View Full Version : For those who lurk!
Everytime I go onto the "Who is Online" section there are loads of people who I've not seen post on here and they are usually private messaging!
Come on you lurkers! Introduce yourself....tells us how long you've been lurking and what the crack is!
Who is going to be the first to say hello to all your fellow orgers?
We don't bite....hard...
I have noticed something to saveman you are on your 999 post lol

Most internet groups / forums have a high percentage of those who just read, and do no write. I used to think this was wrong and said so. Nowadays I'm more resigned to the 'to each their own' philosophy. I just think the writers should be pleased that the readers are interested enough to 'lurk'.

I have to admit, to begin with, I as a lurker. But, after a few days, I couldn't contain myself any more. I don't know how they can manage to do it?:confused: :Razz
There must be some that would like say something profound!
C'mon Lurkers! Lets hear ya!
I was a lurker for a while...how i managed that i'll never know...now i can't keep my hands off the keyboard[lol]
Come on lurkers...don't be shy!
surely loads o people have a wee lurk to see who is on and what the crack is. when the crack is good just sign in.
I have noticed something to saveman you are on your 999 post lol
Saveman..... I consulted my Angel Numbers book, for the number 999 it says........ "Get to work, Lightworker! The world needs your divine life purpose right now. Fully embark upon your sacred mision without delay or hesitation." :)

Hola amigo Buttercup,Que pasa?
Did anybody else see Ned on yesterday? 1 post & somebody got suspended as well, so I find that very suspect. Not A Lurker for very long eh?[lol] :lol:
All Lurkers welcome but watch that Saveman, he's got some stange ideas:lol:

Buttercup don't listen to Gleber2. Saveman is a sweetheart.
As to the serious lurkers, let them be. I have a hard enough time keeping track of all the orgers as it is.
But, to those who have taken the plunge, welcome. C.org is a wonderful place to be.
Its quite funny how annoyed some lurkers get... yet they don't post :D

If they are lurking, then I have a sneaky suspicion it's because of that old Caithness adage: where through fear of scorn and ridicule, it would be better to keep silent than push your head above the parapet and make your own opinions known.
_awayoflife_
16-Mar-06, 09:08
i used to to that too :( =P just commin out of my shell lol but caithness.org has changed my lurking ways lol[lol]
OK, I guess it's time to put my hand up and be counted.
I've been lurking for a very long time, not as Pepsi says through fear, but more lack of time. There's been a number of threads that I've felt the urge to get stuck into but worried that'll I'll never get any work done ever again!
I mainly lurke to get the crack, see what's happening in god's county and find out what's getting the fishwives excited this week.
There have been some fabulous debates over the last wee while (and maybe some not so notable ones!) I'm looking forward to getting involved.

I'll try to keep my strange ideas to myself while the lurkers settle in.....then I'll pounce! ;)

H'lo all. I've been a lurker for a long, long, long time and enjoy coming on to the message boards to see what the crack is, who's bickering with who and what issues are getting everyone riled up. I've learned a thing or two from more 'knowledgeable' people and some posts have made me think long and hard about issues that I would otherwise have disregarded.
Don't often have time to post (but made this an exception) and would like to thank all the regulars for their informative and entertaining debates that make us lurkers want to lurk in the first place.
xxxooo

You've nailed it squeezy. There is a tendancy to race to the screen and put all non-essentials aside. The word "housework" may never again cross your lips. You will find a wonderful community of people, most of whom you will really get to know through the PM system. A few weeks ago, someone observed it as the "secret life of ants." Welcome to this great place.

Hi squeezy - nice to see another "squ" person here - i have been the only one for a whiley
Enjoy it its fun[lol]
Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a welcome section, where people can introduce themselves and get a nice welcome from all the Orgers.
Then new members could feel welcome and not be frightened to post.

Good idea Erli! If this thread has proved anything (apart from my posting addiction- i gotta go cold turkey!) it's proved that there are orgers out there who just need a bit of encouragement.

