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...

Shawnee123 08-31-2006 04:55 PM

::disguised as lurker::

Every now and then I like to pretend I am an elephant.

::disappears into outer realm forever::

dar512 08-31-2006 05:22 PM

Many lurkers do just that. The members list is enlightening.

wolf 08-31-2006 08:29 PM

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.

lookout123 08-31-2006 08:38 PM

second verse, same as...

Flint 08-31-2006 09:30 PM

Wow! :::speechless::: 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?

:::slinks away with my tail between my legs::: I guess... I mean... seriously... Yes ma'am! You win, okay?

breakingnews 09-01-2006 04:52 AM

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.

capnhowdy 09-04-2006 08:34 PM

how 'bout lulurker? :bolt:

lulu 09-05-2006 10:41 AM

I'm slowly but surely coming out of my lurker shell. :blush:

Iggy 09-05-2006 03:09 PM

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.

Madman 09-13-2006 10:19 AM

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

Flint 10-23-2006 04:38 PM

Whoa, there! Don't intimidate them!

Trilby 10-23-2006 04:40 PM

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?

Flint 10-23-2006 04:44 PM

That's what counts as a "hard truth" in your world?

Torrere 10-27-2006 07:04 PM

My post count is over 1000, but I'm pretty much still a lurker. So, hello all!

BigV 10-27-2006 08:56 PM

How'd finals go, Torrere?

um, and you moved!

lumberjim 03-28-2008 04:13 PM

you lurkers can go screw. take take take.

Sundae 03-29-2008 10:48 AM

I love lurkers
I have my own lurker fan club and lurker stalkers
They just don't let anyone know about it

you want me to post? But lurking is so much fun.

xoxoxoBruce 04-01-2008 11:21 PM

Juju was lurking the other night.

euphoriatheory 04-01-2008 11:52 PM

purtendin' to be a lurker, instead of an EMERGING lurker...


SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to the lurker closet....

Madman 04-02-2008 09:12 AM

Hello! Thought I'd drop by and say...



Fuck you! :D

lumberjim 04-02-2008 09:26 AM

thanks for that. and don't forget to eat a dick, mkay?

elSicomoro 04-02-2008 01:44 PM

They're watching you, Jim...waiting to ambush you...waiting to pounce on the slightest infraction in their mind...

:D

toranokaze 04-03-2008 10:46 AM

Am I a lurker?

RTG 04-03-2008 11:03 AM

You speak of lurkers like it's a "bad thing"! Lurker, and proud of it!

HungLikeJesus 04-03-2008 11:11 AM

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...

classicman 04-03-2008 12:08 PM

LOL @ Flint - so true!

xoxoxoBruce 04-04-2008 12:40 AM

LJ's the only lurkerphobe.

lumberjim 04-04-2008 12:50 AM

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...

Buffalo Bill 04-04-2008 05:24 AM

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.

DucksNuts 04-04-2008 05:32 AM

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.

Sundae 04-04-2008 05:50 AM

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.

Buffalo Bill 04-04-2008 06:08 AM

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

DanaC 04-04-2008 06:35 AM

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

Shawnee123 04-04-2008 09:01 AM

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!

:)
