In My case, I’m pretty much a lurker, only posting rarely and only when I can feel somewhat confident about what I’m talking about. My latest activity is:
Nike Missile Computerized Guidance
My Picture:
Otherwise I pretty much stay under the radar. I have a slight habit of being not noticed. This came in handy back when I was a security guard. (Grin)

Hi. I’m BraheSilver. I like to use this board to cool off and read interesting/funny things, so most of my posts are to to joke or game threads (and we know how well those are tolerated around here). Now I don’t post as often.
I was active in the IRC room for a bit, then dropped out when I had work that made me too tired to sit in a chair all night in front of the computer after a hard day of sitting in a chair all day in front of a computer. I’ve been to a couple of DopeFests when they’re in my area.
I’m a big geek in almost every way except comics. I’m trying to write a book, and I’m a full chapter and a half into it. I’d like to think I’m pretty good at creative writing, but the best I’ve done so far is get Eve to laugh and a few others to spew various fluids.
If you can imagine a somewhat Goth-like, anglo-indian almost-lawyer, then you’d be imagining someone like Sarah Woodruff.
I’m into literature and history, among other things, and I have one of those senses of humour that finds some seriously intended comments highly amusing. (Because people are funny, yo.)
Oh yeah, in terms of posting, I go from IMHO to MPSIMS to Great Debates to some of the less vitriolic BBQ threads, with a bit of Cafe Society on the side. General Qs every now and then.
You might know me as the poster who currently bangs on a bit about Schapelle Corby.
Hello, my name is Eleusis.
I’m always late to these threads, and henceforth tend to kill them.
I’ve been known to post with a BAC approaching 0.4, and I actively endeavor to curb that destructive habit.
Though I personally think that I’m pretty harmless here, I have been known to spew vitriol. To my knowledge, I have not yet been pitted.
I used to rant in some of the more political threads, but found myself quickly outclassed.
I consider myself a “moderate libertarian” (with a small “l”), which to me means I prefer something like “Amsterstam meets utopia” . 
All the good and none of the bad, in case you’re wondering. 
Hey I can dream, right?
Here is a semi-recent pic of myself and my new wife, quite in character cradling a rum and coke.
I would like to attend a regional dopefest someday.
Pheww, now that my introduction is over with…
I can honestly say I remember over two thirds of the posters in this thread. I too maintain a high level of lurkosity, especially in my more salient moments
AMP do you by chance own any websites? No big deal, just curious, someone I used to deal with went by that screen name on another website.
Cheers
Hello. I’m very new and almost not at all interesting. I mostly lurk, but I joined up recently.
I live in Seattle and work as a phlebotomist, which means I assimilate a lot of generalized medical knowledge without the education to back it up. Currently I’m deciding whether I want to go the PA/NP route or actually go for my MD.
I’m a smartass but incredibly self-conscious on internet message boards.
Hello, I’m Seeker74. I tried to register as Seeker, but it was already taken. So I added my birth year (which annoys the hell out of me). I took my name from the Who song, mostly because “I won’t get to get what I’m after… Till the day I die.” The truth about the existance of a god, dontchaknow…
You may remember me by my threads/ responses regarding problems involving a certain sphincter, possibly my mildly funny haikus. I’m slowly building a nice post count, but I fear (read: hope) I’m mostly flying under the radar. I stumbled upon the SDMB by Googling a question (I forget which) and a Dope article was the first link. I ask a few questions in GQ, participate in a few surveys in IMHO and hang out in MPSIMS most of the time. I never post anything of substance. I visit the Pit every day, but don’t post much because I don’t want to get flamed. I never go to GD because I’m just a twitching little neuron compared to the convoluted brains in that forum.
I’ve attempted to make a few buddies off the board, but it never worked out. I think I scared them away by being too verbose, opposite of my persona here. I’m married to a dude from Scotland (you may remember me from that), and I have two cats, Norman and Mojo. I’m unemployed, but super busy taking care of my elder relatives.
<waves> Hi, everyone!
Really? I always assumed it was a reference from Futurama, for some reason. I don’t watch the show, but I could swear that I caught a scene from it once while flipping channels and there was a hotel called the Robot Arms.
And the bit about you never being pitted made me smile. Having met you, and reading your posts, which often contain a subtle humor that I appreciate, I can’t even imagine how anyone would pit you. “Ugh. That guy! His arms are so…roboty!”
This looks like a thread I should take part in.
I’m Dinaroozie. I joined here quite a while ago, but I went for a long time without posting, because I didn’t sign up right away when stuff started costing money. My posting habits aren’t exactly prolific now, though.
