how many posts before you're "established"

it seems like everyone's done over 500... and i feel silly with my single digit posting (and will feel less silly w/ double digit).

i mean, do you just jump right in or lurk or what?? it's sort of like being at a party where everyone knows eachother really well...

does this sound utterly ridiculous?

Celestrina replied: Don't worry, even though I don't know what being in "the club" means everyone here is very friendly.

mammag replied: Just jump right in. I don't think there is necessarily a "club". At certain times certain people with being posting more and at other times others will. The people who have been around longer just naturally "know" each other more. The only way for people to get to "know" you is by posting more often so we get more of your story. Pics help because we can put a face with the name.

I'm not sure if I'm established or not. I just kind of post and hope some people know who I am. Like Celestrina said, we are a friendly group and you don't have to worry about posting.

Josie83 replied: I wouldn't worry about it! Everyone's really friendly and like Jeanie said, the more you post the quicker you'll get to know everyone. just jump in!

PS _ Jeanie, of COURSE you're "established!" You're very easy to get along with and have been since you joined xx

PascosGirl replied: I have been here for less than a week and I just jumped right in. I am kind of that way at parties as well, I will talk to anyone.

I don't really see in cliques here. Everyone seems to be pretty nice so far which is good. I like it here and plan on posting a lot more.

moped replied: Yep, just post away!!!!!!!!!!!!

mckayleesmom replied: I would say just jump right in and post post post. Don't be shy...we don't bite...all the time anyways. . I think the people that don't end up staying are the ones that don't just jump right in and post. I think they feel left out. But we never leave anyone out...they just didn't post. Your going to love it here and nobody ever judges anyone on how long they have been here. This is a smaller group of people for an internet board..so you will catch on to who everyone is and what their story is soon enough. If you feel left out of a topic because you don't understand what the person is talking about (maybe an update post or something about their life) you can always click on that persons name and read their past posts or pm someone and ask them what its about.

mckayleesmom replied: Also..you came at a great time because there are a ton of other newbies as well. I remember when I joined 2 years ago that we got a newbie every now and then,,,but now we get them all the time,,,so you are not alone.

MommyToAshley replied: Jump right on in! We're glad you found us here, we love meeting and making new friends.

A&A'smommy replied: lol no but also I don't think its the number of posts I think its probably how "outgoing" you are in your posts. Get to posting lol

momma2emily replied: LOL i was just wondering this myself, since i just joined today lol, but im a just pop in and start posting away person to, so hopefully i will become established quickly to lol!

mommy2owen replied: It's been 2 months today that i started posting here, and I just hit 400 yesterday!

Just jump in and post away, that's what I did!

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I still feel new and I have over 200

But I am really slow to a lot of the standards

0-10andbackagain replied: Im also semi-new! Ive just been posting and posting.

maraelise replied: it's funny, but i sort of had this "one post a day" mentality-- i don't know why... like there was some quota or something.

but clearly, you can just hop around and post away. you girls (i'm sure there's SOME guys right?) are all really friendly!

sooo... great! i'll be posting and don't worry-- i can blab on as much as the next one. (now that i know i can).

texasp3 replied: LOL... blab away! I'm actually fairly new here... I joined and then got distracted by some major home front stuff, and didn't REALLY start posting regularly until January. I still sort of fade in and out. Some days I'm a posting fool, and other times I'll go for more than a week without being around. And yes, there are a whole bunch of new people right now and even people like me who might have a bunch of posts but who still feel "new" to the community.

Daisyx3 replied: I'm still in single digits. I started a couple days ago. It will probably take me a while to get to 3digits. I dont have alot of time to post. I feel everyoen is friendly and helpful. The board is harder than I'm used to. The old board I came from was VERY easy to manuver around.

iluvmysweetiepies replied: I have about 700 but I still feel kind of new Just keep posting!
