jjbrr Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 does the quality of the content of the posts matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I voted that I'm not a lurker. Draw your own conclusions. Then again, the quality of my reading is hardly better than my posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_R__E_G Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I voted that I am a lurker. I mostly visit the forums when I'm at work and I will typically just do a quick scan of what's being talked about. I generally do not take the time to post. For further proof consider my number of posts and the fact that I've been visiting the forums for a few years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babalu1997 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 This is a scientific experiment. Please take it seriously. (lurker=someone who only mostly reads stuff, posts very rarely if at all) This is your chance to make your voice heard!! Stop right there. My mail box has been inundated by pleas from the lurkers who are distressed because they have been outed. i recommended that they report you ti the abuse hotline.

NickRW Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 But your genuine, fully committed lurker will read the forums as a guest and won't be able to vote. If anyone as a really serious use for the numer of guest lurkers , uday might be able to provide some sort of insight. As I write this there have been 16 persons looking at the forums in the last 15 mins. 8 of which were members and 1 of which was an annonymous member - the other 7 were guests.

fyrish Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I'm a lurker. I feel I have learned a huge amount from reading posts, but I don't have a lot to contribute. I do admire people like Jillybean who ask the kind of questions I'm afraid to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegill Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I read a lot more than I write, both because it take a lot more time to say intelligible things and because I frequently find my opinion has already been more than adequately represented by the time I get to a thread.

jillybean Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hey, thanks! Being the small fry in this pool of sharks and ferocious tuna fish isn't always easy but I have learned such a lot from many helpful, wonderful forum members. Now that I have regular, live, partners I think I am becoming more of a lurker herebut I still can't resist posting the occasional hand.

Free Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I used to post a lot more, basically everything that came in my mind, but that changed when the atmosphere on the forums became hostile. I still post too much to be called a lurker though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I'm a lurker. I feel I have learned a huge amount from reading posts, but I don't have a lot to contribute. I do admire people like Jillybean who ask the kind of questions I'm afraid to ask. Post more! If uncertain about the reception your question will get, post in the B/I forum - most of the sharks are relatively well mannered when posting there - we all had to start somewhere.

sectorzz9 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Definitely a lurker. But now that I've posted this I'll probably try to post more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
