I know you're out there... Yes, you. I can't see you, but I find your footprints all over my web log. You're been dropping by this blog because you like reading about adult spanking.
Fear not, because we too are fascinated with spankings. Better still, today is your day! It's Love Our Lurkers Day. This is your opportunity to peek your head up just enough to say hello. Since you and good people like you constitute more than half of our readership, we bloggers are curious about you.
We're glad that you're here and don't mind you reading anything you like. But if you could write a short introductory comment, that would be simply fantastic. If you will, tell us your name (it doesn't have to be your REAL name), the part of the world where you live, and a little bit about your spanking interest.
This LOL Day 6 is a big thing. Just look at who all is participating!

Happy LOL Day, Bonnie! Thanks for all you do for our community. You are the best.
Always love to stop by here Bonnie, happy LOL day!
Hi Bonnie,
This is such a great idea! It's the first time I will be participating...didn't even know about blogging last year. I'll be putting up a post tomorrow. Thanks a lot for all you do to help bloggers get more readers/followers:).
Love,
Kitty
Happy to participate Bonnie, and thanks for linking to The Canery! Even bigger thanks for organising the whole thing! Just hoping I get some posts on the blog now...
Thank you, Bonnie, for the impact (pun intended) you've had on the Blogosphere: your clever and intimate entries, highlighting spankin' new spankin' blogs, and the lovely Love Our Lurkers Day!
As usual, I'm running behind like a pimp, but I joined in, too!
Thank you for all your efforts! You and your blog are great! I come here often.
Just posted to my blog, thanks for organizing such a fun day, Bonnie!

Happy LOL, Bonnie! This is an awesome tradition you've founded. And like good scotch, it just gets better by the year.
Happy LOL from mostly lurking, occasional commenter.

This is my first comment here. I like the idea of this LOL day. Let me tell ya it's hard commenting at first. My husband and I are newbies and I just posted my first post on my new blog. Thanks for making us feel at home.
Thanks once more for doing this and I hope that it all goes spiffingly.

I'm a lurker who enjoys reading your posts, Bonnie. Happy LOL Day!
Bonnie, thanks for doing this again, I love your blog and the weekly brunch! :) x
Thanks for organizing this event again, Bonnie!
It has become a great tradition for our blogosphere!
Cheers

Thank you again so much for organizing this Bonnie, you are just brilliant. Have a wonderful LOL Day!
LOL I love to lurk and be lurked too :) How come I have missed the last 5!! I think I have missed the 6th too, no time to post :(
Hi Bonnie, discovered this fantastic on line world about 18 months ago and although I have recently de lurked on a few sites now, it occurred to me that I never have on your wonderful blog, which is remiss of me as I often visit.
My name is Jamie, I have a partner Grace, our spanking world is largely confined to the bedroom and has reignited our sex life. I’m so grateful to you and all the other bloggers (Especially PK) for helping us to accept who we are.
Happy LOL Day!
Thank you for your amazing blog!
This is such a brilliant idea, I am so glad I found out about this. I love my lurkers and I have told them so today!

