Thus is my 808th post with an average post frequency of 0.4 per day, joined in 2003.
Hi to all my fellow lurkers and occasional joiners of threads.
I’m appealing to posters in this thread for some help.
I want to update my Notepad file so I can update the list of Lurkers that I had posted several time in the previous thread.
I have copied the three pages and stripped them down to just basic poster data of Post number, date and time, Poster’s name, Member Status, Join Date, and Number of Posts.
Unfortunately, my member status has reverted to Guest since I have yet to renew. That means I can’t see the post counts on the posters below.
If you can provide the post count for anybody below, then please:
-
check to see it hasn’t already been posted, and
-
copy the poster’s data and paste it into a reply post and add the post count
Thanks in advance.
Here’s the list as of Post # 114 by MemoryDump. It is in Post # sequence for (hopefully) ease of reference in the thread.

With this post, I should be at 579 posts. I still lurk, though I’m in another posting semi-frenzy lately. We’ll see how long it lasts.
Okay! Here’s a summary of this thread before I start the process of merging this info in with the previous thread’s summary. I’ll give this a few days (let’s say a week or so) so that anybody who wants to provide post counts for anybody in the list above can have time for it.
I have applied no value judgments of who might have too heavy a post count to be a true “Lurker” and have instead just organized the data. Apologies for the reduced size, but I thought that better than having to scroll across for all the info.
Comments welcome on how to proceed further.

Zeldar, I’m not sure why you can’t see post counts for these people- I’m a guest and I was able to see their profiles. Anyway, here’s your list, updated with post counts:

You had WomanofScorn in there twice so I deleted one. Hope this helps!
Thanks for all of this, Bumbershoot. I don’t know either, unless it’s that I didn’t take time to click on each username and look up their profiles. I assumed that Members would see on the thread those same numbers, but that Guests would not. And yes, I did try to remove dupes, unsuccessfully it appears. But I’ll get your numbers incorporated into the file and post a new update of this thread’s data in the next 24 hours. Merging with the old thread’s data will still be a next weekend task.
Thanks again! Nice work.
Here’s the update with the Guest data included. I omitted

because I can’t see how 13,541 posts makes one a Lurker and because the length of the username would have forced a realignment of the data, which I would have to have done manually. I mention this in case LOUNE wonders about it.
I will wait until next weekend to post the merged and updated total Lurker file so that other Lurkers can get in on the action. Any new posts will be added to the data before then. And I will post that here as opposed to the older thread. The fuzziness of Guest data being included (because of the free posting since the old thread went up) will or ought to be easier to accept by posters in this thread.
I have been remiss in not thanking Hirka T’Bawa for picking up the ball on Lurkers Anonymous after I had let it slide for so long. Thanks again to Bumbershoot for looking up the post counts on Guests.
Thanks to all participants. There are a lot of Lurkers here. No telling how many more had rather keep that quiet.

Is it too late to put my name in?
Never too late for the thread. It’s just that wherever things stand by next weekend is where I’ll take the snapshot for summarizing the data (as above). These summaries take up way too much space, and I’m not even sure how much value they have. It’s just a way for me to spend some time.
I’ve heard no complaints. I’ve heard no praise. So I’m humoring myself mostly.
But in direct answer to your question, for the benefit of other Lurkers out there: post away! It’s a harmless way to indicate your presence at the SDMB without having to defend it or explain it. Bump your post count (if any) by 1. See what sort of company you’re keeping.
Hi. I’m a lurker too.
Lurker Sefton reporting.
Whew! There’s my quota for March. Back to the shadows.
Join date 6-17-2003 681 posts.
Make that 682 posts.
I’ve been trying in vain to get my wife to post here. But she absolutely won’t. Her account is cubester, and she’s made seven posts over the years, but she’s a daily lurker.
She’s also stubborn as a mule.
Nice idea, flyboy, and since you vouch for cubester, I’ll include her.
If others know of true Lurkers who are shy or otherwise won’t post for themselves, as long as you include in your post these details, I can copy/paste this info into the summary file:
cubester

Please include those pieces of information (or the counterparts) so the copy/paste is all I need to do. The info is available in their profile.
Fair enough?
I this thread
Daylate has posted 103 times since 1999.
Thanks, Cicero, but to save me the time and effort of looking up the data, please include these details for your find(s):
Daylate Member Join Date: Dec 1999 Posts: 103
The thread link, authenticating the find is a good idea, too.
=========================================
If others want to join in the search for other Lurkers, that will be way cool.
Can we get some ideas on what Lurker really implies about posting frequency? I’m of the opinion that once per day is too often to be a Lurker.
But how often? Or what posting percentage?
I won’t remove any names from the already accumulated data, but for future reference in this thread what are your thoughts?
In my post I included a link to the thread.
Yes, you did. And I said that’s a good idea, too.
But my appeal was for the details available in the thread, not just the link. A copy/paste of those details will save me the time of tracking them down.
Same with the link to the user’s profile, for those going that route.
Thanks again for the help.
Here.
