Hello!

Keep feeding me...

Hello! *stands up*

I come here everyday and should probably post a little more than I do. I'm sorry.

*peeps through the window*

Hi.

Before a scientist goes mad, there's probably a time when he's only partially mad. And this is the time when he's going to throw his best parties.

Hiya! =) I post a bit here and there...

heh good idea, maybe these lurkers will come out and post more and get their black pills. I took about two years out from posting here just the odd read, was more active on other forums, hence my join date and low post count :P

ahhh, pointless threads! cookies! weeeeeeeeeeeee

Hello!
I've been lurking for awhile... i hadn't even gotten an account yet! :P
Since I'm posting now, just want to say thanks to all the guys giving out tips!
elp...

If you made this thread like half a year ago, i would be one of them. I posted like three time during 8 months or so, until i decided to show up for sure =P.

What, slouched back in your chair in your underwear, slid so far under your desk you can only see your head?

I'm not really an active poster at the moment. Things in real life happening, stuff to do... I'm still lurking, though.

I'm pretty much a lurker. Most of my posts aren't especially humor filled or helpful, so I try and stay quiet.

(I enjoy all the tips on PS and enjoy the photography section lots, but rarely have anything worthwhile to dish out myself.)

erm...hi.

I LUURRKK!!!

You know, kinda like "I live!!" but different.
Been here for a while but havn't had time to do enough PS to really become active on the forum.

And and Hello.

^^ An edit for nine characters...

That has to be a record.

:::11oh1:::

Don't think a nine-letter edit is a record, was someone who edited a 5 letter word a while back. Might have been that substituted the previous, longer post since it didn't fit thought...

The lurking/posting goes in cycles for me. Sometimes I post a lot, while other times I rarely post at all. But I'm always lurking just around the corner where you least expect me

Yeah - I'm here too, every day. More reading than writing, but I stay connected. Wishing for a third arm and 25 hour days...

hoi hoi

I also read through the asylum every day, but I rarely post...

what frequency of posts would you have to go down to in order to be considered a lurker?




~We're not here for long, we're here for fun~

some one who has NEVER posted before... or has not posted for a month or so, but keeps on reading. Mostly people who ever post though.

I suppose there is an untold satisfaction to lurking... it must be like voyeurism, education, and entertainment all rolled in to one!

Me, I just jump in head first, and usually hurt myself in the process. Hehe.

WOOF! *raises a paw.* I lurked for about 2 years before I joined... Still do it too.


The programmer's national anthem is 'AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH''

Wolfen's Sig Site

Would I be considered a lurker? I've been around for a while, I just hang out in the Server Side forum. I don't really post much there either. I do browse the Ozone forum though, just don't post much.

*raises hand and waves*

Actually our 'short-post' count is from someone who posted the answer to a multiple choice question. All they poted was:

i am here, i think... or i might be over there somewhere... i dunno ... have trouble keeping up with myself at times ... but at least i got my camera in hand

my name is josh and i lurked for about two minutes before registering. it's great! i get free food, free pills, everything, all paid for by the government. i love asylums.

A few weeks ago I was a lurker.... For a couple of years.... Now I am reformed....

Jason

I feel naked.

Bloody hell...............its frightening how many people actually read but not post........nice to see so many new faces though.

*stands up, waves at the room, sits back down*

meow

I was a lurker for a while but went to lurker classes and now I am reformed

the nurse is in! uh, is this where the line starts for more black pills?

I have been lurking even less...I tried to play a pong match several months ago and there was no participation and it just seems this place has gotten ever so quiet here over the past year. *goes back to bed*

I'm a stalker...does that count?

Good enough.

So now that we are all out what games does every body want to play?

I vote for monopoly!! (Grabs the shoe from game box)

Yeah, I check in at least a couple times a week. Don't have enough computer knowledge to be of any help at the moment....must need some more pills?



-Chesta

I probably should do the same thing, I should be learning instead of chatting

My Detention Room

I've kinda faded into the woodwork lately. My work projects are taking a change in direction and I've been pretty heavily involved in converting our site - firstly from 100% real crap to 90% Dreamweaver/10% real crap ... and now from that to a fully database driven, user-maintained system. I'm writing the CMS in PHP over MySQL so it's so much fun I don't peruse the boards much right now.

Still love y'all though

I lurked . I joined . I posted . forgot password . forgot UserName . lurked . couldnt think of another good UseName . lurked . finally arrived ... i think .

I dont know why but i find the inmates here a little intimidating ... maybe i'm just not crazy enough .

i usually lurk, but have found these pages useful for new inmates, er, i mean asylumites. :FAQ: Reception Room and the Ubb question is listed at :FAQ: Asylum General.

I've been around for a long time. It's been some years. I just decided to register about a month ago. Never posted. This is my first reply, might not reply again. I don't really have the will or time to post. Just come here to read and think. Laugh and learn.

No hositilities here at all babes, just like to joke a bit. Since I plan on stopping in every now and again I will most certainly read up on what you have to offer and will try to do some learning. Again I do thank you for your help, it is truly appreciated.

1. learn to be funny
2. bag that sig..

I live here and lurk in real life - does that count?

I'd thoroughly recommend that the new people (and some of the othe rinmates) read the FAQs velvetrose links to. I'd also recommend that PetSkull stop taking physcial and metaphorical potshots

You never left!!

I also think its cheating for people to claim to be lurkers who have more than about 5 posts!!

Emperor, thanks for making your point. Actually I was well ready to read on and try to learn something here, but not so enthused anymore. They say if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen so I will go somewhere that I feel a bit more comfortable. Also thanks to Rose for the helpful post.

Jeezus, I was kidding!! Chill...