Hey Bonnie :) I also really enjoy your blog. Being fairly new to blogland I don't think I ever said thanku or how much I appreciate the 'shout out' for when I started my own blog. Sincere apologies, my only excuse is I was fumbling my way around and not 100% sure how to go about things. So thanku lol :) I've been fortunate enough to feel I have made some friends here now and there input and welcome has been really appreciated and encouraging :)
Dee x
good morning. happy LOL! love your blog. come by daily. comment occasionally. thanks
Wow! The day is just beginning,and look at all the lurkers you have charmed into revealing themselves. The blogroll will swell with all the new spanking blogs coming out of the woodwork today.
This LOL day will be the best yet!
Hugs,
Hermione
Thanks for a great blog and for organizing the LOL day, I have been leaving first time comments at all my favorite blogs.
The VBB
Morning Bonnie :) sent my required email - but had to stop by and say Happy LOL day.......
I read more than I comment - love the Sunday brunches :)
Thanks so much for organising LOL day - what fun !!
Already looking like breaking all records !! It'll be a National Holiday soon !!
Love
MarQe xx
OK, my blog is in as well. A posting just went up.
Happy LOL Day, Bonnie, and thank you very much for all the effort which you put into this event. :-)
The first comment I ever wrote on Ludwig's Rohrstock-Palast was on LOL Day 2008. So, one could say that you are in a way partly responsible for the two of us having become mates! ;-)
And it seems that the first two commenters on this year's LOL post at the Rohrstock-Palast are already real delurkers who have never commented on our blog before! This could become really ouchy for my bottom, since we've promised to make a spanking clip, adding swats for each comment (six swats for every real delurker). I'm looking forward to more comments and hopefully more delurkers, nonetheless!
This feels like a holiday! I should stay home from work so I can play around blogdom all day. Now, how do I explain this to my boss?
Happy LOL oh Queen of Spankdom!
We have posted to all the Blogs we follow and now here. Time for breakfast. Have a great day.
Hello Bonnie, I am here too i hope I did not post twice. :)
Happy LOL day! ! ! My post is up! ! !
What a genius idea! I'm joining in over at Dick Dyke Dick -- dykedecade.com
Just put up my post too!!
Happy LOL day! This is the first one for my new blog - it's very exciting :)
Happy LOL day!! I am a blogger who turned lurker due to a very hateful anonymous comment. But I do want to let you know that I very much enjoy your blog and look forward to each post that you make. Thank you so much for starting LOL day!
Hi Bonnie,
Just wanted to let you know, I love your blog
Stan
Great idea, I have joined in as well. Thanks for the cool idea.
Posted my entry this morning: http://mydsmarriagejourney.blogspot.com/2011/11/love-our-lurkers-6.html
Thank you, Bonnie!
Thank you for hosting this series, bonnie. :) We always enjoy hearing from lurkers.
We have a special incentive to peeps commenting on JTTDS for LOL day. Come and comment and you can participate in my spanking! :p

Hi Bonnie ... thanks for organizing ... great to be part of LoL 6 ... Cheers ... RH
WOW.. what a trip! Very well done, Bonnie... I am loving discovering new blogs and the really festive feeling this day has created.
Thank YOU!
*hugs* TMT
Hi, Bonnie! And Happy LOL Day! What a wonderful invention!
I love to lurk, laugh, and learn here. Thank you!
Dear Bonnie, Happy Lurker's Day #6, from your 'uno numero' fan.
Not sure i qualify as a lurker since i just found your site today...but i'm a 40ish collared submissive from the Midwest.
Hi Bonnie.
You are a star in the spanking firmament.
There are so many blogs to visit on your list that it will take a day or so. But it will be time well spent.
Thanks
Michael
I have to thank Dick Dyke Dick for sharing this wonderful fun.
I am Tracy and I created my Walk on the Wild Side blog at http://i12seeu2.blogspot.com, so that I could openly express my thoughts, beliefs, and desires. Also to share things that I have found on the internet. My desire is to amuse, enlighten, and definitely arouse my readers.
Now I have to get busy and visit all these blogs.
Bonnie
Last year I sadly missed out on this day...way to frightened to even think about a blog posting for the LOL day. And this year, I am having an absolute blast!
Thank you, and happy LOL day for you!
Hugs
Raven

This has been fun, Bonnie! Hat's off to ya! :) Happy LOL Day!
What a wonderful tradition and a means of promoting togetherness in the community. I'll toss my hat in as well :-)
Best Regards,

This was a fun idea that you came up with! Thanks for hosting it...I've enjoyed myself.
Thanks! I'm participating too!
I'm participating too :-)
Thanks for organising this again Bonnie!

