Lurkers: Post Once
No pressure. I just think it would be funny if you popped in, made one random comment, and then vanished back into the outer realms...

Many lurkers do just that. The members list is enlightening.
Flint, you clearly do not understand the culture here.
Lurkers lurk. Every now and again one of them, after years of membership, decides they have something to say. Do not intimidate them into doing so. Actually, intimidating them into doing so has a probability of running them off.
This place is what it is, flint. You cannot remake it in your own image.
[SIZE="3"]Wow![/SIZE] [COLOR="Gray"]:::speechless:::[/COLOR] Am I in the right thread? I figured people knew how to take things as a joke...
"intimidating" ??? That's some harsh language! "remake it in your own image" ??? What does that even mean?
[COLOR="gray"]:::slinks away with my tail between my legs::: [/COLOR]I guess... I mean... seriously... Yes ma'am! You win, okay?
your little experiment failed, anyway. only one lurker posted.
do i make two? i am more or less a lurker. in the past, though, i was simply too drunk or stoned to write anything coherent, and usually passed out before hitting the post button.
*waves* and fades away...

Michael: Stanley, see this? This is this. This ain't something else. This is this. From now on, you're on your own.
whatever the cause for your entrance... welcome squeak.
Holy crap Squeak is the true definition of the word lurker, member since 9/04 posts =1 today! I thought I was kinda lurky...now which corner was I standing in...oh ya...
I'd post more but really everything I might say is said better by the regulars. And i mean, everything.
*waves* and fades away...
Thanks Squeak, but you forgot the smilie.:lurker:
:lol:
I refuse to respond to the term 'Lurker' :hide:
:p
how 'bout lulurker? :bolt:
I'm slowly but surely coming out of my lurker shell. :blush:
I used to lurk, but then I found I had stuff to say from time to time, and I got in on the quick posting threads (i.e. word association, Q & A, etc). I prefer to lurk most of the time though.
I'm not sure if I qualify as a lurker. Fuck it! I'm a lurker... Ain't that a :nadkick:

No, but they're damn hard to light.
Welcome to the Cellar, next time you post it won't seem so perverted. :D
Whoa, there! Don't
intimidate them!
A Hard Truth: lurkers lurk coz they're into READING--get it?
They don't need to participate--reading gets them off just fine. Who are we to argue with success?
That's what counts as a "hard truth" in your world?

Lucky, lucky Bri .....
My post count is over 1000, but I'm pretty much still a lurker. So, hello all!
How'd finals go, Torrere?
um, and you moved!
you lurkers can go screw. take take take.
I love lurkers
I have my own lurker fan club and lurker stalkers
They just don't let anyone know about it

Lurky big-time! Say heeelllloo!!
Well it is good to see you anyway.
No pressure. I just think it would be funny if you popped in, made one random comment, and then vanished back into the outer realms...
you want me to post? But lurking is so much fun.
Juju was lurking the other night.
purtendin' to be a lurker, instead of an EMERGING lurker...

Back to the lurker closet....
Hello! Thought I'd drop by and say...
Fuck you! :D
thanks for that. and don't forget to eat a dick, mkay?
They're watching you, Jim...waiting to ambush you...waiting to pounce on the slightest infraction in their mind...
:D
You speak of lurkers like it's a "bad thing"! Lurker, and proud of it!
No, no. Lurkers are just standing in the shadows of love.

I never said it was a bad thing. I think the post-whores get off on imagining an invisible audience reading their posts...
LJ's the only lurkerphobe.
the ONLY one? no one else gets a little creeped when someone decloaks after having lurked for 2 years? even momentarily?
and i wouldnt go so far as to label it a phobia....im not skeered....just...
Some peoples are shy, like myself. Plus you all look like you know each others and I hesitate to enter a conversation between friends.
Also, I'm french speaking and my english may not be good enough to participate on a regular basis, but if I write short phrases I should be OK.
I read a lot of the post and it's interresting and fun and I will try to participate even more in the future.
There should be a thread where new members could introduce themselves to the regulars.
Hiya Buffalo Bill :)
There's always room for more in the cellar. Never mind if you dont think your english is up to scratch, English is the first language of a few here that I can understand.
Im a sucker for a French accent anyways.
Don't worry Bill, I was wary of such a close knit group when I joined, and I was accepted pretty quickly. Lurk if it makes you happy, but you're welcome to join in if you'd rather.
I read a lot of the things that you 2 wrotes and I think that it must not have been to hard to get accepted. You usualy post interesting comments, you're both articulate and funny.
I will do my best to be a good member.
Thank's for the welcome
Yey! Welcome to the Cellar Bill!
You'll do fine here. Many people start out a little shy. It can be daunting stepping in to a conversation between friends, as you say. I think that's why so many people make their first entrance through the Image of the Day thread.....there's something there to comment on that isn't dependant upon the dwellar's conversation. Makes a good 'in'.
@ torakanaze.....not sure if you qualify for lurker status...but you qualify for dwellar status :P
Welcome Buffalo Bill!
We don't mind a little language barrier, in fact, we think it's downright charming.
Just jump in when you feel comfortable!
:)

Although... I kinda doubt Squeak will be back. :( [SIZE="1"]<sigh...>[/SIZE]
Bump ^ ... :folks:
Just thought I'd drop in and waste some bandwidth...

Just you, I think.
I find it rather, uh, interesting in a very odd sorta way.

Still alive. Not as busy as I used to be. I delegate now. Delegating work is a good thing. Should have been doing it years ago.

Hey check it out! This one's still with us. Member profile says he last visited yesterday. Will you come back and make a five-year anniversary post in this thread, Orbert?

Clodfobble,
..., you clearly do not understand the culture here.
Actually, I think I've posted twice since then. Maybe once. Usually, by time I get to a thread, there's nothing left to say that hasn't been said many times over, so I just read.
I ain't buying it. The trick is to start with the recent threads on top, there's always a thread with only 1 or 2 posts in it. Jump in there, and save someone else the effort of always making the witty yet insightful posts. It's hard work having to be brilliant all the time, you know!
So how about it? Got a wife? Kids? What's your weirdest hobby?
Hallo Madman!
Hello Dana. Hope all is well for you.
Usually, by time I get to a thread, there's nothing left to say that hasn't been said many times over, so I just read.
I agree. By the time I get to looking and reading it seems as though the discussion has fizzled or I really have nothing to say.
It's hard work having to be brilliant all the time, you know!
Clodfobble? brilliant? :lol2:
Still lurking too, almost nothing to say, but I check in a couple of times a week.
Here is an amazing lurker --- a member for 8 years and only 13 posts.
C'mon - give us one!
So just how long have you an Tallania been an item, Lookout? :eyebrow:
