lurkers

Well I see 100 to 300 views on a topic but only like 10 people who post.

You know who’s the biggest lurker…Mrs. Jay herself. Please correct me if I’m wrong…if a post has been made.

I just find it lame that so many people come to the site and don’t share opinions, ideas, experiences etc. Am I the only one to thinks this is fucked up?

This is normal I guess. I mean I browse Litany and many other forums without posting. On many forums I browse, I don’t even have a user account.

The last board actually told you who was lurking. Not that its a huge crime. If people see something worth commenting on I’m sure they will. If anyone is lurking right now, introduce yourself! Say something about how much you despise/love Rantology/Houses/Dark Side/With Sympathy/Prunetang or something. Always good conversation starters.

I do wish more people posted. I love this board, it’s probably the nicest one I post at, a nice and peaceful, and intelligent little community we have here. :slight_smile:

i agree. i dig this board. It’s pretty much the ONLY board I use on a regular basis. I’ve gotten some great info from you guys, and i think its great cuz everyone has their own opinion and respects others opinions too. i mean - yea people disagree but everybody is still cool to one another.

But to be honest, not everyone really has a worthwile opinion to share. I lurked these boards long before I started, and if I had started posting back then, what could I really add to the conversation? “lol guyz Ministry is great taht teh band with teh junky that did AI soundtrakc” Only when I had got to know Ministry and their music better did I really think it worth signing up for an account and posting. To be honest, I still feel that my knowledge is lacking in a lot of areas, and a lot of posts I find myself wondering what exactly people are referring too…just my 2c

Well, I really doubt anyone would look down on you here for being a relative newbie.

I do wish more people posted. Is still cool to one another.

careful what you wish for, looks what’s happened to the piss army. when it was on the dst servers, the place was great now it’s… not so great. but anytime you have increased traffic you have increased amounts of idiots no matter what you’re talking about.

but yeah, i like prongs. good board, mostly good posts, not much in the way of idiots.

true, but prongs has been up much longer than piss army and it hasn’t come close to the piss army flame wars/etc (thankfully! ) [cool]

JohnyChringe did you change your moniker?

Hey Mrs. Jay, if you’re out there please please let Al play with Skinny Puppy! I know you’re the one convincing him he needs to headline instead of co-headline…

Oh, and break all of Al’s guitars too.

If Mrs. Jay posted here, there would be no reason to even check out the Piss Army periodically. I used to lurk there, but you have to skim through a lot of garbage to get any kind of worthwhile information.

As far as the message views go, most of those are probably just repeated clicks from those who post in the threads. There are only 161 registered users for this forum, which is rather small, so it’s not surprising that the traffic is so low.

I personally like the board the way it is. It can be slow at times, but those wishing for more threads to pop up, be careful what you wish for…

I often look here, but dont post, usually at work. Like now, so that’s it from me! Just felt bad for making the views and not the replies go up, lol!

That I did, changed my main name on most sources a while ago, this was the last place to go. Too Rob Zombie-ish.

I don’t have a problem with lurking. I don’t personally usually bother with it, but it’s cool if that’s someone else’s deal.

For curiosity’s sake though, it would be interesting to see some of the famous and infamous people who lurk check in, as I suspect there’s a few. I guess that’s a big part of why they lurk though. :wink:

I think this board is grand the way it is, there may not be a great amount of posts but im not interested in quantity. This is the only board id visit regularly anyway.

I’m not suggesting changing anything, just possibly less lurkers more posts. I’m also glad this is a cool board.

just change “NEW REPLIES” icon to be more distinct from “NO NEW REPLIES”. :slight_smile:
