Lurkers

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I don't post much,due to a real fear of offending/upseting someone.I've found myself deleting posts for the same reason.But I suppose the main reason is I don't want to come across as being as thick as s**t. :lol:

When I started to post I didn't even know what weeding is. OMG :eek:

I remember posting something along the lines of "What? How can you people trade these few songs back and forth. They're always the same." :oops: :lol:

....just good that the Big Heartland Crash washed it all away. :innocent:

People are strange. 8)
I joined over a year before I started posting. I wasn't technically lurking cos I didn't bother actually looking. I just couldn't get used to the amount of time needed to browse the forum and then kind of forgot it existed. :lol:

I also did my fair share of sending freebie weeds to newbies as a 'welcome', I think Jess, for one can confirm this to be true.

I also thought this thread was about Fulham's finest

Oh yes! :notworthy: I was a bit shocked though to find such an amount of friendliness and trust on the net. I can't thank you enough for that, James. It was probably the reason I stayed. :D

so as regulars a lot of us have lurked at some time or other-why the hidden thing? why hide your online status unless you're eldritch in which case an obvious alter-ego will fool all the people who cant work it out (which is a good job 'cause the inner-circle don't stand up well to being put on the spot by those who have ) :wink:

I usually have a look to see what's been going on before I log, I don't view that as "Lurking", just to lazy to log in everytime I just want a quick keek, or only have a couple of minutes to spare.

in fact as far as i can seethe only reason for hiding your online status instead of logging in/out -which is actually simpler as you have to log in & change your profile to be hidden- is so that the bored amongst us can look at the statistics page and work out who is "hidden" and then presumably think "ooh-how mysteriously gothic;what an enigma" or as i often do "what an attention seeking goth/dodgy knobwand".

I will freely admit that I do it sometimes. Sometimes I just want to log-on, read my PMs and avoid the 'PM Pouncers' :roll: who appear from nowhere once they see you're online. Read begging letters. Neither do I wish to receive unsolicited PMs and log-off without responding to the senders as that appears rude and offensive.

I usually live in the murky, seedy world of PMland, so if I have asked someone (within that enviroment) to marry me or threatened to burn down their house it's nice to know in advance, without previously mentioned distractions, before I hit the board.

Plus, if I've had cyber sex with Buxy previously I usually need to take a shower before I can post again. :von:
