Bristol / South West forum lurkers, reveal yourselves!

[munkeeunit]

fine. if you don't want me I shall go and lurk in the welsh forum.

They'll expose you as a fake-fashionable-jumping-on-the-lurking-bandwagon-non-lurker too.

 

[Streathamite]

a victim of c.p.s. if you don't mind

I've just seen my entry in there!

 

[munkeeunit]

*bump*

we can see you

 

[munkeeunit]

*bump*

We can still see you

(seems to be catching the odd person still, even if they don't post directly onto this thread.)

 

[3_D]

Even though I'm from Bristol and no one here knows me I'm not actually a lurker because I rarely come on this site and I only saw this thread in passing on the way back from the football forum after the UEFA Cup Final where Middlesboro lost 4-0 and anyway I only remember to even visit this site about once every 2 or 3 months so howthefuckcanIbealurker???

And...breath...............

So yeah.

I knicked the thread off the Welsh. It's all their fault. Blame them.

Also, you're just above the unofficial lurking status, which is a 0.1 posting average or less.

 

[tom_craggs]

I hope I don't lurk so much as keep a restrained distance...

I am from North Cadbury in Somerset (although not there often anymore sadly) which....forms the point of a nice Eastwardly pointing triangle with Yeovil (....) and Glastonbury as the other two points...in case you wondered.

 

[munkeeunit]

Hi Tom, you're another of those border line lurkers with a 0.35 a day posting average, so you're probably right that it's more of a restrained distance you're keeping.

You've also been here for a good year longer than me, so if for some reason I fall into a coma, or restrain my distance, my posting average my yet fall too, but at the moment I'm an active Urbanite on a mission to bring the lurkers out of the Urban woodwork.

 

[3_D]

I'm concerned about these so called 'posting averages' of which you speak. Where are you getting them from, what do you mean, and how come we low-volume-posters are suddenly cast as "lurkers" like some kind of scum pox-ridden underclass???? Huh?

Aaaaaanyway.........anyone see the Boro game?

 

[munkeeunit]

I told you it's the all the fault of the Welsh.

Nice to chat to you anyway, which is the real point of this thread if you hadn't realised.

Next upgrade, perhaps we could have some more stats - such as how much time people actually spend reading the boards and how widely.
It's just that in the extreme case you get people who join urban just to ask a question in the drugs forum ....

These non-lurking-jumping-on-the-lurking-bandwagon-regulars now that lurking is fashionable, really are clogging up this thread

Hmmm. interesting idea, but that's starts sounding a bit more like Urban75-Big-Brother-Is-Watching-You.

As it stands winding the lurkers up a little by calling them lurkers, seems to be good enough to get them to post, even if they are a little annoyed at being called lurkers (which I still protest the Welsh started and it's all their fault.)

 

[nellyphant]

fine. if you don't want me I shall go and lurk in the welsh forum.

 

[Miscellaneous]

I am a semi-lurker.

 

[munkeeunit]

A 2.28 daily posting average is definitely not semi-lurking.

(but then who appointed me the overlord of lurking definitions?, uh, me )

Hello Miscellaneous and Nellyphant.

Don't go Astral, we love you really, even if you're not a proper lurker.

 

[Zaskar]

I dint think a low rate, sub 1 lurking levels is in any way concerning. The high numbers give me pause for thought sometimes.

I think of a post as a unit of alcohol. 28 a week, 4 a day, and you are unlikely to damage your health or anyone elses.

Above that there are health considerations and addiction is possible for many when you go over 10 to 15 a day. Those posting at this level may be unalbe to get up in the morning without a quick post to get them going.

This problem posting can cause irrational behaviour, mood swings and some quite unpleasent antics at times.

 

[munkeeunit]

For the record, the unofficial lurking status (approved and certified by me alone) is a 0.1 dailing posting average or less. Anything marginally above that and below a 1 post a day average is semi-lurking, and you may volunteer yourselves as a lurker.

Anything above 1 a day is not lurking, except I have sown understandable confusion by atempting to expose 'Bristol / South West Forum' lurkers. This is leading some who lurk in the BSW forum, but who post highly elswhere to reveal themselves as a lurker, even though their posting average suggests otherwise.

I apologise for this confusion and assure you all that I am pumping billions into reseacrhing this phenomena in the hope of resolving this anomaly sometime soon. In the meantime if you are in anyway concerned that you may be a lurker, please feel free to post on this thread an we will analyse your lurking status thouroughly.


Thanks very much.


Munkeeunit.

*one more bump for luck*

Each bump seems to attract a couple more lurkers to the Bristol / South West Urban honey pot.

So one more bump can't hurt...

 

[xenon]

Hello.
I like to lurk hither and thither.

I hope that's OK.

Yes, lurking is this years latest fashion, so best to be doing it while it's the in thing.

 

[fractionMan]

I was lurking before it was fashionable.

 

[xenon]

When does a lurk become a loiter though? And which is more sinister?
