For awhile I was the great lurker. I have been on the boards since late 1997(four years now) and only posted maybe 100 times over a couple years. Of course now, I post at an average rate.

I remember more people on AOL posting once or twice and never coming back. It was easier to participate back then. Less people.

Thank you for clearing this up Bib (may I call you Bib?). Was there some way to search for this information or was it only available to the Admins/Mods?

Wow! Cyberian54’s AOL user name is iamanasshole@aol.com. Had to get in early to get that one I suppose.

I know I’m nowhere near a “winner”, but I will typically read/lurk at the SDMB every day.

Occasionally I’ll imagine that I’m great friends with many of the celebs of the SDMB but the only ones I’ve had any meaningful chats with have been Bricker and manhattan (and such did not take place on the SDMB).

I thought I was the lurkiest lurker until I saw this thread. Not even close! (I lurk every day by the way-just like that monkey on coke, except I still have sex and sometimes I eat.) Oh yeah, I’m usually eating while I lurk. Damn, I need a life!

Clearly, IÕm not the winner. This does look like a good thread in which to break a 1+ year silence, though.

shortly after I joined. He has never even registered, and lurks less often now that you have to cookie to search (I send him threads to look at). So does he count as an ultimate lurker?

I know there’s lots of others here with much lower posts/per/day rates, but mine is pretty low. My claim to fame (?) is that I don’t consider myself a lurker, but a full fledged poster, and yet I still have such a pathetic post count.

Well, this was a cheap +1.

Wow, folks with lower post counts than me. Cool.

Hm.

I’ve been reading on and off for about a year now.

I finally got round to registering a few weeks ago. This is my first post. Do I count?

Certainly enough to merit a “welcome to the boards”, AndLuna!

Free recipe! Count me in. Until recently our network setup would not allow me to post. Happily this has changed, but I’ve been lurking forever.

I’ve got to get in on this. I’ve been lurking since aol. I only started posting about 3 weeks ago.

Well, there’s a few that beat me but I should be up there.

Wow!! I thought I had a low post count (about a 100 post’s have been in the last 4 months), but man, some of y’all with less than 3 digit posts have been here a long time. Too kewl!!

Howyadoin Corvus corax,

Please jump into the fray!
I got your back, bro :slight_smile:

Lurking is fun!

I’ve been lurking here pretty much since the beginning of the Board. I used to take a look-see once or twice a week, but now I find myself lurking every day. Most of my attention goes to Great Debates and The Pit, though. Just got off my duff to register a few weeks ago.

Maybe now I’ll post more…

this is my second post…ever

actually that was my third…hehehe
