I thought this thread was called "Let's hear it for the LAKERS"

The Lakers aren't very good right now but that is okay they will be again, can't be the best every year!

If you want some good Lakers viewing material I recommend Winning Time on HBO Max it is a real fun show with lots of great talent you'll enjoy seeing (:

Basketball is more fun to play than watch but I don't really know the rules

Make the ball in the basket, and don't touch the other players pretty much sums up my knowledge

Piss Creep posted:

There just isn't the same hate from the regulars and long timers to make new users feel scared and feel they need to lurk for ages anymore. Well, I guess many of the stronger subforums still keep that up. GBS certainly doesn't.

If a new user asks a stupid question about the site everyone is far too ready to give them all the info they want.

I usually only post when I'm hosed up. Then I skip a couple of pages, so I don't see when people respond.

I like your style.

I consider myself a lurker at heart, though I do chime in with the occasional poo poo or white noise post.

It was a better time when we told newbs to lurk more. Instead of shitposting, you had to read the whole thread
There are posters that don't read whole threads?

One thing that separates me from other moderator candidates in GBS is how I've always been welcoming of lurkers to our fine forums. There hasn't been a lurker thread nearly long enough, well I'm here to change that. Come on out, lurkers, meet some of your fellow posters and share your thoughts around this thread! We're waiting to hear from you! "Lurk more" is a thing of the past.

I always like to say, for every empty quote I get, there's probably 10 lurkers who also wish they could step forward and empty quote me. Now's your chance! Hell, maybe I'll emptyquoted YOU!

And don't forget, when election season comes, remember your pal Smugworth. A moderator for the posters!

I was watching some american guy in Japan commenting that he was surprised that driver licenses don't have eye color, hair color or race and then after a second realised why they don't have those fields.
