Even if you have never posted before, join in, let's see how long a Conga Line we can make.
Only request I make to join in on the Conga Line, is that if anyone who does want to join in, please only post that emoji and nothing else.
A topic/post "Conga Line" was started for a bit fun. I mean, who doesn't mind a bit of lighthearted fun. And if it isn't your cup of tea, that's fine, then ignore it and move on to the next topic/post. I do understand that it may not be for everyone, as some fishing isn't, or some topics aren't, or our fishing styles differ, or boating suits some but not others etc etc.
The topic/post "Conga Line" was started for another reason, a very specific reason.
It can be quite daunting being a newbie who wants to post on any forum, to take that leap and put up their first post. This is even so, for any current members who may have been on this forum for a while and have always wanted to post and get involved but haven"t posted yet, and they are a bit tentative about starting. Trying to post in a forum where there are strangers and also that there are already established circles of friendships, does test people and some may find it a little intimidating to "break into" the general group. These members might just need that little bit of encouragement or a lighthearted topic or even something as simple as posting a non-intrusive post, by posting just an emoji.
I thought with a simple posting of an emoji, in a lighthearted topic, showing and maybe also having mateship amongst us all, may have been the motivation that some, who have wanted to post but haven't yet, may have needed to feel comfortable enough to put up a post, be it just a silly dancing banana emoji.
It is all about, letting that “kid” that is sitting on his own in the cafeteria, the classroom, having his lunch on his own while looking at the other kids having fun and wishing they had the gumption to join in , , , , it is all about saying “Come on mate, join in, we got ya”
Hence the "invitation" to all, including to "if you have not posted before" to post, but only that emoji, hence the request "please only post that emoji and nothing else"
So, lets give it another go. Who wants to join in and give these members (and guests) a nod to come and join in and at least put one post up , , , , it could start their posting ball rolling.
If you are a “guest”, become a member and join in on the Conga Line by posting that silly dancing banana , , , , and you never know what that may lead to.
The topic “Conga Line Chat” can be the topic to have the beers, comment on Bugatti being a Noob, if you feel the need to and more importantly say “Hey New Poster, thanks for joining the Conga Line”
And as requested "please only post that emoji and nothing else".
