Well, ive been around ToonZone since April 2002 or so. I usually just hang around and jus read other peoples posts. Recently ive tried to become more active on the boards though.
So what kind of poster are you? do you post all the time? do you just read other peoples threads?
I usually lurk, but I find a few things to comment on here at the cafe. That's how I am at every forum I go to, read mostly, and find just one place to actually post.

I really just like to read other people's posts or threads. I don't post all the time. I actually didn't register the first time I found this place. It took me a couple month's to decide to do it!

I don't like to post unless I feel I have something that needs to be said....
And that being said:
*submerges back into lurkdom*

I usually only post if somethings funny or I actually have something to say. Alot of times I just read all of the posts and lurk.
But no more! From now on I will post nice long yet not to long, and soon people we'll adore me and let me rule there countries. :knd1:
Or maybe not. :p
I sometimes post a lot, usually when I'm really bored sometimes I do nothing but read.

On average I post a nice amount, but I try to only post intelligent comments. Sometimes they're comments of just pure excitment sometimes, if the case calls for it and all of course. If I don't think I can add something meaningful to a discussion, I normally don't post anything.

I vary. I post a lot more these days, and while I'm back home, I'm enjoying having a very regular input. I like to try and vary between what I see as witty, and serious. I try to make sure there is something in there that will at least make someone smile and at most make them think a little. I just enjoy particpating in these fun conversations!

I like to get involved in as many disscussions as possible. However, I always read the content of the treads first, just to get an idea of the topic. I'll only post if I know enough about the subject being discussed to make a decent opinion of it.

I don't know. You judge me.
For one, I really only post if I've got a question, or have something to add to the conversation. Adding to the conversation as in, say, answering a question or showing a proven point.
Two, while its not contributing to threads, if its a sort of "Congratulations" thread, I'll just post a "Congratulations" or a "Congrats".
Even though I just felt like I contradicted myself there, that is pretty much my basis for posting. :D

Well I've been around these boards for about 3 months now and I haven't started posting till about the last 2 weeks. I got bored with the other message board I was on and decided I'd start posting here more since there are so many forums to enjoy.
So yeah, you'll be seeing a lot of me around here.

When I first discover a forum I like and want to participate on, I lurk for a month or two, to get a feel for the place, and then register. After that, you won't be able to shut me up. Sorry. :)

I used to post rather frequently, but, for some reason or other that I can't exactly put my finger on, I just dropped pretty much dead. Back then, I posted because it was fun, I loved sharing my opinions and thoughts, and always felt like I had something to say. Nowadays, I'm just content on sitting back and watching how things go, jumping in now and then whenever I feel like it (or to show off my latest avatar :p)

I go through different phases. There are sometimes when I might post two replies in four days, and there are sometimes when I make several posts per day (I'm in the latter right now).
I try to only post if I really have something to say. Whether that's a long response (tends to be the case :D ), a small joke, or some information that hasn't been mentioned. I also try to speak up if I feel one side of a debate isn't being represented, or if I strongly disagree with the forum consensus.
I never really reply to any "one word answer" threads, where it's an either/or question, or a "congrats" thread. (Nothing against them, I just don't end up posting there).
Also, there are some threads where I do feel I have something to say, but end up avoiding it, usually because it's too long of a thread, or too touchy of a topic.

I post a lot, because I have a lot to say. I only post when I have something to add to a conversation, otherwise I just skim it. It's about quality, not quantity. :)

I'm here every day, but I tend to be more of a lurker. I'll usually post if I have something to say, or can answer a question someone's asked that I see hasn't been answered yet.

-On subject...
I just lurk too. I've been more interested in the story that I'm writng at home and also in my PMs. Every once in a while I come and find something interesting to read and post on it.

I'm a frequent poster, and usually post in stuff that interests me, but I read almost every thread in the forums I visit.

I made this avatar about a year ago, and I'd offer to make you one, but I no longer have the computer that I made this on, and quite frankly, have forgotten how. :(

I'm a lurker. I don't post too much, unless there's something I want to get off my chest or it's a topic in which I can help. In fact, I lurked around the old World's Finest boards until I did a independent research project on anime that I wanted to post on the boards, which required me to register.
Lots of times I don't post on threads that I feel might be banned, such as political, religious, or any controversial threads. I usually get there too late and if I have an opinion to comment on, it has been said 50+ times anyway. If an idea I believe in hadn't been brought up, and I feel won't create any flames or hostility, then I'll post, otherwise I keep to myself. All those kinds of thoughts go to an online diary where it's mostly people I know who read them.
When I was bored at school, I used to read and post a lot, but now with more responsibilities cramping my style, I haven't had the time to log on as often, and when I do, I lurk and jump in once in a while. :)
I lurk and read, and if a topic interests me, I post. :)
I try to be upbeat and positive in my posts... sometimes I come off as a little too upbeat. :(
Soo, yeah. *laughs*

I post a lot because uh, I dunno. I like this place and have a problem just reading without saying anything.

I am very infrequent posting (generally because I’m not gringo and I don’t understand local subjects), but I visit the Toonzone forums everyday.

I am here most every day but I never start threads (there are enough pointless ones here that you don't need mine also) and I post to what interests me. I read most every post that the subject interest me.

Occasionally, I get busy with a project and spend very little time here. When I come for large amounts of time, which happens frequently, I post a lot of replies.
