Interesting post in "Her Religion" and "The Golden Dawn???"
LOL...

I'm flattered, really, but in reality, I'm a long time lurker who reads the forums, but doesn't have much time to contribute at all. I was thinking of joining OpA (why I got the account), but that has stalled a little bit recently.

Don't be embarrassed 7Harry...my penchant for obscure Latin phrases could make me sound suspicious.


But back on topic, I'm a lot less skeptical about new posters. The forums can be an intimidating place to get started in, and when people finally have something to say, I don't think it's that unusual to start a new topic. Do we have any proof of posters who were actual plants?

So far there has been no evience that suspiciously absent posters are any threat or any kind of plant...but we shouldn't limit the story to not do something like that.
What ever happened to that girl BA?

BA Tells Lies.

Some things are secret for a reason.
There are people whose lives are dedicated to keeping them that way.

I'd agree with BA that we shouldn't limit the story, but at the same time, creating 'fake' posters is something that could create a lot of dissension in the forum. I'd like to think that the creators (or other fans) would be really cautious about it.

Just suspiciously lazy

Hello! I've been a lurker for awhile, and only now actually registered to post. I know that looks suspicious, but I promise I'm just a harmless fan!

I do think the theory of planted posters to throw discussions off track is a very good one though.

I don't want to make newbies feel unwanted :(

But, it seems that, every once in a while, random new people show up with very important, very specific information. It's too... convenient. Like here, for example --> http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic ... ght=#35781

(I know it's an old thread, but just look at the date the thread was made, then look at the date some of the people who commented had registered... there's a person a few comments above mine, about the middle of the page, who claimed to be an art major, which is just too gosh darn convenient for me)

yeah; it's not that they're new, but that their new AND their comments are a little too convenient; either telling bree to stop (which likely plays into Oppy's hands) or giving us clues/"clues".

Exactamundo! Kinda like TravelerJ has done...;)

Also, OpAphid said to be suspicious of people trying to sway us. She has sad that forum has been infiltrated...so in game we are always a bit psychotically suspicious. :lol:

Don't worry. I think because things are in text and not spoken, people mistake things for being rude when they aren't meant to be. I'm sure this happened on both sides of the coin. Like, I had responded to something you had said and was only meaning to explain something, but it oculd have come across wrong since so many others did that. It's o.k.! :D

don't worry about it!
I was happy to help.

I think a lot of people are jsut getting annoyed with ome people who don't pay attention to TV, because when ever the creators or jess or yousef ever did and interview they talk about teh clues and the hints and the "game" that is being played through the series. Plus we see a lot of idiots who come in here and disrupt the search by saying "OMG you guys are so wierd...its FAKE"....

sometimes...i feel like slapping people.