Thanks for adding me to your list! I love this idea and I am really glad I was able to participate this year! Looking forward to many more LOL Days.
~Rose
Nice to be loved by all those people who dont know me.
"Nice" - thats one of those words which is neither hot nor cold
Gratifying !!!! Warms my cockles - smile
If I knew something more then thanks to say I would, But alas I don't. So thanks. LOL. In a little less then a year I have gone from a lurker to a blogger and it all started here for me.
Bonny, thanks so much for all the hard work which goes into organizing LOL Day and all the hard work you put in to the purpose of this blog. It is an axis for community amongst bloggers and also amongst kinksters in general. You've done so much to educate and network for everyone. Thank you, thank you! Blessings and many more enjoyable years writing...
Hi Bonnie,
Have been reading your blog for quite some time now, but I am awful at commenting on people's blogs, so thought I'd take this opportunity to say hi and thank you so much for organising another LOL day!! It just seems to be getting bigger and bigger each year, and I've just posted my own LOL post on my blog as well!
Just wanted to delurk a moment and say I love your blog. I have learned so much here and continue to learn more each day. Thank you.-Susan
Hi Bonnie! Whew, I almost missed it. So happy you're doing LOL Day. I've put up on http://www.eltercerojo.net and am about to put one up on http://www.punishmentbook.org.
LOL day always rocks. You are amazing!
Happy LOL Day. Just a lurker dropping by to say hi and thank you. Can't send a message to all the bloggers but want them to know I enjoy their posts.
Afraid to say I'm not a lurker because I've not come across your site until now! But I've seen other bloggers join in with LOL day and really wanted to too!
Here's my post on the topic, I hope you don't mind adding me to your list!
http://blacksilk.wordpress.com/2011/11/10/love-our-lurkers/
Now I'm off to read some more of your posts :)
Thanks Bonnie, I love your blog and all that you do for us bloggers. xoxo
Thank you, Bonnie, for once again organising LOL Day. It's becoming quite an institution (every spanko knows that six is an auspicious number), and the spanking blogosphere would be poorer without it.
Wow -- will you look at all these comments!
Love you, Bonnie; thank you so much for organizing LOL Day once again.
Hi I'm a regular lurker, I enjoy your posts, and it was LOL day last year that got me making my first comments on Dev and Poppy's blogs, so thank you for organising this
Helllo, Bonnie, Queen of Spankoland!
You are truly amazing! Thank you for all you do for this community. Love n hugs, and happy LOL day! xxxxxxxxxxx
Always, always reading. :)
I'm an almost lurker as I've commented a couple of times on your blog. I always check in on Sunday Brunch.It was LOL day last year which got me almost commenting and then I finally took the leap six weeks later over on B&T.
This is our first visit, so we're not lurkers, but we've added you to our blogroll and will be back. Our LOL post is up at http://frisky916cpl.blogspot.com/2011/11/lurker-appreciation-day.html
Thanks for doing this, Bonnie. I tend to fall back into lurking mode sometimes. This is such a great way to build community
I'll do a LOL post on my blog as well!
poured out
Hi Bonnie,
Hope you are enjoying yourself on LOL day. This year I had an experience that made me realize just how special this community in general and your blog in particular is. Here is my story:
I was following a good weight loss plan but it was not one of the more common ones so there wasn’t much support out there for questions, plateaus, etc. Then I remembered the time I Googled the “S” word and stumbled on you and your amazing links to everyone out there. What could be simpler? I Googled the name of the diet and . . . nothing helpful! No “Bonnie”s that were the hubs of any bloggers on the diet. No “Finding Sara”s who were trying the same thing and sharing honestly about their experiences so one could learn from them. There were the odd, disjointed enteries here and there but nothing organized. The experience made me think “Wow! What an amazing thing this spanking community really is”
So, thank you, Bonnie for your time, energy and dedication in being the hub of this community. You are truly and greatly appreciated.
Take care,
R.
Hi Bonnie, it's me again. This really is a great way to spend a day, isn't it? I am thinking maybe it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on, LOL!
Rodders
Hi Bonnie! Great idea this! it's my first too as for so many others. I put up a post of it earlier too :)
Again, good job!
/melinda.
*waves a hello*
The LOL day thing is a great idea! Where would we be without our lurkers?
Ferns
*waves*
Happy LOL day
I'm a faithful lurker for a few years now and have never posted a comment anywhere. I like that you set this up. I didn't have the courage last year to participate. I'm from the Southern part of the US. I check your site daily too. Don't Stop!
Happy LOL Day, Bonnie. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this special day.
:)
~Todd and Suzy
Thank you for organizing such a camaraderie-building day! Success!

