Um, guys? I think you’ve frightened her away, with your goat felching and requirements of nudity and this [ratemybody.com](http://ratemybody.com) nonsense. Yeesh, and I thought I had a young, fresh mind that I could mold to my twisted way of thinking. Thanks. Thanks a _lot_. :rolleyes: ---

**Frog** , might just be me, but I thought it was obvious enough (again, maybe to me) that they were joking. Besides, as we all know, there’s a “report this post to a moderator” button, and if they _were_ serious, at least one mod would have seen and, if appropriate, acted on this posted suspicion. Cuz otherwise there wouldn’t be much of a realistic point beyond getting a chuckle:) Plus it makes more work for the mods, having to deal with possible accusations of trollery when those are already verboten. Hey **Keira** , don’t you worry your bikini off (despite what **Tabor** posted) about all this. Just take to heart what **Czarcasm** said … and post more pictures:D [sub]I hope all that wasn’t too close to Junior-Modding.[/sub] ---

Greetings, **Hardly** …welcome aboard. As to your “whether to spend money to subscribe” debate, keep in mind that registering helps pay for hamster chow. Without hamster chow, the hamsters get a might bit cranky and they start feasting on Dopers. And they prefer the succulent taste of Guests. ---

I’m curious to know why Vladimir a/k/a Keira hasn’t posted in any threads aside from ones about her. I’m also curious to know how she found this board. ---

Welcome aboard, You have joined the small but elite group of under 18 SDMB members. Soon, your grammar will get better, your sense of humor more refined, and your trivial knowledge will become the stuff of legends. Just keep your chin up, don’t piss off the old people, and fight ignorance at every turn. However, if you have a social life, now is the time to say goodbye to it. This place is like crack, heroine, and sex combined into one delicious fruit drink. Good luck. ---

I’ve been on this board for a year. The biggest thread I ever started went to 2 pages. Big-Boob Barbie waltzes in and starts a multi-pager with “Hi”… grumble grumble… men… grumble grumble… Welcome anyway, Keira. ---

You really _should_ post something, to put my mind at ease… You see that can’t be right. because when I talk to myself I don’t call me “self” I call me “Lobsang”. or “fool” (more often than not). ---

**HardlyHuman** , you may as well go ahead and pay your money, 30 days is nowhere near enough time to get bored here. And **Keira** , I said in one of these threads that if it turned out you were innocent of my admittedly cynical suspicions I would apologize. That still holds. In the event that all is innocent, my apologies and welcome to the SDMB. And **trublmakr** , I don’t think it was the “hi” alone that triggered all the activity here. Have you posted a picture of yourself in a bikini in any of the threads you’ve started. If not, this may be the perfect opportunity. 😉 ---
