    Super Lurkers

    Well, the other day i was wondering how many active members had joined before me, so i took my journey through 73 pages of the member list, and came up with the list. But amazingly there are some super lurkers. So this thread is to hopefully get them to reveal themselves.

    I myself find it simply amazing that these people, who all are 2003 join dates, have stuck around gotwoot, but have not posted very much at all. Now onto the list.

    To his credit, he does post every month but just not enough.

    NomoZ - Last seen, today. Posts 266, Joined, 07-20-2003
    NomoZ posts on average about once a month from what i can tell. He goes missing for a few months at a time, then posts three times in one month.

    Seiryuu-sama - Last seen, today. Posts 19, Joined, 07-30-2003
    Seiryuu-sama posted not at all in 2003, 10 times in 2004 once in 2005 and 4 times in 2006.

    ryan92084 - Last seen, 11-23-2006. Posts 129, Joined, 08-15-2003
    ryan, has only posted six times in this fine year, that is sadly drawing to a close.

    ven0m - Last seen, 11-23-2006. Posts 10, Joined, 10-29-2003
    ven0m posted 5 times in 2003 then decided to take a 3 year vacation. He has posted this year.

    High Wind - Last seen, Today. Posts 112, Joined, 09-10-2003
    High Wind has been posting more often, recently. Even a post on page 5 of this very thread.

    I myself am amazed that these people are able to keep reading these forums, but seldom take place in them. Maybe some of these people will read this thread and reply to it.

    Posted at first, left after reading stupidness from a mutata or something, lost my pass, returned with new account, asked a mod for help to recover old account, merged, became active.

    Maybe these long time lurkers have a secret. Maybe they can only watch anime (and thus find anime forum interesting), when their uber strict wives or husbands are away from home for an extended period of time. Those times they then go all out, download some anime and bravely post once or twice in an anime forum.

    I only lurked for releases, not to read the forums, once I decided to read topics one day, I had to register, because I like to hear myself talk.

    I guess sometimes you just enjoy reading the exchanges back & forth between other people. Don't really have that much to contribute to the discussion.

    I joined the same day I found the forum and became a mod 5 days afterwards because I posted like a fucking whore and Suede (former admin) found that sexually arousing.

    I'm not sure why I just wrote that.

    Wow, you really have too much time on your hands. A lot of people visit here for information and maybe links to the latest episodes, but posting is pretty pointless because no one cares what anyone else has to say, they just want to see themselves in print. At least making this list is better than you rewatching Blood+ to pass the time.

    I think everybody lurks once and a while. I (like many) lurked before I actually signed on and started posting (everybody has a similar story), but these lurkers...super indeed! Now, if this post can only draw them back. Nice job woof and damn you do have alot of time on your hands; 73 pages ffs
    Currently watching: One Piece, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi,
    The 12 Kingdoms, and Soukou no Strain (kinda)

    Somehow I think Complich could have done this more easily by using his statistics wizardry once again on the data base. Too bad he hasn't published any interesting statistics lately. Maybe he has been too busy with the rl...

    But of course it's all the more impressive achievement from you, woofcat, since you don't have Complich's access level.

    I mostly lurke anymore, I used to be semi active in the art section and various anime threads. I dont have time for photoshop cause im addicted to online gaming and dont have free time for it anymore. 30 minute anime can only be overanalized so much and I dont consider myself as a person who over thinks about the plot and events in an anime, I just enjoy the journey or skip it in the case of Naruto fillers.

    I like to read the forums to see others opinions and theorys, witness e-drama, and flame wars. Unfortuneatly Mut@t@ an Y are no longer around they made things intersting thats for sure, but atleast we still have the ever interesting Terracosmo.

    Anyways its nice to be back though i doubt anyone missed me or knew i left, lol. See ya guys around.

    I was forced to lurk for a week because of an error with the registration, but I think lurking can be a good thing so you can get to know the forum before you piss someone off. Just super-lurking is kinda creepy.
