Who’s Here—Really? A Gentle Roll Call for Our Tiny Community

[anita]

Hello everyone:

I’ve been reflecting on the rhythm of the tiny buddha forums. From what I’ve observed, there seem to be no more than six individuals, at any one time, who visit and post here regularly. I count myself among them.

Others come and go, post once or twice, or more, and then vanish. That’s okay—life moves. But for those of us who remain, I wonder: who’s actually here, reading, witnessing, engaging?

If you’re reading this and consider yourself a regular, would you be willing to say your name (or username)? Just a simple “I’m here” would be enough.

This isn’t about pressure or performance—it’s about presence. About knowing who’s in the room, so to speak. If we are indeed a community of six or fewer, then perhaps it’s time to name that.

I’ll start: 🌸 I’m Anita. I read, I reflect, I post. I’m here.

Anyone else?

Hi Anita

I think there are more than 6 people. I lurked just reading for a long while before talking. It is a common practice on the Internet.

Present. 🎁 ❤️

Hey Anita,

Whom did you have in mind when you counted 6 people? Because I too count more people than that, who engage regularly, although perhaps not on a daily or weekly basis.

Thank you to those who replied. So far, only a few have named themselves, which seems to confirm the scale I was sensing—just a handful of regulars. Nothing personal, just naming what is.

Hi Anita

I don’t have much to say as my experience of life does not have the depth & breadth that others have gone or going thru, so although I can commiserate & try to empathize & try to look at things using my limited knowledge & practice of Buddhism.

Hi Anita

I try not to be judgemental but I dont always manage to be tactful. So my input is limited.

Thanks for replying, Roberta. Your voice matters, no matter how much you choose to share. There’s no need to compare experiences—everyone’s perspective is welcome.

I’m still hoping to hear from others who visit the forums regularly. If you post here daily, weekly, or even monthly, and you read or engage with threads, please say so. Just a quick “I’m here” or your name is enough.

Hi everyone,

I’m new here so I’ll probably lurk for a while before posting anyone, but since you asked, I’m here!

Glad to have you here, Audrey! Thank you for answering. Looking forward to reading more from you, when you are ready.

Hi Anita, I am here, too, although a bit sporadic. I usually read answers to questions I am interested in. I don’t react very much because I don’t feel I have enough knowledge or competence but I learn a lot from your and others’ answers 🙂

[anita]

You are here, EvFran- that’s all that matters, you’re here. 🙂
