Bristol / South West forum lurkers, reveal yourselves!

[munkeeunit]

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

lurkers are passive.
loiters are passive aggresive.

How do we tell the difference?

We coax them into revealing themselves on threads like this, then we probe their brains with urban mind tricks.

So far you only registered on our geiger counter as a lurker, but that you've raised the question of loitering is itself suspicious, and you now register as a potential loiter, while still only lurking.

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.

Hello

My stats make me look like a lurker (4 posts in a year!) but the truth is I just don't come here much. Maybe I'm a remote lurker?

you are a lurker, and the first steps to recovery are admitting to that.

Well done

Hi there south west lot,

I'm sure i must have lurker status, but again I don't really have the time to spend online.

U75 is a top place for info, and i have found out tons, just not said a lot.
Quick intro - live in a village not far from Exeter, came down from Reading 3 years back, did some gardening and working with homeless, just had a baby and plan to look after him full time (so, even less time to muck about in here)

Pretty sure I've got lurker status. As said above Urban is great for info and love the Suburban section, especially when I get a garden to play with in the next couple of months. More frequently post on efests, but come on here most days too.

P.S. Hellooooo grapes x

Hi AndyO'C

With a posting average of 0.05 posts per day, you are definitely a lurker.

We do try very hard to allow mitigating lurking circumstances, and do offer those with a posting average of 0.1 and 1 posts per day to volunteer themselves as a lurker, but at 0.05 I don't think there's yet a precedent to officially delurkify your lurking status.

Which is why we've made it fashionable to lurk

Even if we can't find a way of delurkifying your status, we can at least make it fashionable.

I've been known to lurk from time to time.

Hey there,

Always pop in to see what's happening. Born and bred Bristollian, left when I was 18 and haven't been back since (18 years later). I often find myself reminiscing and wondering how much it's changed.

It's changed a lot - you wouldn't recognise the docks (now 'Harbourside').
You should pay a visit!

Hi atomik,

statistically you are just above the undeniably lurker labellable lurking threshold,

so your 'lurk from time to time' self diagnosis appears to be correct.

i think i'm oldskool lurker

I think I'm more of a listener than a lurker.

Just looked at my profile and I'm averaging 0.18 posts a day which is pretty poor!!

I promise I'll try harder

I'm embarassed to say that since 99.99 percent of my posts have been in the past year, my daily average is almost 100 times yours