I learned about your blog and this day from Hedone of The Pleasure Principle. I plan to visit again. Thanks for hosting LOL day and including me on the list above!
~ Sweets
Bonnie: You must be proud of how popular LOL day has become. I know when I followed your advice and stopped lurking, it changed my life and led to me making new friends and starting a blog myself. I hope some of today's lurkers join our community and start making comments and maybe even start their own blogs.
Congrats again Bonnie.
FD
Totally missed that this was happening this year, for some strange reason, but am just about to post a belated joining-in post of sorts! Thanks for organising it again.
Thanks for organizing LOL days, Bonnie! Your efforts inspire bloggers and lurkers alike!
many thanks bonnie and I thought it was only us dave north england lol
Hi. This is my first visit to your blog, but I guarantee I will be doing plenty of lurking here from now on. I love a good spanking. :) I'm adding you to my blog roll. *Hugs*
I have "wood" and "Trouser Arousal" (trademark Chief sayings) on LOL day, sorry I'm late, I was away :)
Wow, 100 comments, I barely have 10, lol!
Happy LOL Day to you, Bonnie! See what you've started, young lady? :-)
Dr. Ken
I'd like to offer my thanks to all bloggers, readers, and (ex-)lurkers who were a part of our LOL Day 6 celebration. I plan to post the final totals on Monday, but I can tell you now that 2011 was our best year yet.

Serenity - I hope you had a wonderful LOL Day!

Dioneo - I love a good tradition, especially one steeped in ritual. The mind wanders... :D

Bogey - That's a fine way to start the day. Thanks for your support!
FB - You did it just right!

Stan - Thank you and welcome!
AHubbyof2SexualMinds - Welcome aboard!
New Subbie - I'm glad you could join us for LOL Day 6.

-
RH - Cheers to you as well and thanks for be a part of our celebration.

Morgaine - Close enough! Welcome to MBS.
Michael - I love reading everyone's blog and getting a feel for who they are. We are all so different, and yet, remarkably similar.

SG - Welcome! You're not just a lurker though. You now have a blog that everyone should visit.
Blacksilk - Close enough for LOL Day. Welcome!
OFG - Aw, thanks.
Ludwig - Thank you. Perhaps for next year we'll have to invent the phrase "seven of the best." However, that may not be good news for those of us on the receiving end!
Erica - Love you too, dear sister.
Alice - That's a great story. Welcome!
Daisy - If I'm a queen, why is my throne so darned uncomfortable. Wait, I know... :D
A'Marie - I'm glad to know you're still here. I wonder about you and your kinky little duckie sometimes.
DD - What matters is not where you delurk but that you found the courage to speak. It's much easier the second time.
J&J - That's great. Welcome!
Poured Out - I think that all of us, when we get busy, tend to drop back into lurking mode. One of the benefits of LOL Day is that it reminds us of the many interesting people and discussions around our community.
R - That's a great perspective. It's tremendous to be a part of a community where you know that people will support you when you need support and be honest with you when you need honesty. It's an honor and a pleasure to serve this group of friends.
Rodders - Yes, perhaps so!
Melinda - Hello, and welcome!
Ferns - I think that today's lurkers are tomorrow's commenters, and today's commenters are tomorrow's bloggers. When we support any portion of the community, we all grow stronger.

Dave - You're quite welcome.
Lisa - That's great. I welcome you.
Chief - As my husband reminds me, "These things do happen..."
Dr. Ken - Yes, our little spark has grown into a continuous flame.
Happy LOL Day, everyone, and thank you for making it a success!
