You don't rock nearly as much, no. You should start posting. If you want to bicker do it in The Forum. We bicker.

Alas, you are correct my friend. A postless GTPer is a useless entity indeed.

The Forum you say? Perchance I shall investigate further...
 
It seems theres only one picture that i noticed, so i may as well post my "lurker" self up here hahahahaha

TIS I!!! gettin the work done there!:dopey:
 
I guess I've become somewhat of a lurker, mainly do to getting a PS3 and TSL.

From,
Chris.
 
/\Heh, not that I'm aware of, I could dream I guess.

Now that I think of it, its funny that I dont have more posts or even the quality post badge. I've been around since the beginning of the original granturismofourm.com. Good times...
 
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.

Same here except I've MIA lately as nothing really interests me here anymore. I got put off awhile ago with some opinions expressed towards things I like and grew tired of it.
 
Wow all of these oldies popping in for a hello. I have a feeling I'm going to become one of you guys soon. My premo expires in a couple days, so there's another reason to spend the time better elsewhere.
 
Im a big lurker, ive always visited GTP about the same amount its just since getting a job back in 2006 i just havnt posted much. I still visit almost every day and look at the comedy / racing / cars section and rumble but for some reason just reading everything is enough. I dont seem to add a lot to the convo's anymore.

Probably means ive somewhat slipped into the background and i doubt id be as regonisable as i once was (was gonna say respected but i dont think i ever was haha)

So yeah barely any posts but im still as active as ever..

Strange
 
Wow I didn't know this thread existed so yeah I guess I'm a lurker since I visit everyday but hardly post, anyways I'll get back to lurking around. :)
 
im a big I've never been much more than a lurker, ive always visited GTP about the same amount its just since getting a job every week since discovering it back in 2006 i just havnt posted much. I still visit almost every day and look at the comedy / racing / cars GT4, GTA and Off Topic sections and rumble but for some reason just reading everything is enough. I dont seem to add a lot to the convo's anymore.

Probably means ive somewhat slipped into the background and i doubt id be as regonisable as i once was (was gonna say your average postwhore, but I bet I'm more respected but i dont think i ever was haha) than your average noob!

so yeah barely any posts but im still as active as ever..

Strange

Edit: ...but not as strange as all my CAPS being stripped from the edited quote. I promise I capitalised avery "I" and "GT".

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. :)
I could say the same for my profile, in five months my page has had 900 visits.
I think I have the best average registered time - visits.

:lol:, Perhaps because you're a woman?

Having a female perspective and opinion in most of the subjects certainly adds to the discussions, there's many other GT-related forums on the web, and many of them are in my native language, even so, I still prefer to visit GTP and this is due to the cosmopolitan atmosphere that surrounds the forums. Having so many countries represented is just fantastic.

The same applies to gender, it would be great to have more women around here, they have different opinions and different ways to face things, contributing to form a more diversified pool of ideas. 👍

As a confession, I was a lurker for almost a year, since 2008 I regularly visited the forums as a guest, then I registered in october 2009. I visited your profile page too Liz. I hope that this doesn't make me some sort of maniac or psycho. :dopey:

I guess in 136.607 members there are many girls

It depends on the number of visits

But being a lurker is not bad, it's just lack of confidence, if you're a newbie and don't know anyone, you need time to integrate into the community. Sometimes I read abrupt replies, and that can produce fear of being ridiculed by "aggressive" members or moderators, another important thing could be belief in having nothing valuable to contribute.

The forum software automagically puts spaces in if you don't (note one in your last line too) so as to keep the forum layout.

I go into lurker mode occasionally, mostly when I'm doing homework on my computer, though not sure if that counts.
 
Well, I have been here for about a year and a half now and I only have 152 post and a .30 posts per day so I guess i'm a lurker. The reason I never really post much is because my posts always seen to be ignored.
 
I joined in August of '08 and only have 250 post (251 now). My PPD is 0.38. I come to GTPlanet everyday. I don't know why I rarely post.
 
*A wild Lurker Appears!*
I visit this forum often, but as many other people have said, I don't see the point in posting just to repeat something that has already been posted. Ironic I suppose that I'm doing that now. :P
 
Wow i guess some lurkers have really come out!!

i guess now that im on page 3 of the memberlist sorted via post count i can barely say im a lurker.
