The AH lurkers thread.

Funny to think that statistically, for every poster on After Hours, there are approximately six hundred and forty two shifty eyed, wild haired, raincoat wearing, sour milk carrying lurkers who never post, and just read all these threads with nary else on their minds but which posters they hate, and how they are going to…

Funny to think that statistically, for every poster on After Hours, there are approximately six hundred and forty two shifty eyed, wild haired, raincoat wearing, sour milk carrying lurkers who never post, and just read all these threads with nary else on their minds but which posters they hate, and how they are going to get them back for hours and hours of mindless brain wastage and gradual eyeball deterioration. (may not be true).
Well, this threads for all those fine people who watch the AH game from over the stadium wall, on a rickety wooden ladder.

So, if you are a lurker, if you've never posted in AH before, wipe the drool from your chin, pop in here and say hello. You can regale us with tales of what you lurkers do to each other while you're hiding in the shadows.

No-one likes a lurker. (that could be a good chant).

I think I may have travelled through time because of this thread, and I am mightily confused by the goings on herein.

I suppose, once a lurker, always a lurker. :rolleyes:

A lurking mod deleted the posts.

Based on many of the posts [including this one] in AH it's the high postcount posters who are "shifty eyed, wild haired, raincoat wearing, sour milk carrying..."

Pigheads old buddy Pauleeeeee used to be a cracking lurker. He's let himself down in the lurking stakes over the last year by posting more regularly but back in 2006 the lad was untouchable. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=7625

I was just thinking today: 'you know, i never post in AH'... because when I think I usually do so from various perspectives.

So I will. For once. And maybe not last time. Ever. Post.

Here's a pic:

Everybody knows that every single poster in AH is the one person with a multitude of different accounts talking to himself.

Even me, I'm just typing this so all the lurkers will think someone has rumbled me on all my accounts when in fact they haven't and this is just a clever ploy I'm using to make lurkers think it's not just me posting and arguing with myself when in fact it is just me again playing with their heads.

So what it boils down to is that AH is just me, my multiple accounts and a load of lurkers who log in every day to see what I'm typing today. Thousands of people hanging on every word I type.

so you are admitting you're responsible for this then? Shame on you!

Because lurkers realise that you cant post real comments on this board because the privately owned board ****s its pants whenever someone posts something such as 'Katy Frenchs Carpet matched the Curtains'.

Instead we prefer to create multiple ids, log on and state the facts and then watch the mods throw eppies because someone dared say it like it is.

Now go back to your arse licking, mod sucking threads.

That would be a great compliment but it's obviously somewhat devalued by the fact that it's myself complimenting myself.

I've posted a couple of times in here only, i normally just read all the threads, in fact i check here everyday but don't post... Low post count for how long i been registered too considering im normally on most days. But yeh, i just read this forum for the laugh and the odd crazy topic. And yes i do have a list of posters that i shall get my revenge on for wasting my precious reading time... I shall throw sour milk over them all!

An interesting question I've posed myself here. Yes my good man (or should I say my good self) I am completely responsible for the many conflicting and few downright unbelievable views propounded here every day. Yes lurkers you are all gaining a valuable insight into my multi-faceted mind.

It's not lurking, its contemplated thought. You high post losers just get there so quick with your inane "your ma" comments that most threads are derailed.

Oh wait, this is after hours. Yeah, you are all pervs.

~1/4 of your posts are in AH since you joined a short while ago - again, I don't think this counts as lurking really...
