WHOA! First time I've ever encountered the rare Runnerbelow!

[sub][sub]Yes, it was the Pokemon reference.[/sub][/sub]

Hah! Beware my catch rate of 3!
My moveset is recover, roar, splash, and explosion, and I used pokesav to give myself Wonder Guard as an ability.

 

[sune-ku]

Yep, I'm a massive Lurker - I've been visiting the escapist frequently for nearly 3 years...

 

[darth gditch]

Meh, sometimes. If I have nothing to add, I say nothing. But usually if I'm bothering to view the thread, I will post.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Are you comparing me to this?

Oh you meant the other kind of lurker.
I lurk the SomethingAwful forums, and sometimes here when I simply can't be bothered to write something.

 

[Phoenix Wright]

Yes I am the Lurker.

 

[Skorpyo]

I lurk far more often now than I did before.

After I post something, no matter how much time passes, I generally don't like to repeat it.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

I lurk a lot less than i used to, sometimes i just can't be bothered to post and end up just lurking a couple of interesting threads

 

[spiffleh]

I am such a lurker. But for a class I have to join and participate in an online community then 'reflect upon my experience'. Thus the occasional responding to threads.

OH SHI!!

Good thing I've been saving my Masterball!

 

[lolnoobzor]

what i would say has allready been stated by several people.

And the worst part is, what I wanted to say has been already stated by someone. How ironic.

 

[thylasos]

Well, I try not to comment redundantly, and don't arrive on the forum at times when new threads tend to be started, so my post count's not as high as it would be.

*Points at forum title*
I'm so good at lurking, I've managed to get a post count into the thousands, without anyone knowing who I am.
I actually started posting more often late 2009, so for most of that year I just lurked with this account.

You must be Future Dave then.

I'm afraid I'm either unaware or can't recall who that is.

It is both you. And I. IN HARMONY AS ONE! (dramatic cue)

So for the four people who can actually remember who I am, you probably know I'm a huuuuge Lurker. I hate it. So I'm trying to break out of the habit!

Enough about me though, what about you Escapees? How often do you Lurk? How do you feel about Lurking?

are you kidding?

i've been here for an extra year and i only have 200+ more posts

Edit: or 500... damn when did i get 1300?!

Well I didn't really lurk for the first 400 or so haha

 

[BreakfastMan]

I lurk occasionally, but I still post a healthy amount too. I used to lurk more, but I post pretty often now for some reason.

 

[Omega Pirate]

As a ratio of the threads that I post in to the number of threads I read, I'd say it's around 1:43.

 

[Canatrix]

I was a long-time lurker (didn't even have an account on the forums) but after seeing a thread I wanted to give my own two cents on something. So now, I suppose I am not a lurker. I may go back to my corner though.

 

[stormtrooper9091]

yeah i'm a quintessential lurker

 

[InnerRebellion]

I used to be. Sometimes I still am. Some days, I post in up to 40 threads, and some days, I don't post at all.

 

[drisky]

Often times the same opinion comes up over and over and if I have that opinion then I fell no point in throwing it in the sea of comments, or sometimes I'll read a third and feel I have no strong opinion on the matter.

Is lurking considered a bad thing, I mean why should it be forum etiquette to respond to everything you read?

 

[Marble Dragon]

Usually, anything I have to say has already been said, and in a more eloquent way than I'm ever going to put it. There's no point in reposting something, I think. No idea what my post count is, at least, at time of writing. I'll see when I post. Hmmm...

This is the only place that ever really makes me feel like an idiot, so that could be a part of it.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

Generally I lurk around the forums since there's usually nothing I want to post in... Unless it's something like this where I can be a total hypocrite. ^.^
