I don't consider myself a "lurker". I just found this site 2 days ago and joined yesterday! As for what enticed me to post in this thread, I felt the title was an invitation! Thanks! It opened the door.

Should we tell them the cameras in the house are NOTHING compared to the spying we can do on them as they lurk here without posting???

It's JUST A JOKE!!! Hehe

Ellenkats, I have done enough reading around here to figure that one out!
Wcv63, maybe if you offer some sweet..."Want some candy little newbie?". Just a thought.

i found this site in middle of BB2....loved reading all the posts. Gave up all the other sites I had been using (joker) to get best coverage here. This year I signed up for a username and have posted couple of notes. Do not have live feeds so cannot post there. BUT feel that I can give out my opinions in discussions.

I must admit I have become totally addicted during BB3..my family and friends think I am nuts! But you all know better...ha!!

I have been thinking of starting a BIG BROTHER ANONYMOUS group!!! I think the meetings would be huge within this board. If any of you schedule a meeting, let me know. "Hi, my name is NanaRobin. I am a Big Brother addict".........

I've been here since season one, though I lurked mostly the first two seasons. More active this season.

Though, I'm starting to question whether I want to be a watcher of BB. It's just to d*mn stressful.

Dra -- my favourite lurker is that one who keeps drinking all that coffee!

I joined yesterday. I read the updates through last season but haven't really been "into" the discussion boards. Thought I might give it a try.

Luj great nothing to worry about as long as you don't disagree with anyone here about anything - it'll be smooth sailing... and you'll never be irritated..mad..or offended... conversely you could HAVE some fun :)


Gee bummed there are no over 30 cute/and or fun guys lurking ...<heavy sigh>

OK, I'll bite. I don't know if I really count as a newbie. I've been here since the second week of BB1. I was a Curtis fan from day one and hated all the Curtis bashing on the AOL site, so I looked around and found BBFC. I posted a lot during BB1 as katnphx (Katrina in Phoenix), but during BB2 I just lurked. Refused to pay for the feeds last year too. I was going to try not to get so involved with reading the live feeds this season and reduce my lurking to under an hour a day.

I am loving this season so much I joined with this new name and even bought the feeds . . . yes, I am hopelessly hooked.

I don't even remember 'how' I found this board - but it was sometime during BB1. I've been a lurker since then, but a couple of weeks ago I decided to 'take the plunge' and join so that I can share the experience <grin> with everyone here

Kat - your an old-newbie..or maybe a returnee..or perhaps your a new-returnee? Your definatel not a newbie though - but you could be accused of being a BBFC'er with a life! UG! Lives allowed between Sept 20th and July 1st only...

Fill me in on what I should know as a newbie, please? I just found out you can click on a person's screen name and find their profile, any other interesting little tidbits?????
Thanks for looking out for me!!!! LOL!!

Since Wednesday morning I have approved 150 accounts.....

The number of people applying had started to slow a bit but this week it has picked back up (50 users a day was the norm at the beginning of BB).

btw - if you have applied and have not gotten your mail with your password then you might want to re-apply, there are no 'pending' memberships (as of right now - I just approved about 14).

Sometimes the "welcome" e-mail ends up filtered as junk mail so be sure to check your "junk" or "bulk" mail folders.

Newbie's...a MUST is BUNNY TALES...Bunny's Live Feed Summaries. They are hysterically funny. Enjoy and welcome aboard.

151 - (approved another)

Also, I am the only person approving accounts at the moment (for the last week or so), so it can take 12-15 hours some days - especially weekends when I can't check in as much.

ReallyAddict - first off your name is to long for me to type out so I'll call you Trot how's that hehe...>:)

Ok here's some tips...

1) stay on Ryn's good side - he's a cutie.....so that's not too HARD to do hehe...:)

2) stay on Gale's good side cause she makes Dani look like a subbie's subbie....

3) if your using netscape - you can make the toolbar your best friend - if your using IE um grrr tell me HOW to..lol

4) watch out for Kieffer - in Kieffer's world the sky is pink and 2 + 2 = 19.

5) Remember everything you read here is a paradox.

6) Don't let anyone 'run you off' - if you do 'they win' :)

7) have fun - and if at any time it stops BEING Fun - there are 5001 other things you could be doing TO have fun - so go for one of them!

8) Remember it's a big family here - throwing their fits..sharing their thoughts and feelings in an annonumous little 'comment box' located in the dark closet in the basement. You'll see your bratty little brother on his worst day - and your adorable sis making you proud and everything in between round here... just tough out the bad days - all families have them :)

9) oh and as I said they..the OTHER posters here .... are all insane people - and this entire site and all those involved are a part of a physc experiment being conducted by the REAL BB... they...are watching US ...watching them..but don't worry - even the voices in MY head tell me it's safe.

Woo Hoo!!! I just joined. Love you guys I've been reading the LFP since BB3 started, just lurking around. My girlfriend showed me this site last year and we would spend hours reading. I think I remember a thread for newbie's and everyone titled "Where are you from". LOVE THE POSTERS for keeping us up to date!!!

Wonder if anyone could talk any of the mod's into moving the "WHat does your screen name mean" thread over to here - 1st off it's like one of the best threads ever..and 2nd off I think it'd really get a few newbies to post and share why the heck they picked THAT name to register here with.......ya know : )

whit4u, that's fine, you can call me Trot, but uh-oh, I just deleted that from my profile, so I guess that will be a little "secret" code between you and I!

Thanks for the info about the board. I am sure you have made all these newbies here tonight feel welcome by your response.

Do you really hear voices??? I do Too!
