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.
~~~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

| 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. ~gal-texter 24Feb2004

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....

Hey, wait a minute...
I just realized that I never got my official PK hug or pumpkin pie. *is indignant*

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.

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.

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.

'Cause I am special.

Like I said, the Wonky threads go too fast!
I can't keep up, and you all know what I'm like posting! *Looks at post count*
I've just given up on even trying!
*Hands out freshly made Pumpkin Pie's for all oldbies!!!*
Enjoy people!

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!

I never got my PK hug. Hehe.

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.
