Lurkers Anonymous: Roll Call Part II

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
141

Just a reminder: On Sunday, I’m planning to post the final update to the listing I have been keeping in Notepad that has all the Lurkers from this thread and the older one I started a few years back.

Since the old thread’s post counts haven’t been updated (they are just snapshots of the way things were when I copied the data) it’s quite possible that people will be shown as Lurkers who have gone on to become conspicuous posters here. You’ll be able to tell who I mean when the list goes up.

If you want your name to be associated with the ones listed 15 posts ago, please respond to this thread by Saturday night.

Thanks.

As you note, there’s no real purpose to this but I love stats and have tended to compile lists in the past for no particular purpose. Figure you may as well add me:

There should be some kind of definition for what constitutes a true lurker. We only have each person’s word to go on for how often they view the SDMB but I’d say they need to average logging in once every couple days or so. For the post count my suggestion would not necessarily be a total post count but based on posts per day. It should be much less than 1, I suggest maybe 0.5. This way folks joining in '99 with over 1,000 posts could still be considered lurkers, but someone on here for a couple months with only a few dozen wouldn’t be.

143

I was a near-daily lurker for at least a year before I joined.
I’ve posted only one OP, and it was a late-night indulgence with no replies.

Has Cecil been mentioned yet? 152 posts since 3/3/99, for an average of .04

144

I meet the OP’s lurker qualifications. I have 0.4 posts per day, though I’m trying to post more often. I do read the boards several times a day though.

145

I’m a lurker too. I read the shit out of the boards but my average is still .14

146

I have been a lurker for about 2 years and just joined as a guest about 2 weeks ago. I think this may be my second or third post!

147

Lurker representin!

Although, in all honesty, I’ve been lately trying to post a bit more.

148

It occurs to me now, after posting, that I’ve been a member for 7 and a half years. I joined the dope at age 12!?!?! Wowzers.

149

That is quite impressive. What’s the most astounding thing you have learned exclusively here? The most exciting? The funniest? The most disgusting?

150

With .88 posts per day, I’m not sure where I fit in. Not quite a lurker, not quite a regular, recognizable poster. I’m what, a t’wurker?

151

Not to worry. I’m putting your data on the file. You and others can judge for yourselves.

My post count/average is deceptive in that I’m on-again-off-again in my habits here: a flurry of activity for a few months then an absence of several. When I’m here I definitely don’t lurk!

Cognitive dissonance is making it exceedingly difficult for this daily lurker to post.

Hello everyone, I’m Polly, and I’m a lurker.

155

I lurk. Lots. Sometimes I go through brief phases of posting, and then I… fizzle out and go back to lurking.

156

I rarely feel like posting, but I love reading threads here.

157

I think I am still under 250 posts for 4+ years. This place does intimidate me, even when I consider myself a subject matter expert.

158

Funny. I wasn’t expecting a response until the next lurker thread.

159

I’m lurking on the lurker thread!
