Hey Lurkers! Yeah you!

[muffins]

So as most of you can tell theres about 40-50 of us who actively post on these boards. Until recently I never thought twice about it, but take a look at these numbers compared to us.

I just want to really encourage all the guests and other such lurkers to register an account and post! Don't be afraid :) The more people we get posting the more fun of a place it will be around here.

...The more people we get posting the more fun of a place it will be...

Or it could very well be the exact opposite, you never know...

[kitson]

yep, all depends on what type of people they are :rolleyes:
Would be nice to see them all posting though.

[samureye]

Yeah, you lurkers you, come out of hiding, post something, anything!

[masherscf]

It's my opinion that people lurk because they honestly have nothing to add. In which case, forcing them to participate would be a mistake.

A friend of mine lurks forums for that very reason. also he's a bit anti social, even online, lol.

[frodosringfinger]

</lurk>
<spam>

[muffins]

Hmm. So many of you posting as if you know why they don't post. I'm sure it makes them feel good when you just add "They're just gonna spam up the place."

[comhcinc]

i have been contacted by 4000 lurkers and they all say they would post if you would just go away :D

Agreed.

But also it can be intimidating to step into an online group where you know no one and everyone else seems to know each other well.

[xibalba]

Yea look how long it took for me to start posting on a regular basis. Lurked for awhile before I registered in 2005 then only had like 2 post after that. Didn't start posting alot until Dec. 2006

[j34nn07]

Yeah... Lurkers... Beer helps me find new friend IRL and on the net too... So drink and post....

/joke/but/

But Lurkers : Maybe you don't post but... do you read the forum's topics ? Or you just registered on the forum for mothing.... ?

[waldingrl]

I'm back! :) It's hard (and intimidating) to get your feet wet in a forum.

If any picks on you, I'll use the weight of my post-count to shut them up. Of course, I have it on good authority that as long as you're not a ass, the mods will stick up for you.

[sugarsickness]

It's ok, a lot of men like asses.


Wait, maybe I'm thinking of something else :confused:

Hey, I just read the thread. Another girl! Stay!

[ariastar]

LOL, yeah, I was on my way to being the top poster before you even started, and I registered a year after you! Hell, I hadn't even heard of Digg/nation or any of this stuff until almost a year after you.

[ariastar]

It's true, i'll stand up for anyone that'll rub my tummy and scratch my ear.

You damned *****.

(SORRY! You know it HAD to be said.)

[ariastar]

You damned *****.

(SORRY! You know it HAD to be said.)

Hey! That blows. Why do we have filters here when it's so easy to get around them? I mean, what's wrong with a pussy cat?

[xibalba]

I been here since it started. I use to read Alex's blog when he actual updated it and soon as he said he and Kevin was starting a show I had it bookmarked ready and waiting to watch it everyweek. Just afraid of posting I guess until a few months ago.

[ariastar]

:mad:

;)

I'm back! :) It's hard (and intimidating) to get your feet wet in a forum.

Well, all you need to know is that everyone who posts regularly is cool. We have something like three (now four) girls. (Anyone know where DF is? And it's kinda like family. We're all always proclaiming love for each other and getting into orgies. j/k on the orgy-thing! I'm the resident goddess who's one of the few people to have been to the Digg studios and has some interesting numbers in my cell phone, and Klitzy is the resident kid-we-pick-on-for-being-a-virgin-but-we-all-actually-hope-he-still-is. Token is the token user who dispenses good advice when needed, and Samureye is the young guy who thinks he's a badass for being a mod so young. What am I missing?

[ariastar]

Oh yeah. You get your feet wet by stepping in the water. Congrats! You did that. :)

[ariastar]

If any picks on you, I'll use the weight of my post-count to shut them up. Of course, I have it on good authority that as long as you're not a ass, the mods will stick up for you.

I'll use the weight of my even heftier post count to shut YOU up. :) Love ya!

[ariastar]

You're just willing to take what you can get. If you took it by choice, cool. But you're just desperate. Makes me think of that scene in Clerks 2....

Eh, you fell in love with me and that lured you out of lurker-dom. :D

[xibalba]

and got semi-accused of stalking. :D Lucky that didn't bother me and drive me away back into lurker-dom. But better to be safe than sorry and ask on your part eh.

[ariastar]

ROTFLOL, I forgot about that! But it DID seem you were semi-stalking because you VERY often posted in whatever thread I did almost immediately after, and rarely anywhere else for a while! Dude, I'm so sorry! But it's funny to laugh at now!!

[xibalba]

Those were to be the most active topics at the time as well. Plus I stayed in general and Diggnation area so I had to start somewhere in those areas just happened to be on around the same time. I can see why it did seem that way. :D

[georgiepiebob]

*considers de-lurking..*

*decides to stay in hiding* .... aww crap.. i think they saw me...

You're stuck here! I'm going to get some duct tape to make you stay.

[xibalba]

Everyone is nice in there own way. Though some tend to "bite" when you disagree with them but not to bad just ignore them when they do let'em fight amoungst themselves. Some may seem strange, a little crazy, or evil they usally aren't once ya get to know them. :D

[comhcinc]
