okr said: @RAcCoOnErOuS: You said "i don't have much to say" and I think this applies to all of us, especially to the ones who post regularly. Even with more than 3500 during the past 5 years I still consider myself some kind of lurker as well, mainly because I'm not really interested to get into discussions with other users. I just read the forums and occassionally post lists of most anticipated games or something like that. 90% of my posts are lists of some sort and I rarely reply to replies to my post. I think most people still don't know me which is absolutely fine with me as I don't know most people either (and find many of the better known members, who love to vote for each other in "member of the year" theads and to tell each other how great they are, incredibly self-centered. The pinnacle of redundancy.). Now the most important question for lurkers would be: If they mostly lurk and can't be bothered to post more often, why are they even here? I'm still searching for an answer. BTW: My most favorite VGC lurker is the one who managed to post only 22 times in the 5 years of his membership. Almost all of his 22 posts can be found in Smeags' Vote Now! threads, the last one on Decmeber 2011. |
I know you, if I'm not wrong you are from Germany (you speak german and I don't think you are Austrian as Rol) And you are a PC Gamer. I'd say more but then it would be quite akward.
OT I'd like to consider myself a lurker, can't remember exactly why I registered an account, as I use the site mostly for the numbers. Probably to be able to see more posts in the forums. I used to like the prediction threads back in 2007.
And as somebody wrote before, its definately better to be a lurker than a spammer.
