that.

I'm 40, single, live in Vancouver, Canada, and work for the federal government. I have a cat and a roommate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'd give you semi-lurker status, Abby! But yay for you!

I live in NYC for the next little bit, have been around Buffistas for around 10 years (which sounds crazy typed out like that), live with my cat, and mostly post in Natter and Non-Fiction TV, I guess.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Hello, all. I am a complete newcomer to posting at b.org. I used to lurk here a lot, when I was missing the Buffy-centric chat of halcyon days in other places, but this messageboard seemed very fast-paced (although awesome) and I was always too nervous to post. Recently, a friend reminded me about b.org, when I said I was missing online fandom discussion. This time, I plucked up the courage to post. I'm rather pleased I did. The people here are fab.

I live in London, UK, where I share a small, perpetually messy flat with The Girl, my extremely long-suffering partner. (I say she's the long-suffering one, but I think I put up exceptionally patiently with her mess.) We watch everything together, from Buffy back-episodes to House, but she doesn't admit to being a geek. I'm a former English teacher, now pursuing academic interests in sociology/social research (specifically, disability studies). I'm currently trying to fill that awkward post-M.A. year. Hence why I have time to post. Dissertation procrastination: it's the best.

I can mostly be found in Bitches, but I also pop into Comedy (for HIMYM), Procedurals (for House), Boxed Set, the Dollhouse thread and Natter (when the speed doesn't scare me off). And one or two others.

Should FCM and BINAO/DINAO go into our FAQ or the like?

They did have me rather confused at first. But the point about them being Out There is a good one (even if I always missed them. I always miss everything).

Good lord, it'll be 10 years come January, though I posted with a few of you elsewhere for maybe a couple years before that. Maybe.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hi, Abby! And yay for posting!

Trust my rage

This is fun! Even if Abby is our only real lurker, so far.

Well, I'm Stephanie and I've been around since March, 2004, I think. I just recently moved back to Colorado Springs (and updated my map entry) and I'm hoping to stay here for a while. I live with my husband, two kids, and two dogs.

I used to post more regularly, but kids and other life have gotten in the way. Still, I lurk a lot these days because buffistas are fun people. I post in the show threads, although I rarely watch the shows in real time, and occasionally in Bitches and Natter.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I think I can also claim semi-lurker status.

I'm Ouise, and I live in Halifax, Canada, where we have a nice little cluster of current and former Buffistas who get together regularly.

I've been around since Table Talk (starting sometime in 2001, I think). I know I met the localistas for the first time in May 2001.

I'm much shyer online than in person (hence the not posting very much.) I mostly hang out in Natter, Literary, Movies and Non-Fiction, with occasional forays to other threads.

Claim to fame: both my sisters are also Buffistas (RahRah and Helena Handbasket). I have a brother as well, who isn't a Buffista, but 3 out of 4 isn't bad.
