At 0.37 posts per day, I’d call myself an extroverted lurker. I do post, though not really enough for anyone to have any need to notice or remember me.
.04 posts per day lurker, checking in. Yo!
I am here every day lurking along. Typically I don’t post because I read the board at work and I get interrupted briefly, but frequently. (I’ve been interrupted three times just while typing this tiny post, for example.)
It’s not that distracting when I’m just reading, but when I’m trying to type a response and I get interrupted, I forget what I was trying to say… and I just give up.
I am without a doubt, a lurker. I have tried to get myself to post before, but I just can’t seem to do it. I’ve never liked reading my own writing, so even if I have something to add to a thread, I just keep it to myself. I find that if I’m not able to express myself using my hands and voice, a lot of what I’m trying to say gets lost.
I do read this board pretty much daily. It’s kind of weird how much I know about regular posters here, without being known by them at all.
Yeah, what he said.
Yup, I’m a lurker. Usually because what I want to say has already been said. Which, come to think of it, is true in this thread, too.
Grade A lurker here - just breaking my duck .
I think Waldo has us all beat on the post count thing. FWIW, I think you come across in writing just fine–even better than most. I think it’s a matter of just jumping in and doing it without giving it too much thought.
That’s what I’m trying to do today, at any rate.
(And I have edited this post three times in five minutes before hitting the submit button. <sigh>)
I squeeze in right under the wire at .41/day.
My wife is a major lurker but didn’t sign up when P2P came along. She’s on these boards more than I am.
I did renew since it was cheap; had it been 15 bucks, I would have let it lapse.
Lurker checking in. I check the boards pretty much every day, but end up posting pretty rarely. By the time I get there, usually what I have to say has already been said, and usually more eloquently.
Hmm, perhaps it’s time that I should start sharing my wisdom more often, rather than selfishly keeping it all to myself.
I’m a lurker here, in fact this is my first post. I tend to read the board during slow times at work but then get interrupted before I can post. Or, as it seems with some of the other lurkers, what I would’ve said has been said already.
Check the post count.
I’ve been lurking for free here for about five years, but just paid up and have NEVER posted anything. Mainly because every time I thought about posting a reply, someone else posted the same information in a much more eloquent way that I possibly could.
Howdy.
Lurker McLurkerson, here. I have the same problems listed above. In addition to that, I’ve killed a couple of threads which makes me a bit gun-shy.
So, hello. :waves:
Yep…but I’m tending away from lurking now as I have been spending time in the game room
Thanks LemmeOut.
Maybe I’ll try to change my lurking ways. It might be fun.
Lately I’ve been making serious efforts to post instead of just lurking. The Feud and Bottichelli threads have helped. But I don’t think I’m making much of a dent in my status. Heck, I haven’t even bothered to send in a request to get rid of the no-longer-mandatory underscores in my name. So who’s got too much time on their hands and wants to calculate our individual and group average posts per day (preferably with a conversion factor to posts per lurker per hour)?
I’m thinking we might be onto something here. Two first posts? And we’ve got Waldo up to 11 posts? Holy moley! Let’s run with this!
Waves to Jaymosch and Kolga! Hi!!!
I’m truly curious as to what made each of you post today after being so quiet. I talk to my monitor out loud, as I read, about what I’d like to say, and I’m pretty smart and eloquent. But why, oh why is it SO hard just to type it and hit submit?
(only 20 minutes of editing this time–I’m getting better, maybe?)
Hi (waves back).
For me, it’s because you people scare the crap out of me. (that’ll be the last use of smileys for me for the next five years). I’m afraid that I’ll type something that’ll sound incredibly intelligent in my head and when I read it, but actually more resembles my dog walking across the keyboard.
Daily lurker, infrequent poster. I joined the same month as the OP and have about 10 more posts. So I’m also at 0.17/day. And about 50 of those posts came since the Game Room opened and I played a bunch of feud and Madness games.

I am not the lurker you are looking for.

Count me in… been roaming this pages for almost 8 years now.
Wow.
A whopping 0.14 posts per day. It’s a wonder I get anything done around here.
