Dudes, I was demonstrating what a lurker could do!
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
Is there no opposing view here? Isn't anyone going to insist that lurkers stay all lurky and stuff.
Nah. I hope it works to have a delurking thread. It can be difficult to jump into ongoing conversations where everyone seems to know each other. Not that it stopped me.
Can we discuss the thread title since we are short on opposing views?

Laura is a rabble-rouser, pass it on!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I was going to argue against a thread that's only active for one month out of the year, but then I remembered that we also have the Goodbye and Good Riddance thread.
(Maybe the Goodbye and Good Riddance thread can be repurposed each year into the Hello and How Are You thread.)

Delurking I: Does not rhyme with blinvisible
Looks like Goodbye and Good Riddance may make it open all year due to epic slacking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What Laura said. Let's not cross the two.

...you mean the one that is STILL GOING, since it's September and some people still haven't gotten/sent their Secret Santa gifts? Heh. (Thankfully I am not among that number, so I don't actually care, I just find it a little eye-rollingly amusing)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Loving this idea! I am sure we have a lot of fabulous lurkers, and some of them want to de-lurk but don't quite know when or how. This new thread could be a nice place to dip a toe in.
I support the lurkers although not in email.