My experience with online boards prior to the Dope mostly revolved around the sorts of places where starting your sentences with capital letters and finishing them with full stops was enough to get you into the intellectual elite of the board more or less straight away. The necessity of posting interesting things therefore leaves me at something of a disadvantage, but I try to get by.
So anyway: I’m twenty, male, Australian, and a computer science student. I spend my time playing Nintendo, climbing trees, wasting time online, and occasionally studying. I’m tall and have long hair. My special skill is slinky-spring usage. My real name is far more unusual than ‘Isaac’ could ever be. I’ve yet to attend a Dopefest, but I would if the opportunity arose.
I guess that’s about it.

Actually, I’ve racked my brain for your name for so long now…I’m not sure I don’t know you. I am now doomed to give you extra notice forever.
I’m like this as well, with the exception of a few members with whom I meet (or clash) on various particular topics. (Errrr, make that two particular topics, music and football 
)
I tend to assume that others see it the same way - although given that I’ve got an average of 11 posts a day and haven’t been pitted, maybe I’m just part of the furniture, which I’m not sure is a good thing :dubious: …I’ve only know (knowingly) met one doper, and never even made it down the road to a Londope.
Haha! Nobody knows me cuz I’m not a member! Take that, you wanna-be obscure people! (I’m going to join for real if I decide, during my one month guestship, that I can join without this coming to rule my life.)
I have been a devotee of Uncle Cecil since high school in the 80s. I have endeavored, through tireless witnessing, to steer people to the Church of Cecil, where they might tread the One True Path.
I teach philosophy. A philosopher would probably recognize where my username comes from. I will probably never attend a dopefest unless one is held in Beirut, where I live.
Boy, this thread really scared the lurkers out of the woodwork! Quick! Shine the light over there! There’s another one! ivylass goes chasing, broom in one hand, a plate of chocolate chip cookies in the other
'Sup? I’m ZipperJJ. I’ve been around for a long time.
For I while (like, years) I just read GQ and then CS when I had the time. Then i decided reading the Pit was fun. Now I have alot more free time (read: I work at a computer all day) so I lurk ALL the forums now.
Ok all except GD because I just don’t care.
I think I’m a thread stopper. Sux.
Two of my exes are on this board. Drives me nuts. I introduced them to SDMB while we were dating. I’ve never met another Doper and I don’t think I ever will.
I like to answer q’s about computers, dogs and weightloss. Otherwise I don’t have much to contribute.
I only recognize about half the names posted here. But now I’m going to notice them all the time 
Badbadrubberpiggy here. I’m not SURE I’m unknown, but I might be. I at least recognize most of the people who have posted in this thread, so apparently they’re not as unknown as they think they are. Mostly I stick to posting in MSPIMS and IMHO, and I lurk in the Pit, because it’s fun. I’ll even answer a question in GD if I know the answer, but it’s rare I get there early enough, and I don’t like to repeat answers that have already been given.
Mostly I think I’m unkown because I did a vanity search a while back and only came up with two hits 
. It’s made me afraid to do another one.
I am calm kiwi. I post lots some days, other times I just lurk.
After lurking here for eons I suddenly felt the urge to post, I needed a name and apparently I was in an odd mood and thus calm kiwi was born, no capitals needed evidently.
I love reading the sdmb. Sometimes I post far too much.
Ooo! I’ll help. You chase them down, I’ll make more cookies.
Holy cow, Atheist Princess – I think I just went straight.
Anyway, I’m Licentious Ectomorph. Formerly known (or maybe not known) as Nordic. I always hated that name - so dull and flat - but it was all I could come up with on the spur of the moment, 'cause when I registered, the name I wanted was taken. A few weeks ago I finally got around to changing it to something a little more colorful and in keeping with SDMB tradition.
This board is something I indulge in at work to make the day go faster, so mostly I stick to the “lighter” threads. My posts tend to be pretty evenly distributed among all the forums except Great Debates. I have varying degrees of success in starting threads.
I’ve established friendly relationships with a handful of people in Cafe Society. I’ve never been to a Dopefest. There seem to be quite a few Dopers here in the DC metro area, so I keep wanting to suggest that we get together some time.
racer72 here. I usually just sit in the corner and watch everyone else. I use to drive race cars on the short tracks of the Northwest hence my user name. I build commercial airplanes for a living (737’s right now) and already have a mess of grandkids that I adore. I am also pretty good at killing threads so don’t be surprised if this one starts to sink pretty quick.
