I'm a lurking oldby. I don't even remember how long I've been here, but quite a while (not more than a year though, I'm not that old). It's been fun though, and this is the first time I've been to the Newby threads. Sad huh? It's pretty fun here though, I think I'll start coming more often. biggrin.gif



~~~THREAD NOTES~~~
Previous Thread

THREAD PURPOSE: This is where Portkey (PK) Oldbies can finally introduce themselves to other PKmates. Have you registered in PK for a couple of months now? You haven't opened your own introductory thread yet? Then you can do that here!

WHO CAN POST ON THIS THREAD: Oldbies as defined below, and anyone who wants to welcome them to Portkey

Definition of a Portkey Oldbie by Arnina
QUOTE
So have you introduce yourself when you first join PK? You registered in PK some time ago? Never been formally given the PK welcome hug? Did not receive the welcome pack consisting of slices of Pumpkin Pie and guide on how to make a delicious one yourself?



MODLY REMINDER: Guys, please refrain from veering far off-topic. Thread visitors &/or lurkers could easily get lost. Also, wouldn't you want Mods to spend their time on things that are more productive** than screening off-topic posts?

**Examples of more productive stuff include screening your own application for PK authorship, processing your favorite authors' applications, making the forums you frequent more searcher-friendly, moderating our PKmates' essays, evaluating proposals to open or retain forums or subforums, etc.

well, I'm a Wonky Lurker because i can't seem to keep up with the conversations happening in the wonky thread.... my goodness i think they're at their 31st thread or more i lost count.... anyway... i like H/Hr a lot..... I also fancy R/Lu and J/L and D/G in the fandom only but i like the idea of D/G in canon also....

~Karen
Hermione's Twin
Hey, wait a minute...

I just realized that I never got my official PK hug or pumpkin pie. *is indignant* angry.gif Then again, until about a month or so ago I never left the H/Hr section, so how would I know about the Newbie thread? Oh well.

QUOTE (Karen)

Hehe, you too? I actually told myself that while I had such a long vacation this past week (exams, which I exempted) I'd read the Wonky Threads. The problem is, every time I got done with three of them, another one was started. I just gave up. So I'll continue to be a lurker. tongue.gif
Harry/Hermione 4eva
Well then, good job I'm here isn't it? laugh.gif

*Hands Pumpkin Pie and Juice over* and *Hugs* You're very late welcome hug! laugh.gif

QUOTE (Karen)

Hehe! Me too, I did attempt to keep up, but I just can't, so I've given up on it. laugh.gif

*Starts in on the pie*

So just how many of us are Wonky Lurkers anyway? I mean, if Becky is a lurker and she's as zany as the Wonky Posters...
Scrivenshaft
I'm really embarrassed... I'm an oldbie and never got my hug sad.gif *sobs*
Facade
*spreads arms out wide enough to hug all old bies*

I feel your pain... I really do. Or else why would I start this topic. Anyway enjoy your pumpkin pies and here you have me officially saying welcome to you all!

So welcome Karen, Rach, and Jennifer to PK! *Whee* Don't lurk at the wonky threads, just join in. Read the thread indexes to 'try' to catch up, but it is fruitless to be in touch with everything, unless you are me. tongue.gif 'Cause I am special. wink.gif

I mean the different things you guys talk about!
You start talking about something on one page, I go to post a reply to it, and you're talking about something completely different!
And if I was to post about something pages, and pages ago, I'd feel like aright pleb! laugh.gif

Szaranea
I never introduced myself and hence got not hug either. And no pumpkin pie! I love pumpkin pie!!!! But that's thanks to my own stupidity...I'm a PK user since, dunno, August, and never found the forums until a few weeks ago...

Ri, who is now hiding because she's ashamed of her own idiocy
Harry/Hermione 4eva
*Hands Pumpkin Pie, Juice (or something stronger if you'd prefer) and hugs*

Ryoko you never got your PK hug?

Awww.... *hugs* I'm a PK welcomer too, I feel bad now!

And Ri, same to you! *tosses a chocolate chip muffin and gives PK hug* Welcome to PK! Teehee...

Kristina
MyOb
I don't think I can consider myself an Oldbie. 250 posts are not that much, even though I registered in June of last year. But since it's too late now to introduce myself...well..

I never got my PK hug. Hehe.

Why, thank you Bec. YAY! I've been Welcomed...Finally...

Wow...It feels..good! I wish I had started a topic back then, so that I would have met these wonderful people a while before.

Don't we all Figo, don't we all.
I used to hate the internet before I found PK....and now I can't get enough of it! Yay for the internet...introducing PK to me. w00t.gif

Hey all!

I'm, by definition, a PK Oldbie. I've made a total of 33 posts since August when I first joined. I'm the definitive lurker. I decided it's time I posted here.

Can I have my hug and slice of Pumpkin Pie? I love Pumkin Pie!!!

Nadja user posted image

Hey look! 34! Hehe...
MyOb
Hey Nadja!!

Well, I've just been welcomed myself, so we were in the same boat until some time ago.

*Hugs* That will be your Welcoming Hug and guess what? You will not get a slice of Pumpkin Pie, but a WHOLE Pie! Great isn't it? *serves Pie*

Anto
Szaranea
Hi Nadja!

*gives Nadja knife to cut the pumpkin pie* blushing.gif well, clearly somebody has to think of that! *hugs Nadja* that's a welcome hug!

Ri

Harry/Hermione 4eva
Awww....here I am Ryu!


Time to welcome you!

Welcome to PK Ryu! *Hand over Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Juice* and *Hugs* your welcome hug. biggrin.gif

See you in HP Generator. biggrin.gif

Szaranea
Oh dear, and I'm not even the first to officially welcome Ryu *pouts*.

But I get to be a close second. *gives Ryu a big welcome hug* wub.gif

And I'm glad that you took my advice and hopped aboard wonky!

Ri
GemmaH121
Hi everyone,

Well I've been around for a while on the forums. I think I joined about 4 or 5 months ago. Anyway this is the first time I visited this thread so I thought I'd introduce myself. Anyway hi everyone my names Gemma I hope to get to know you guys.

Gems
Szaranea
Well, hello then Gems *gives Gems a big welcome to PK hug*. Have some pumpkin pie! Or would you prefer a nice chocolate chip muffin?

Ri
Mirtilla
I haven't yet introduced myself! Um well I'm here since January 2004, so I'm pretty new but when I come here I knew already some of you, in fact I received some welcomes via PM, oh well it's nice to be here because you are all so friendly. My real name in Michela and actually I find Mirtilla, a nice name as username so I use Mirtilla as username everywhere in every forum where I am.

Cheers!

Mirtilla
MyOb
Well, welcome to both Gems and Michela!! *hugs both of them*

I have only recently been welcomed myself...It feels weird to welcome others...

Anto
Szaranea
Hello Mirtilla! *hugs Mirtilla*

You're part of the Italian Quidditch team captained by Anot, right? biggrin.gif I'm clairvoyant...
