[singing voice]: Hey, hey I guess it hasn't hit me yet. I fell thru this crack and I kinda lost my lurker flag. I stand transfixed before the streetlight...[/singing voice]
Annoying flag.
I haven't the patience to lurk... is there a classification for that condition?
Hi.![]()
I'm new. Hi.
Welcome Marti. Pull up a seat and enjoy yourself.
Now I'm jealous, I don't recall seeing a lurker flag on me. I guess it would have helped if I had lurked.
I'm back for whatever that's worth. I've spent 9 months trying to log on and couldn't get it to happen no matter how often I asked for a new password.Suddenly tonight, all of the roadblocks were pulled away and I was able to sign on.
So I guess I can't lay claim to a lurker flag as I haven't been lurking but I am back.![]()
What is a lurker flag? I haven't been engaged enough to know. Is there an absentee flag? I've just been busy, and lazy.
I have the BAaUT 'Newslettre' (or whatever it's called) delivered to my e-mail, and (of course) subscribe to the Podcasts. This makes me lazy, and passive, and i hereby resolve to log into Forumland more regularly to engage in all of this highly interesting discourse.
Hi; i'm back. ;-]
Could Junior Members use this to increase post counts so they can become regular members?
There's only one place were post counts really matter, and that's when people with very low post counts try to start threads with a post with an external link, since they go to moderator review.

maybe spambots are for the betterment of mankind?
shoot, you could try to sell me all of Arizona.
Guess you can't bump a sticky thread, eh?
I may catch up on a few old threads I never tied up years ago, and then lurk for a couple of years again.
Hi again, by again.
Actually you can, though it's only bumped in the sense that the stickies themselves are sorted according to last post.

Is there an "Ultimate Lurker" award?
I make about 2 to 5 visits per year but rush to this board the moment I'm confused by anything.
He could be posting more than once per visit. Where has your logic gone?
I beat that. I'm currently at less than 10 a year

Not having regular internet access for 3 years certainly helped a lot.
But I'm certain theres someone on this forum posting less than I.
