Lurkers

Are you a lurker?
Do you browse boards.ie while unlogged?
Well I do the same over on askaboutmoney.com, read it every day but less then 150 posts in 5 years

I've just been to personal issues forum just now where I hand out great advice :cool: (Be aware that quoting a post from that forum and putting it in AH is not cool)
But 9 posters and 55 lurkers viewing?

Come on, are you a lurker?

turn around

peanuthead · 26-09-2010 01:10AM

I can't lurk. I've tried it before but then something annoys the hell out of me or I find a question I can answer and I have to log in!

Lurked on this site for a couple of weeks, then got bored and signed up.

brummytom · 26-09-2010 01:17AM

I don't lurk on here, I waffle on on most threads.

I only really lurk on thesession.org and digitalspy

In the sense that I've a low post count given how long I've been on here, I suppose I count as a lurker. Some people have way too much to say.

starbelgrade · 26-09-2010 01:19AM

Lurking sounds slightly perverse. I might try it sometime.

I'm a recovering lurker.

Any key? · 26-09-2010 01:22AM

won't somebody please think of the children

LizT · 26-09-2010 01:22AM

I was for a while, while I tried to figure out what exactly AH was about... then I realized it was impossible to do that, so I just started posting.

Now I can't lurk because I always see posts that I want to talk / ask questions about.

LaughOrDie · 26-09-2010 01:23AM

I lurk all the time cos i dont log in in work

[Rasta] · 26-09-2010 01:24AM

I lurked for 2 years here(something like that.. just popped on once in a while), just recently decided to give it a shot at posting.
I'd say posting is fun, but lurking is just strangely satisfying sometimes haha :pac:

Mrmoe · 26-09-2010 01:30AM

Stalking is more fun:pac:

Micky Dolenz · 26-09-2010 01:32AM

Ah jayzus, what did you do that for?
That's like sending a 7stone frail individual out onto the gladiator colosseum in Rome a couple of thousand years ago!

mikemac · 26-09-2010 01:38AM

Completely lost with with that post

^^^^

Darlughda · 26-09-2010 01:43AM

My post? Its clear. Quoting from PI to AH not going to have happy outcome?

mikemac · 26-09-2010 01:52AM

Ok, get it now but it certainly wasn't clear

Ave Nocturna · 26-09-2010 01:54AM

Sort of. I don't think I've much to contribute most of the time. Trying to get into the swing of things around here!

Delicate_Dlite · 26-09-2010 03:04AM

I lurked from 2006, joined this year. I lurk daily, probably post weekly.:cool:

Layzehfoo · 26-09-2010 03:25AM

I'm a lurker.

I would have started posting, but I made the mistake of starting posting on a Commuting & Transport railway thread.

It's nasty in there, I won't post again.

Don't let that stop you, neither do most of the people in AHs.

I probably am a lurker, 840 posts in 3 1/2 years: there's people signed up since yesterday with more posts.

James T Kirk · 26-09-2010 07:47AM

I tend not to lurk on my regular forum (TCN) except maybe about 30 mins before I log on, just to get up to speed. It feels like spying otherwise - silly I know, it's on the WWW ffs. But sometimes I can't help it and get really nosey. :pac: Elsewhere it's Lurksville all the way, unless I have something to say.

Izzy711 · 26-09-2010 08:45AM

I lurk a lot.

I only put my 2 cents in if it something I can actually contribute to. A lot of times people have already made a comment similar to the one I would have made.

Elenxor · 26-09-2010 09:21AM

It's only a sin if you take pleasure in it!

sponsoredwalk · 26-09-2010 09:28AM

I've been lurking to this thread all night...

nibtrix · 26-09-2010 09:39AM

I'm definitely a lurker - I probably spend about 2-3 hours on boards every day yet I rarely post.

I actually start writing replies sometimes then think "nah, that's exactly the same point someone else made, no point cluttering up the thread with the same info over and over again".
