Damn... Apparently We've Forgotten Our Unsaid Charter... A LURKER Is Not The Same As A Troll

[WillyT]

In Internet culture, a lurker is a person who reads discussions on a message board, newsgroup, chatroom, file sharing, social networking site, listening to people in VOIP calls such as Skype and Ventrilo or other interactive system, but rarely or never participates actively.

I guess I'm just melancholy about those that were here on a regular basis, and chose/choose not to engage anymore.

Sorry... I feel like I've lost touch with many a good friend.

1. Did a lot of lurkers go away or get fired or something? I think lurkers are fine. Welcome, lurkers

2. A troll is an aggravating poster, a lurker doesnt post

3. Delurking to say thanks and great point.

I do tend to lurk, but love du and do spend a lot of time here. Consider myself pretty non-trolly ;-)

4. Mostly a lurker here now.

But, that is because I have gotten super busy, so I read and watch videos that are posted.

5. Serial lurker here but an active member of a political debate site

I like to engage people with ideas different than my own. Sometimes I even get them to agree with my point of view.

8. There is nothing wrong with a lurker.

Sometimes many weeks or even months go by when I am not feeling too good and it is comforting to read but not to join in. The important thing is that people care enough to pay attention.

9. I mostly lurk but......

I do post now and again.
