I don't bite. I am just tired of seeing a thread with 30 views and 1 reply.

Understandable, but keep in mind I view a post at least 7 times to make sure I got it right. /images/graemlins/wink.gif Half of all the total views on these forums are mine./images/graemlins/grin.gif

Don't ask me to back that up. /images/graemlins/ooo.gif

At least I hadn't shown up yet....
I tend to be the last post in many threads I post in.

There are just a lot of posts that require no reply.

Are you referring to "linkin park?"

I mostly lurk these days.

Every once in awhile I have something important to say.

Like this thread for instance /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Check out my registration date and my number of posts. I may a week or two occasionally without logging on to 2+2, but usually check out what is going on pretty often.

Anybody out there with more time as member and less posts?

I am trying to do my part to change this, but by the time I read most posts, what I have to say has already been said.

TSC,
My apologies.
I would estimate that my posts read to posts made ratio stands at about 1854:1. Surely I can do better, and you have inspired me to do so. Actually, I'm pretty sure I was told that my computer at work is great for making 2+2 posts. Also, porn. I'd write more, but my afterbirth milkshack moustache is starting to dry on my upper lip.
Cheers,

Zok

All 30 views are probably me. I see some thread with a vague title. I view it. It's not worth responding to so I don't. Five mins later I see it again and view it again because the title is so vague I forgot it. Chalk it up to a combination of my early alzheimers and people's poor thread titling. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

who the hell would lurk in the OOT forum? i can understand lurking in the small stakes forum and stuff, but seriously, thats just dumb. i respond to less than half of the posts I read, which im sure is how most ppl are.

I think some people are afraid to look like an idiot. I don't know about you guys, but I always worry that I am going to embarrass myself in front of a bunch of anonymous internet forum users. Its so worrisome, what will they think of me?! /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I dunno about that. Remember about a week or two ago a new poster posted here about how whatever he posts gets severly flamed. Everyone here just flamed him more. poor kid...

ThaSaltCracka
12-06-2004, 12:10 PM
you make it sound a lot worse than it was. I don't think he feels like he got flamed.

Edit: His thread was basically called "everyone on 2+2 is an ass hole" what did he expect? Most people on here are sarcastic.

I'd say way less than half the threads are either of interest or just worth posting to. I don't think the views corresponds either because even on threads I'm interested in, I don't post a response every time I view the thread.

Ditto. But TSC, so you know you can count 1 view and 1 post of this thread to me. I probably wont click on it again.

Later.

I embarassed myself enough today, no more posting for me /images/graemlins/smile.gif. I used to lurk some of the on topic forums, but once i found the off topic ones i've been posting a lot more. I still mostly lurk the on topic ones though, other than B & M.

you cannot be the biggestlurker as anyone who has been registered for 1 day with 0 posts has fewer posts/day than you.

2 problems with that..1 is how do you know that everyone that looked at it was a lurker? Could just be a really shitty post and even the constant posters didnt feel moved to respond.

2nd problem is that as a lurker I only read certain peoples posts. You for example, are good for a couple of sarcastic comments that make me laugh. I don't read entire threads, just the ones from posters that I have found interesting and/or informative. If I come upon the thread you mention above and it is posted by someone I don't pay attention to and no one that I pay attention to has responded, I don't even open it.

By the way, I am not the least bit concerned about being flamed or embarrassed but how many responses can you read in the semi weekly who is hotter thread?

Tell you what though, since you called me out I am coming out of the shadows.

Fred G Sanford told me about this tonight on the phone and I had to see it myself.

For the record, I usually refer to lurker and friend Fred G Sanford in at least 100 of my posts.

Agreed. Most would consider him a legend.
