POLL: When you lurk . . ..

[Schadenfreude]

Me? Yep.

 

[LeiZaK]

I'm always logged in when I visit AT.

 

[JulesMaximus]

The difference between lurking and actively participating is the presence of a thread I actually want to respond to.

 

[leftyman]

neffing > lurking

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Always logged on.

I don't really lurk either.

I think a "lurker" generally wouldn't have an account and therefore he lurks... if you do have an account then you're just browsing the forums, and as JulesMaximus said I think you would post if there was a thread that interested you - not posting doesn't make you a lurker

Before I signed up for AT I lurked all the damn time. Since I signed up in October, I have read many articles but either had nothing of value to add to what had already been said, or just wasn't interested... but I'm not sure that makes me a "lurker". Just my opinion

But for the record, since I created my account, I use the auto-login feature and am always logged in when "lurking"

Bah, that's just something n00bs say to make them seem less n00bish.

 

[mjh]

thanks for giving me my first n00b-bashing now I truly feel welcome

 

[Kelemvor]

I just check the magic checkbox and never have to login again.

 

[FrozenCanadian]

I only log on when I want to reply to something. I find that when I drink I respond to everything and make people mad. If I have to login to reply I wont reply.

Same here. With every forum I use to just have cookies set to log me in automatically.

Going to start posting more?

 

[beacon]

yeah I'm looking to build a new system in the next couple months and I'll be asking for some of your professional opinions at that time.

The reason I haven't posted up till now is the Christmas season has doubled my work hours and I have been too damn busy... but it's almost all over now

 

[FoBoT]

do you get post count from lurking?

If you got post count from lurking I would be Uber Lifer LOL

I'm usually logged in while lurking.... but if you're logged in, are you really lurking?
