Right now there are over 400 guests, and almost 30 in the Rumble Strip alone. Everyday thousands of lurkers view GTP – but don't make a single post.

So, for those of you who are just lurking around, please give us all a chance to meet you. :)
 
Alright, fine then.......although i dont lurk as much as others, i do post occasionally from time to time. But why do i get the feeling that everyone here hates me? Even if i don't know them, they ignore me. Or maybe it's just me. I dunno.
 
I would rather they don't join if they don't ever post or they make stupid posts. I can name a ton of new members that need to be banished. I think if these lurkers are going to join, then at least the contribute something worth while.
 
I'm not a lurker, I just forget to shut down the page sometimes. I think I've left it up over weekends away before. I do post alot.
 
Well, sometimes I'm considered a lurker despite my post count due to my status to being unknown.

So many members here don't know if I'm there or not, and if I'm online or not. Some don't know if I've been on for hours or not.


Just my ways. I go under the radar.
 
Hi, my name is ALPHA and I'm an alcoholic.

I’m on GTPlanet a lot of the time basking in the shadows. I hardly post mainly because other people beat me and say basically the same thing as I would. I also possess horrible sentence construction techniques as demonstrated above.

I’m online whenever I can be, mainly going through old threads for some good laughs or viewing the GT4 forum, I'm an active lurker.

Getting "lurkers" to expose themselves? How ironic :)

:lol:... I must admit, I have only really just begun to use the other forums (or is it fora? :odd: ) other than the Gran Turismo ones...

I was about to say that...;)
 
I do lurk sometimes, but that is only so I can laugh at others :)

I just watch things unfold amongst you lot, are dare make any comment cos I generally screw things up.

Sometimes, I lurk for days, but that is only cos this crappy computer keeps closing down cos it has a 'TROJAN' virus, or summink like that. It pisses me off, I like interfearing in these forums


LOOK I AM EXPOSED, HERE IS EVEN A PICTURE FOR YOUR READING HORROR!

Well you need to try a little harder to go "under the radar"

You're one of the biggest postwhores here, how the hell does that make you a lurker?

A lurker is somebody who looks around and doesn't post, not somebody who posts 15 times a day!
 
I've noticed how last year, we were wowing the 10,000th member, ever since Jordan made in mandatory to register to view GT4 Content, we've had a total of 50,000 members. :eek:
 
To be fair, I tend to lurk around and spot baddies more than anything, these days. ;) Post count an PPD average isn't always representative.
 
When I'm at work, I use my cell phone to read GTP on wireless web. If it's between 8:30 - 5:30 M-F(some Saturdays), I'm registered as an guest.
 
Yeah, I lurk quite a lot. The web crawlers will show up as guests when they're indexing a site. I once saw over 300 spiders logged in at the same time (!!) on another forum I moderate.
 
I've gone from one of the most active member at GTP to a lurker. Now, since I'm sort of unknown I guess, I'm bashed for any and everything stupid I say. Maybe the rest of the lurkers see bashing and are afraid to post? Maybe not though.

Anderton Prime rocks. 👍
 
I'm definetly not a lurker in the conversation forums but every where else I just lurk, I barely post anywhere else then the conversation forums. Plus I don't believe that posts count there so that's probably why my post count has slowed down. But who's counting?
 
Only post if ive got something to say/add to the thread. :) I dont wanna read useless posts so why should i make useless posts?
