discussion Socially anxious lurker attempting to become a functional community member 🫡

Honestly, until I read your message I thought it was dead too.

I saw all the shutdown news back then and I hadn’t been able to access the site for a long time, so I just assumed it was gone. After reading some posts here though, I managed to get in using a VPN.

So thanks for making me double check lol.

I've seen much talk about this ATF thingy. Just out of curiosity, could someone tell me what it is? Thanks in advance.

Honestly, thanks a lot for the long reply

It was actually really reassuring to read. I think one of the hardest parts after years of lurking is just getting used to participating instead of staying invisible all the time, so hearing other people talk openly about anxiety and similar struggles genuinely helps.

And honestly I relate a lot to the "different cultures and memes" part too lol. English isn’t my native language either, so sometimes I read posts and feel like I accidentally walked into 15 years of internet inside jokes nobody explained to me.

The lurker thread has definitely been helping already though, and the community here feels surprisingly chill compared to most places online.

Also thanks for clarifying the ATF situation. For the longest time I genuinely thought the site had died because I couldn’t access it anymore.

And don’t worry, the novella was appreciated. Years of lurking trained me to read giant forum posts.

well, I am expert at composing novellas. I can rant on longer if you like lol, but I figure to try learn write shorter. Anyhow, Im glad you are enjoying time here. You will be surprised how many people do really struggle with getting involved with online social, or forums ect.. I think it is an art we develop at some point. No idea. I just get weirded out by most things then go into this shell, but I realise this and its become accepted as part of my brain function, so being social is not for everyone. However, it seems LC does try to encourage us all to be active and interact, which is fine, so as long we are able to chill here and enjoy then this is achievement.

Yeah, ATF, has had tons of attacks and so has LC. There are plenty of people who feel we are vile abusers and so on, so they constantly send DDOS and other viruses to try to shit on our doorstep, so this reason I was told is largely why ATF had to shut down and go through the huge task of fixing up the attacks, and the owner was going to close down, but decided not to thankfully.

Seems to me, from my limit knowledge that LC and ATF are the last frontiers for hosting our style of content sadly.

I've been here a while and was saddened to see that I lost my status after this last round of updates.

Wait, you can lose stuff for being inactive?

Hey everyone,

It took me way too long to figure out where everyone went after the ATF chaos, but I finally sniffed out the trail to LewdCorner

Funny thing is, I genuinely thought ATF had died this whole time because I couldn’t access it anymore. Turns out my access was just blocked and I only recently managed to get back in with a VPN after reading posts here

Still, finding this place feels like paradise. Massive shoutout to the staff for giving all us confused lurkers a place to regroup.

Since I don't want my coin balance to drop into the negatives for being an anti-social ghost, I’m fighting my social anxiety right now by posting this.

You can find me hiding in the Anti-Social & Lurker Hideout Spot trying to farm my way to Members+ like a gentleman.

Glad to be here! Cheers!
