Lurkers
So every now and then a member of the forum that I haven't seen before will make a post, but their join-date will be nowhere near recent, sometimes as early as 2004 or 2005. They'll say they're a "lurker". I just want to pick your brains and get some firsthand perspective on this.
Do you lurk because you simply enjoy seeing what the "common Dragonball fan" has to say? Do you come here just for the news and updates?
I'm actually pretty interested in what you have to say, so what's the deal guys?

I know I'm nothing like a "lurker" here, but there are other forums that I'm registered on and only visit or post on once in a blue moon. The is my primary station on the interweb, and basically everywhere else I go, I only go to when I'm A) really bored here due to low activity or something B) looking for something interesting or C) going there to say something important.
I'm know your looking for people who aren't frequent visitors here, but I'm sure that for most of them the reasoning behind their ways is that this isn't their main place for discussion, so they only visit on a whim now and then.

I do enjoy seeing what fans have to say about Dragonball.
I only really post when I feel I have some proper 2 cents to add to it or if I just feel like posting.
This forum has a great part of the fandom posting on it, going out of their way to post screenshots from boxsets and generally keep people up to date with what's happening. Thanks everyone.

It's pretty much the same thing with me. I would post if I had somthing to add to the discussion. But most of the time, somebody has already said what I would say and all I would be saying is, "Yeah! I agree with him!" or "Mondo cool guys!"Xell wrote:I only really post when I feel I have some proper 2 cents to add to it or if I just feel like posting.

I usually just lurk because I have nothing of great relevance to add to a conversation. (And that's not just here, but on every forum I frequent.)
I like hearing what others have to say because everyone here is usually well-informed.
I'll provide translation assistance or add a quip here or there, but that's the extent, from what it seems.

This is definitely one reason:
Addtionally, up until fairly recently, my internet access had been relatively limited in that I was only able to get online at Uni, my local library or if I happend to be at relative's/friend's house who had internet access, so for the most part I generally only had time to read through the various topics, rather than make any meaningful reply to them. Even having the internet at home now, it's through a dongle which I share with my sister, so I don't nessersarily have access to it all the time, even when I want to use it.
With all that said though, it's mainly because I just prefer to enjoy reading the discussions going on, and for the most part I just don't feel the need to post, and it allows me time to lurk in other forums of my other interests (I'm not a big poster in any forum) and visit other websites and blogs.
Which ironically is what I've done just now, but since I was specifically being called out and all (i.e. as a lurker), why not?Drabaz wrote:But most of the time, somebody has already said what I would say and all I would be saying is, "Yeah! I agree with him!" or "Mondo cool guys!"

This pretty much sums up the way I feel. The same thing really doesn't need to be said 3 or 4 times. It doesn't add to the conversation.darkhawk5 wrote:The reason I don't post very often is that people usually have a similar opinion to mine post first.
I do enjoy this site, and I thank all you guys for the screenshots, various reviews, and overall enjoyment of the Dragonball Franchise.

Everything I wanted to say has been written above.
Still, yeah it's fun to see what everyone's thinking/saying on these forums but by the time I get around to it, what I want to say has been said.
But if something's just too damn true/funny, I post a blurb.
Wow, I didn't know I was labeled as a creepy sounding "lurker."

I'm kinda a board stalker. I read a lot of the stuff and occasionally post. I usually have stuff to say but choose not to. Here and Kanzentai are where I go for my Dragonball info.
