You have hit the nail on the head there, spinelust. Roll up your sleeves and dig in... we are in serious need of thread-starters, here and in other areas of the board. Don't be afraid if a thread doesn't take off... it happens to ALL of us. Not everything will fly, but almost every thread idea gets at least a few bites, and a good lot of them really do take off. I, for one, would be sincerely interested in hearing what kind of topics you are interested in, and I look forward to seeing more of what you post!

I honestly think that's a perception thing... we all go through that. There was even a thread somewhere (Paranoia, maybe?) about being the last person to post on a thread, and then the thread dying shortly afterwards... I think almost every member has felt like "OMG, IT'S ME!!!" at some point or another.
But I assure you, it's not. After my years here, I actually think it's kind of cool when I post and no one responds, for example in Politics...
hahaha.
Thanks for the continued responses!! I am so glad to see all of you posting here... keep it up.
