No. I'm not a lurker. I'm actually shy irl but here, the basic tenet of the site is to help people make good choices in transactions and not get scammed, with side dishes of forums that provide all sorts of reptile and caging and feeding and reptile health info, and other forums that provide fun, social interaction, and an opportunity to talk about what's important to you.
I think if one realizes the BOI is out there to help the reptile community, it makes it easier to post in those threads. After all, even the shyest of us can still feel good about helping others, and one tends to forget about being shy if one is busy helping someone else.
Of course, it helps that this site has come such a long way in the years it has been here. There are rules and mods to assure that brawls are kept to a minimum. And there are a group of thoughtful, often funny, vocal people that call the site their home, and a community reputation of helping others.
