Seeing LE picked as the W of the Day, I'm reminded of the nonposters who have been here almost all the way back to the beginning of the board (and I THINK a few may have even been on the ol' ezboard) but for some reason have never, ever, even ONCE made any noise here. So for no good reason at all except my own, it's time to out them one more time!
C'mon, I got Pizza Pasta to post and now we can't stop him! Be like Pizza Pasta!!

You know, I went back and checked...I think I never sent him one. I must have used all my energy on Pizza Pasta. I notice he hasn't been on today so this entire thread is for naught UNLESS one of the other people on the list decides to chime in - I see eight of them have been on today and somehow not fallen for my trolling AGAIN, so I guess we're all stuck reading another fifteen posts from redsoxnation or Big Bad or something like that. I KNOW what THEY'RE gonna say. I have NO IDEA what, say, Drum God thinks - well, except his avatar is pretty cool and he HAS placed his pin on The W...orld ...wow, hey I'm a stalker now!
Another story: the GREATEST gift I got on my birthday this year* was a private message from deezNuts - at the time, HE was a nonposter as well. Totally shocked the hell out of me. Totally ruled. And the STYLE....dig it. The subject was "Happy birthday" and the text was COMPLETELY BLANK. I hit the ceiling AND the floor.
Two weeks later he made his first post, and he's now got THREE under his belt. I couldn't be more proud.
You have no idea the chill that went up my spine that first time I saw I had a PM from CRZ (entitled "Mute" I believe). I thought for sure he was going to ban me for non-posting, but he turned out to be pretty cool about it (he even hunted down my personal website and read it beforehand!).
And I recall that first thread fondly...someone claimed that Yorick Brown DIED in Y:The Last Man! I was positively flabbergasted!
So, lurkers and newbies alike, learn from the lesson of the Pizza Pasta: you, too, can overcome your posting fear and become a valued, semi-poster some day.

Looking through that list, I noticed that people who do not post are allowed to rate people.
Am I the only one who thinks this is wrong? Why should you be allowed to rate/judge people when you yourself don't say anything and contribute to the community?
That, and NormalChick has some decent poetry and fanfiction on her site. She seems to have a 'thing' for Bischoff and Stephanie.

Well, you don't need to be a good poster to tell when someone's a bad poster. In a way I think that's actually better, in that there's a group of people who are completely objective that can rate users.
You could make the point that you arguing that is like saying people who don't play professional sports should not be allowed to critique sports athletes. However, that would be implying that there's some sort of skill required in posting on a message board. :)
Cuz if you got friends, and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine!
Ugh. I'm first on the list according to my computer. I have been here since the beginning(read the CRZ recaps back on WrestleLine--or was it before that?) and have lurked the whole time. Even though the Internet is anonymous I still go by the thought 'Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and be proven one.'
That being said, I did send a message once to Chris when he and Kim got married and one other time I think. I like the real community feel of this board, and every community has that quiet, quirky neighbor. That is me. So I may try to post more or may just go back to watching the rest of you out my window.
