[Closed] STWers who read but rarely post

I think you'll find your kind are called 'lurkers'! 😀

i meet loads of riders that lurk on stw 🙂

Yeah I lurk round here

I don't think I post as often as I lurk these days. Can't be bothered with the amount of potential bitchy comments. If I've something to add though I will.

i might become a lurker.................

id probably post more if i could type quicker - threads have often moved on while i tap away slowly with one finger

Compusive lurker.

Without an account for about 3 years, with an account for about few months.

you really dont know how disturbing an image that conjures up ton 😉

More lurker than poster here

It's effort...

/Laziness - got a doctors note for it/

/Idle ****/

😀

yep, habitual lurker here but when a really interesting thread starts like this one , i just feel compelled to join in !

better to read and rarely post than post but barely read............

.......stw is becoming a bit of a spectator sport these days, just sit back and wait for the clowns to come on 😉

Hello, lurking around about 4 years.

I wish some of the regular posters were lurkers 😉

I lurk for a while, then pounce with several posts in one go on lots of threads...then go back to lurking...

in fairness I'm always worried that someone's going to quote my forum:classifieds posting ratio...!

I tend to search the archives for advice rather than getting several replies of "not again" or "search the forum" or "here we go again"

I just dream about you all

threads have often moved on while i tap away slowly with one finger

WooHoo I to am a keyboard pecker! Like a woodpecker with my index finger.

Dezb , i know ! i just 'lurked' that one !

I believe the forum pros have secretaries they dictate their diatribe too.

That would assume the 'forum pros' don't spend solitary lives in dingy bedsits where they vent their frustrations with the world upon us through the medium of STW.
Compared to the more prolific attention-mongers on here, we're all lurkers.

sfb is NOT welcome here!

I would post a comment but i'm only a lurker.....oopps too late!

I'm a lurker a) because I'm in work.... b) not sure that I've got anything interesting to add/post (maybe others should take note of that one :))... and c) I can be bothered !!

Dont take that in a teenage lazy type way it's more to do with my reason b.

For instance, I'm at this very momment forcing myself to finish this post!! Because to be quite frank I'm boring myself let alone thinking that I will be boring you guys

Yes, another lurker here, Ro5ey's reasons are very similar to mine. The other time I've posted in the past is drunk late at night. I stopped that once I realised the rubbish I wrote in that condition.

I generally lurk, but post if I feel I have anything valid to contribute (if I can be arsed) or if I need an answer to something.

Some of the constant posters are like soap characters, there are heroes, villain's, hardmen, lefties etc. All very amusing, but I'm too timid to enter the bitch fights.

I do a fair amount of lurking. Having said that this is my second post today! 😀

I do post from time to time but only where I feel I have something to say.

Hello fellow, lurkers! 😉

Bagstard,

LOL - STWenders. 😀

Another lurker here.

Just never really posted, no excuses just didn't.

I usually find that by the time I decide to post on a topic somebody else (Ro5ey) has already said what I was going to.

Lurking as we speak. Post occasionally, but if someone asks a question I can answer 10 people have normally replied by the time I get there!

How ironic, Strangelove - you have just done that to me!

all sound a bit pervy to me........

Yo.

stw is becoming a bit of a spectator sport these days, just sit back and wait for the clowns to come on

It was worse when there was no logon, the trolling then was spectacular.

<back in the day mode>OFF</back in the day>

Yes serial lurker here.
95% of the posts are not worth responding to, the other 5% someone would of made a valid contribution to.
So not worth responding .................

My granny used to say "If you hav'nt got anything good/important/intelligent to say don't say anything at all".Actually If everyone subscribed to that there would'nt be anything on here would there.

.

Serial lurker,unless I have something that I feel is relevant.
Which isn`t often.............

❓

Regular lurker and the most heinous of stw pariahs, a lurker that buys and sells in the classifieds.

I read about 40 threads a day. I do about 1-2 new threads a week. I reply to about 5 threads a day.

I often repeat already expressed remarks - it adds weight, aligns the hive mind. Dunt matter if you say the odd daft thing - it's hobby forum

LAT.Like your honesty! 😆

I lurk on many threads where I just read because I am interested but have nothing to say /contribute or just dont know anything about what thet are atalking about - that may come as surprise to some!!
I am not a lurker but I rarely start threads.
Can I out Rudeboy as a lurker?

LOOSERS! 😉

Love Ya DezB..... you've got to sleep some time, my Northern Associate and I are waiting....

Mainly a 'lurker' have you seen some of the ridiculous replies to simple questions !! ??

I'm thinking about becoming one.

Some people should become lurkers...

LOOSERS!

Losers?

I lurked for a fair old time before dipping a toe in. Don't start many threads, but chip in if i've got something helpful, amusing or stupid to say.

I maybe post on 1/2 threads a day at peak times, but then might not post anything for a couple of months, been a forum member since 2003

I often write a response, review it and then not bother posting it after realising I'm just bored and writing for the sake of it

Is this a self help meeting for Lurkers?!

I mostly lurk... and chip in if I think I've got anything interesting to add (that's rarely, so I guess I'm not that interesting!!) 😆

Very lurky indeed. I have trouble enough just keeping up with the number of posts, let alone coming up with anything useful to say...

I also search the forum to see whether the latest shiney thing I'm considering buying is universally disliked/ loved too. That probably makes me the worst kind of lurker?

Just coincidence that Lurker rhymes with burqa ? 😆

Long time lurker here

Used to post loads(mind,most of it was BS),but more of an occasional lurker these days......

if you post on this thread do you lose lurker status?

Yes, you then become what's known in the trade as a skulker.

Only been lurking for a few weeks (since I got a subscription for crimbo). Most of the time I probably would have some thing to say but 200 people have already said it by the time I check. I was surprised how active the forum is compared to my more 'local' one and mtbr.

I like Lurpack

Unless I have anything to add don't bother. Its usually been said, far more articulately then what I could say, by the time I get there.

And I'm worried about my spelling and prose with all the ****ing pedants;-)

I like to post if I have an opinion.
I save my lurking for the bikeradar forums