Gleeber2, should there be two i's at the end of illegitimi? I just looked up the meaning:roll: and could only find it spelt with one i.
I was hoping that some-one like you would put me right if I were wrong and I was right and wrong.:~( Thank you!!
well going by what a cameron tells me there's no competion on the quiz's cos he always wins [lol]
Yes, billy boy, A C always does extremely well. So lately part of the fun has become trying to outscore him.
Please join us for the quiz. It is an incredible experience of cyber reality. Golach always has a pot of tea ready. We make cake for your birthday. Fruit is poured liberally. (The term fruit comes from the weight loss thread. Wine is considered by the club members to be a "fruit" in the food group categories.) With the still to be perfected internet as our means of communication for the quiz, often the answers appear before the questions. I hope that you are getting the picture that this is not a group to be intimidated by. Some of the org heavies do play. But the peace keepers are there to keep them in place.
If you have questions, just ask. There is always someone around to answer them. Often, in what is my late evening, there are very few active members on the board. Sometimes it is just the three North American housewives sitting back at the end of a busy day. Other times I am aware that there are lurkers out there. It is comforting to see the names of Madpict and Jaws also online. With names like that there is a sense of protection. You see, one easily switches from a cyber environment to the feelings we generate in reality back to the cyber world.
Welcome new orgers. Saveman isn't normally quite this talkative. He must be having a slow day at the office.
I was a lurker for a couple of weeks but only because i was to scared to post incase i was lynched lol
Must admit I do tend to lurk at times, happens about once a month as a rule [para] Dont know why......knida get a strange feeling like Krieve says that someones out to get you [para]
have a wee lurk to see who is on and to see what the hubbys latest jokes are from the previous night. he is bound to read this in a while so hi to him.
With all these lurkers coming out the closet, I thought I'd go back in for a day or two and try to find out what was so interesting about the place. But I stumbled across two familiar characters from Dirlot in a chest of drawers and that was the end of my lurking for another day. Sad really. Does anyone have a cold turkey I can borrow for a day or two? Someone had some left over from Christmas? Is it still fresh?
So much for my disguise. I thought no-one would recognise me in my new outfit. :o
probably only the star wars fanatics.

I am absolutely dreading the next 3 days. I've cleared my PM file. There should be enough room in it to last my time away. I've some turkey in the freezer from Christmas. That should get me through tomorrow. If Monday comes and goes without the appearance of my red flag you will know that I didn't make it!
If we get to vote on DrSzin's avatar, I prefer the old one. There you are - for a boring Saturday, a poll on the new versus the old DrS.
I think that was astra that had the turkey drszinThanks krieve. I thought it was either astra or chillie, but I think I was confusing astra's turkey with chillie's epic struggle with the Fray Bentos tin.
Do you have any Christmas turkey left, astra? I'm not sure canuck's would still be fresh after it's crossed the Pond.
Talking of whom... I prefer my new avatar, canuck. It's more sophisticated, more mysterious, more cool, and more blue...
Ok, that's enough public exposure for me today. I'm going back into the closet to lurk, lurk, lurk. I just hope astra can get some cold turkey to me before I get the jitterborgs again...

Dr Szin, I still have my turkey in the freezer from Christmas time. In fact I was forgetting all about it. I think I'll defrost it tonight and have it over the weekend. I'll send you some if you like? :Razz

Saveman what a good thread to get everyone to introduce themselves.
But with a post like this i can see why so many lurk:
{quote carasman}I dont post on here often anyway because i see the way certain orgers have their cliques and behave towards them that are not in "their gang"
I lurk a lot and enjoy all the threads and find everyone generaly gets along fine, cliques & gangs that is some statement dear, you will scare everyone away from this fantastic forum:(

The Forum feels more peaceful to me now than it has since I joined in December. Gone are the nit picking arguements which descended to a personal level and created bad feeling. Hope the cliques and gangs have changed their ways.
