Okay folks. This is a thread for the lurkers...you know, the ones who watch secretly from the dark recesses, with barely a word. So even though it might LOOK empty in here, this is probably the busiest thread around. You just can't see us!bigsmile

But a lurker, by definition, lurks. We don't post often. So if you happen to be a lurker, this is the place to come hang out and not be seen!laugh

If you're looking for a lurker, you can check here, but you might want to yell when you arrive...we operate in stealth mode most of the time. :wink:

I'll be lurking around though. It's what I do. And now I have my own special room to do it in. Woo Hoo!!:banana:

Welcome to the Lurker's Lair! waving

I'm looking for a lurker. Actually, I could use about six of them. "Personal Assistants," heh.

Well, we might be lurkers but we're not stupid. We could probably figure out by your 25,000+ posts that you weren't of the lurking variety Lex, which leaves the looking for a lurker option... but thanks for clarifying. We know you're superb with the words.

You forgot to YELL to let 'em know you're here looking!:tongue:

Lurkers, I know you can't post here by definition, but for God's sake, send Lex an email. He's one of the good guys.:thumbsup:

Don't shoot the messenger Lex. You know it's true.:wink: Hope this helps in your pursuit.flowerforyou

As long as you don't say "nice guy" -- that could ruin my credibility, such as it is....

I'd like to point out that, as I am now the author of 4 books, with more to come, there is every possibility that one or more of them will be made into movies or TV shows or comic books or t-shirts or coffee mugs or theme parks or hotels or something. Which means I am going to be filthy rich at some point between now and the year 2170. Just a word to the wise lurker, allegedly.

We just do it quietly!:banana:

Welcome lurker. Congrats on making your first post! drinks

Careful though...if you post here too much, you might lose your lurker certification. I wonder if delurkerized is a word. If not, I might have to invent it after this thread!laugh

I looked like the above picture yesterday after I pulled an all nighter the night before. Had to write a 15 page paper when I got home at 10pm from the chem exam I bombed big time.frustrated

Haven't had time to lurk, but I'm lurking now. bigsmile

Glad to not see all the lurkers still here.:tongue:

I think it's a bit strange to just sit here and follow people around... seems a serous lurker has some issues, or maybe just needs to get a life. I mean, I post alot, I'm on here alot..but just quietly watching others...something about that just doesn't settle with me.

In theory!

Kind of like God or Bigfoot though, or "THE ONE", except he's less hairy than the first two.

Can't see 'em, but they're out there, supposively.

I think it's a bit strange to go out and get completely wasted on a Friday night, pick up some stange piece of arse, and sleep with it. But it happens every Friday night all over America. Doesn't make it wrong, or weird. To each their own.:thumbsup:

Some people aren't social and prefer to interact rarely. Some people post on every topic. Just because I lurk and read posts but don't voice my opinion very often doesn't make me "unsettling". I assure you dear, I'm harmless.laugh

But I get what you're saying. Lots of people think the same thing.

This thread was more of a way to get those who are afraid to post to come out of the closet. I mean, you've been here awhile...you see the way they eat newbies!laugh

oh no..your trying to bring them out of their shell and I probably just made them feel worde...sorry slaphead

You post and I'm quite sure your harmless, I think most lurkers are probably harmless. Never thought about the 'shy' angle. Yep, I was one of those 'eaten newbies' once. I fired back and could give a rats azz what people think or say about me..I realize all are not like that.

It's strange to bring strangers home from a bar on a Friday night???
hummm. I did not know that. Does that mean I have to stop doing it?

:laughing:

You can do whatever your little heart desires! You're a big girl!:banana:

I think most people think lurkers are weird and creepy. Of course, most shy people feel weird and creepy so maybe that's a bit ironic.

I don't post much, so technically I think I'm a "lurker".ohwell

I just come here to relieve boredom, escape Chemistry for a bit, and so I can tell my mom I'm looking for "THE ONE". laugh

at least someone got it right..
lurking can be attributed to shyness,in some cases.( hint hint )

also,sometimes the topics are just so bland,theres nothing to reply to,esp if someone has already said what i was thinking.

its a common problem on chatsites,finding people who actually discourse about things of interest/intelligence.

newbies..ha!
having been thru the trial of fire,along with suffering thru the utter denial and Rude attitude some people here have towards NICE guys,lol,i can understand why some dont come back.

heres wishing the lurkers and newbs the best.
