What made you unlurk?

[DGM]

Just Nosy Rosy here after reading the State of the Forum thread, some of yesterday's Parenting random thread, and our current Randoms.

If you remember, what made you first post on NJCD? Asked a question? Love titted a picture? Called out as a lurker?

Not a poll.

[DGM]

For me, it was seeing the FYFF pictures and Monday coffee thread that gave me courage to post after months of lurking. I don't remember what my actual first question was, but I know I wrote an intro thread. D'oh!

[rugger]

I think it was when I was questioning whether it was worth it to try a new brand/style of diaper for when A was about to be born.

Thanks, guys, for convincing me that it was b/c those gDiapers did.not.fit A at.all.

Losing my job at the start of my 3rd tri and realizing we couldn't afford sposies and NEEDED to figure out what cloth to use.

Gosh I can't remember TJ? SAK? MapleMe?

I do remember one of the first gifs I posted was about coffee. Duh.

This was circa 2014.

[TJ]

My first post was asking about a zulily diaper. Bahahaha ha! But I stuck around bc of ABobLoblawLawBomb and chickypoo2468 talking about making it more of a community.

[piccyami]

Someone was asking about a sewing machine. I do not remember anything more than that. It was before we found out about IF, so I spent a lot of time lurking.

[critter015]

I have no idea, it was way back at the other place, surely something that I felt I could provide some input on. I started lurking there probably 7 years ago, and I know it was a long time before I ever posted anything.

[Stringy]

zulily has slowed its roll on diapers huh. or has zulily itself lost its luster?

[Crisco Salad]

I asked a question about daycare and leaking diapers. That was late 2014

[pbandj714]

I can't even remember. I started lurking just before we were TTC. I think I may have jumped in on GGTSSG or something like that a few times before really jumping in after a lurker thread.

You and I both delurked in a GTKY lurker callout thread. I was a little ahead of you, but it wasn't by a lot. I do remember feeling a little threatened that you were taking over my resident newbie reg status.

I think that I stuck around to help advise other newbies on their NB stash questions. It felt like the one thing that I was qualified to respond about by way of my constant research on the subject.

Someone asked a question about cloth diapers and daycare that I decided to take upon myself to answer...with exactly zero experience of cloth diapering a baby in daycare at that point.

[dancingsphinx22]

I think it was because my inserts had a funny smell, and someone somewhere told me to avoid Fluff Love. So I searched, found this happy little place, and hung around ever since.

I am still in the process of unlurking but I think I introduced myself a little while ago in a thread calling out lurkers. Then I participated in the political thread for a bit. Then started my first post asking about portable washers (I have thus far purchased and returned two washers, which is a huge pain in the ass, and am currently waiting for my third - hopefully third time is the charm).

I'm pretty sure that I didn't unlurk for diapers, but for friends gifs.

In all fairness, I had at least run a daycare for the previous few years at that point. Nevermind that I had cloth diapered my own kid for, like, a day or something.

That was also 3 kids ago...how time flies.

I'm pretty sure I just barreled in and asked a question about wash routines since we were looking for/about to buy a house and finally have our own washer. I was a Bump refugee who found out about this place via whoever was leaving hints on that CD board.

[briarrose]

I was active on my BMB but lurked here until we had what we thought was a yeast issue and I needed advice. Turned out not to be yeast, but anyway.

Then, my BMB blew up and got nasty, so I made the permanent switch over here, although I have been playing a little bit over on parenting lately.

[pipsqueak]

All I remember was in 2012, I was pregnant with Pip and I saw a link to the cloth diaper board and clicked on it out of curiosity. I saw what I liked so stuck around, asked a couple questions about different options and then after Pip was born and I started using cloth there was no silencing my opinions on some things so I started responding to threads.

[niko8083]

I can't remember exactly, but I think it was a question about wash routine issues.

[marshian]

When I got pregnant and wanted to start planning to cloth diaper. And babywear. All the fun things you guys chat about here.

[freezorburn]

I can't remember. I don't think I posted much during my pregnancy, but may have asked for advice about wetness sensitivity and potential food allergies when DS was a couple of months old. That would have been summer 2012. And I probably started chiming in on diaper laundry posts. I think some time in 2013 there started to be a lot of threads about food and I really enjoyed participating in those.
