I'm not 'inactive', just quiet!

[skimbop]

skimbop, we will be sporadically deleting 'inactive' accounts, typically these are accounts that haven't been logged into for over 12 months or haven't made a single post. If you wish for your account to remain on GrandOldTeam, please consider making a post. Thank you.

I'm a lurker being forced from the shadows, I guess. I really enjoy reading this forum and do so daily. Have been for years now. I just haven't ever felt like I had much to contribute to the conversation. So I don't. That may change in the future, but for now having the account keeps track of my place in threads and allows me to ignore some of the more... tedious... content. Please don't delete me!

Since I've come this far already... as for me, I'm an American in my mid-30s. Been following Everton since the 2014/2015 season when, desperate to fill the gaping hole in my life left by yet another World Cup ending, I learned that NBC was airing the Premier League over here. I watched a couple of games opening weekend, but once I saw Everton (2-2 v a (I believe) new promoted Leicester) something just clicked, and I've watched nearly every minute played since. Got my wife on board too. And my 3 year old son is coming along nicely.

All-time favorite Everton player: Steven Naismith. Fight me.

Don't be shy to get involved mate, it's always interesting to me to discover what sadists actually choose to support us from watching us in the past few years.

Nice one for posting skimbop!

Well done @skimbop
Hopefully some other lurkers will follow your lead

I'd prefer having a limb amputated to @hktoffee

 

[ilikecheese]

I was forced out of hiding almost 10 years ago by @GrandOldTeam's bullying tactics too.

Well worth it.

Thoughts on Hawaiian pizza?

The best way to avoid tedious content is to place tedious posters on ignore mate.

Wow, I wouldn't of thought it was anything like as low as that.

We had a very quiet January (thanks Marco Silva/Everton FFS). 161,434 unique visitors in January alone.

In our 12 years we've only had just on 40k register in total, and only a very small % of them post.

Should be a surchage. Rather hypnotic those whips.

Don't be shy mate.
Nobody knows you on here.
Amount of irrelevant stuff on here will just blend in (myself included ).
Yiu could even introduce yourself.
Nothing too personal.
Just the state you're from even.
You might even meet like minded Evertonians.
Up to you.

Nice to hear from you cousin, don't be a stranger.

Great to hear from a US Toffee, as long as you didn't vote for the Orange one!
