Mainly Mattias Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Lurk, lurker, or lurking may refer to: Lurker, a person who often reads discussions on internet networks but seldom contributes to them. Are you a lurker or a poster? Lurker: How long have you been lurking and why aren't you posting? Poster: How long did you lurk before becoming a poster and why did you start posting more?

AppleJack Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 When I first the forums I was totally a Lurker but over the last few months I have started to post more and more. I think I just needed to feel comfortable here more before I could post. Link to comment
Nuxfanabroad Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 This philosophy is simply an "age" issue. If you are younger, say, 20's or below, you feel it's so essential to throw in yer 2 cents. As a generation passes, & you reach late 30's/ 40's(myself), you may be content to sit back a bit, & sift through the exuberant youthful opinions... I find reading here I tend to get important info on the team as it happens. Some posters are quite well-informed & insightful; it's often enjoyable to read their info, predictions & expectations. I should stipulate in a former life I panned for gold up in the hearty Yukon. Link to comment
Caboose Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Started as a frequent poster, now I consider myself to be more of a lurker. Link to comment
Gooby Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm more of a creeper, but okay. Link to comment
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't post often, but when I do... ... it's usually misinformative, useless drivel. Link to comment
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 When I'm not on a better website, I'm posting here. Link to comment
-DLC- Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Poser. Lurker. Poster. Loser. Homer. Take your pick. I'm all of the above and then some. I lurk and then I pounce. I mean post. Link to comment
pimpcurtly Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I lurked for a little while but it wasn't long before I was compelled to chime in. Link to comment
bossram Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I used to post a ton when I first signed up for CDC. Lately I've started posting a lot less. Just getting tired of some of the ridiculousness on this board. Sometime it's just not worth it. Can't even read some threads there is so much drivel... Link to comment

Xbox Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I was a poster at first, then I turned more into a lurker. I've been posting more lately (outside of fantasy) Link to comment
Master 112 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I've always been a fairly consistent poster since I signed up, which is odd considering I usually just lurk in other places. Link to comment
Jai604 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Lurked the forums for years until I finally made an account, and then posted a crap-ton. Now, I don't post much, but according to your criteria, I would still be considered a poster. The funny thing is the lurkers will never reply in this thread, so the premise of the OP is a bit flawed haha. Link to comment
:D Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If you guys don't think that there are a lot of lurkers, take a look (at any time) how many guests are viewing rhe board compared to registered users. Kind of creeps me out. Link to comment

Peaches Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 As soon as I got an account I became a poster. Before that I was a lurker. Link to comment
