Do you know the new mansion dwellers as they are announced?

Some I know instantly, some I have to look up.
Often, the member has been around for a while, yet was slow to achieve the 10K, and I am amazed, since I thought they were already past that.

Happens to me too, every once in a while.
For example, I only know you, @Sunny2, since about 5000 lurve.
What helps (for me) is when I receive a PM rom a member, from that moment I don’t forget them, and/or they won’t go unnoticed anymore.
Interesting to consider if there have been older as in long time members Jellies that have thought “Who the F is that guy rebbel that is answering my question…”

The last few I haven’t seen in years. But that’s the thing. They’ve been here for years.

People do catch me unawares sometimes. Not sure why but perhaps they have taken a break or maybe I am just unobservant (entirely possible). Other people stand out from day one. One of those weird Fluther things I think.

I am surprised how fast some users reach 10k (in just a few short months). It took me about a year to reach that amount and I was a daily user. The population has grown a bit since then. I do recognize the users who receive 20k and beyond because they’ve been around when I’ve been my busiest here.

I do remember a party not too long ago for a long time user who has been here much longer than I have. I believe this person reached 20k and about half the users who answered the party Q didn’t even know who this person was. She used to be a regular but life got busy and she hadn’t been around much for a good year.

I’ve noticed a few long-timers who are about to reach a milestone but may not have been around much lately. Keep an eye out for more you may not recognize. ;)

I occasionally do not know someone who has reached 10K.

Nope.

But then I’m new myself.

Does a double take at @Zensky….

@zensky I was just thinking about where you had gone off to. Welcome back.

Thanks babes.

I recognize some. Most I do not. I congratulate all the same.

I have almost always noticed people by the time they get to 10K.

If I don’t know the person immediately, I’ll go into their q/a history. If I remember them from that info, I’ll give my hearty congrats! I really like to give a personal and genuine congratulatory message. If I honestly don’t remember the person from any situation, I’ll stay away from the party thread. Not that they don’t deserve it, but I have nothing of value to contribute.

Actually, I usually go to the history of those I don’t recognize and it helps me get familiar with people I don’t know. Those who never wrote anything remain unrecognized. (As I write this, I realize I didn’t say much that tells anything much about me on my page either.) Hmm. I’ll have to think about that.

I’ve been on/off of Fluther for more than 2 years now and there are quite a few that I never heard of before.

@Paradox25 Welcome back!
