Lurkers?

Post by Ringworm128 » Thu Apr 21, 2016 9:52 am

Tonight I was going through random profiles out of sheer boredom when I noticed there were quite a few members who have barely posted in the last 5-10 years but still log in from time to time. Which got me interested, just how many lurkers use this forum and still keep up with Kanzenshuu and its community while remaining invisible?

Technically, I've been lurking these forums since it was Daizenshuu EX, even having an account back in 2002? 2003? At least? Of course there's no way I remember my old login details, ahaha. Despite that, I've always visited this community and lurked for as long as I could to read all of the interesting posts. I suppose my own posts are kept to a minimum even now because most of our insightful members speak out the words I would already say! I'm just a hunter for any material that might need my service, but I'll stay in my rice cooker until that moment arrives.

I don't know if other members would consider me a lurker nowadays, but I know about two or three years ago, I was definitely a lurker. However, I wouldn't consider myself active like I was shortly after I joined. I think I've fallen into the "semi-active" category lately. However, I do check the forum at least once a day even if I don't log in.

Anyway, I know for me, I find that it's often hard to discuss things on here in-depth nowadays, because there are other members who have way more concrete and well-thought-out opinions on different topics than I could ever hope to have. Plus, as Nejishiki said, other members will often say what I would've posted in said topics.

Nonetheless, I do check in every now and then, and whenever I feel like I have something significant to say about a certain topic, I'll go ahead and post it. Otherwise, I like to leave the in-depth discussions to other members.

I lurked the forums from 2004 - 2008 before creating an account in 2009.

I'm on here pretty much every day, I just rarely post because I have little to offer.

Lurker here.
Lurking since 2008 I think.
I log in the forum at least two times a day. Mostly to see the Video Game forum. But also the Website & Community forum hoping to see any news about the wiki (I wish that I could also lurk the wiki. One can dream)
I love the podcast and I watch closely Herms, he creates the better topics in the forum.
I don`t post too much cause writing in english is too tiresome (I take several minutes to write simple sentences and I think that I dont make myself clear most of the times)

Your English seems fairly impeccable from that post!

If you check the site everyday and the forums weekly, how long does it need to be since your last post before you're considered a lurker instead of a poster?

For me, two months. I could very easily become a lurker down the line, as I love this sit, Dragon Ball and the community.

Been lurking since 2006 I guess, didn't use to post as threads are usually massive and I didn't want to have to read through everything to see if something had already been asked.

More recently I have been using the subreddit because of the convenience of accessing threads from my phone and being able to sort comments based on rating etc.
"No. A sword is a weapon. Kenjutsu is the art of killing. Whatever pretty words you use to speak of it, this is its true nature. What Miss Kaoru says are the words of one who has never dirtied her hands. An idealistic joke. But, I like Miss Kaoru's idealism better than its true nature. If one can ask so much, I want the world to accept this joke as its true nature."

I've lurked this site for a long time. Probably from when it was Daizenshuu EX? I dunno, it's been a while.

I mostly lurk around looking for cool Dragonball collections etc, mainly to add to my own collection.

This is my first post ever.

I lurked for a very short period before joining.

I wonder if that MajinVejitaXV guy is still lurking around... :think:

Anyway, not sure if this thread should be revived or not. Nonetheless, a welcome to Kakkeron!

The old days of Daizenshuu EX is much different now. Half of the old members from those days are hardly around.

I read Kanzenshuu posts on occasion for a while, then I realized "Hey, I can join this!" and signed up quickly. Been here ever since, and I don't plan to go anywhere anytime soon.

There have been people who have lurked since it was "Daizenshuu EX". Two weeks are small potatoes compared to those people.

I lurked for half a year, then joined for two weeks! Those are some big potatoes!

I'd say sightly bigger then small potatoes.
