I've been a member of Digibutter just under a year now, yet I only have a little over 1300 posts. I think I know why I lurk so much now.

When I click on the little Franis icon on my favorites, a little sense of pride and adrenaline comes over me. "I am a member of Digibutter." That's what I tell myself everyday. Digibutter is like a little haven for me. I can come here and get away from all of the troubles of the real world. I feel safe here. That's the word. "Safe." Never branching out, just staying back, alone and safe.

In many ways, I'm just like you guys. I laugh at the latest antics of the IOUS, get angry at Petey's latest immature flame, get excited over a rumored mod plot, and feel sad for a member who's feeling really bad. Sometimes, I even feel like you guys are my best friends, even though I've never talked to you.

Back on topic, the reason I'm always back in the corner is... Fear. You see, you guys are like Kittens. Sometimes, you're adorable little things that are always fun to be around. Othertimes... You guys will rip and tear at anyone for little to no reason. Then, in other cases, you will whine and complain, needing constant care and nourishment.

Even with these minor flaws, Digibutter is still the best place in the world to me. Everyday I wish I could be a part of you... Posting everyday... Making friends... But I'm just always too intimidated by the things you do to people you don't like, and afraid that you guys won't like the real me...

That's all I really have to say...

tl;dr version: I lurk because I'm afraid that you guys will hate me if I post more...

I know how you feel. Digibutter, is one of two communitys that have accepted me into themselves. I feel safe here, even if this is just the internet. I am happy when I come here.

Heck, not like you for who you are? *laughs darkly* Anyone who shows their true colors, has much bravery. Even braver than I. I honor those who do such to the greatest extent.

*opens cape to welcome arms* Join us, and the Meta-Knights will set you free. *laughs darkly*

So your afraid we'll rip and tear you apart too? I just deal with it (but I don't have many posts either D: ) I'd like to see more of you around, and even if you say something stupid, it's not like it's gonna ruin your rep unless you be a complete jerk, which your not. So welcome

I must admit, I felt the same when I first discovered Digibutter. Look at my join date: October sometime. My first post was in February.
I didn't wanna post in case I was ignored/flamed/etc. and I didn't want Digibutter to be 'spoiled' for me, since I had enjoyed just lurking up until then.
But I have found the more I got involved in the forum, the more I enjoyed it. You found the MKWii Tourney fun, right? That was a form of involvement, with (I think) no 'side effects', right?

Although I can't think of anything else to say, I think you'll know what I mean =D
