I want to thank everyone who contributed positively to the Shari Beth forum for the past two weeks.There were three days when it was the most active forum, and that warmed my pants. I doubt anyone else will pick a theme that spreads more than a page and a half or is this entertaining.
I really had fun, logged in a lot more than usual, and kind of got a sense of what the board does for the rest of you addicts who are on all of the time. My daily post average jumped from under 4 to a mighty 6+. I even told all my "real" friends about my forum, though I could see their eyes rolling and as they looked at me like I was the biggest loser weirdo I bet they were thinking, "After all the drugs and abusive relationships, is the internet the addiction we're going to have to do an intevention for?"
I guess you've figured out by now that my Suzie persona is the same as Shari Beth so feel free to call me either name. I will fade back into lurker/rare poster obscurity but I thank you all for indulging me, I'm embarrased to admit how much I enjoyed this and what I great time I had with my own forum.
Special thanks to Arpik<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'></span>arhu for making this all possible and for being fair even when he hated it. I will refrain from submitting my creative haikus to any further contests, becuase even if it's not part of the official rules I don't think anyone should get to win twice. (The fact that I took the time to figure out a trick to get his real name in there shows what a nerd I've become!!)
