If you're a lurker of this fine forum, please join and make an ass or yourself as you invariably will. If not, then this is the last time I extend my hand in friendship to you goddamn lurkers.

Do I count as a lurker?

I'm around much more often than when I post, really.

Aw, do we have to?

Aw, do we have to?
Yes, or your eyes will be gouged by angry sloths.

There is no law against lurking. But it does make the hair on the back of neck some posters stand-up.

*Do it! Do it! Do it!*

Yes, or your eyes will be gouged by angry sloths.
But... But I like my eyes! *goes off to stop lurking and post more*

Normally I forget about the lurkers... now I'm a little freaked out!

Oh screw THAT! These are brand new eyes!!

Did you honestly think that Generalites only read your threads? Hah, there are dozens of lurkers who read and fantasize about your threads.

I suddenly imagined a man in a dark trenchcoat attempting to discreetly masterbate to one of threads... I threw up a little...

Way to go!

Well, I guess I qualify as a lurker... but in my defense, reading all these threads is a million times more interesting than actually participating. I'm only posting here in the interest of not having my eyes gouged out by sloths.

That's my new sig. A trophy if you will.

I definitely don't do that. I'm not even a man, for one thing.

Strangely, i thought the same thing, and i posted, and just afterwards, i realized
"Wait a minute, what the hell? i can TOTALLY take out a sloth!"

i move that the eye gouging be relegated to a more dangerous, swift and cunning animal.
Like an owlverine.

That's my new sig. A trophy if you will.
Have the decency to correct it and add the word "my". The amount of times I'm quoted with spelling and grammatic errors is astounding...

I definitely don't do that. I'm not even a man, for one thing.
I appreciate that. It takes alot of guts to lurk in the forum and not grow a penis, buy a dark trenchcoat & masterbate...

[QUOTE=Anarchtyca]

I am new to NationStates and have not posted to the forums much yet (just a few). Wanted to say that that I like your nation's name, Anarchtyca, and your nation's profile. It is very similar to what Donnegaan is aiming for. :cool:

... Laid back weirdos who like as little government as possible except to be sure that the rich pay their damned taxes! :p

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it. Bring on the massive amounts of food, some good friends, and all the rest of it.

Yay for me, I'm in NK's sig!

Now I see why Lurkers shouldn't post... ;)

Come on! I know that there are more lurkers!

Yay for me, I'm in NK's sig!

Shall the peasantry commence with the groveling?

Yay for me, I'm in NK's sig!
You're one of the few who have been there. Others include Colodia, TSI, and Grampus.

Ah, but most of them are too busy masturbating in their trenchcoats to post here.

Yes, or your eyes will be gouged by angry sloths.

realy now...

*pulls out anti-sloth sheild, goes back into the darkness...*

*evil laugh*
^ just for the heck of it... :p

As soon as the dancing girls arrive...

Ah, but most of them are too busy masturbating in their trenchcoats to post here.
It only takes three minutes.

You're one of the few who have been there. Others include Colodia, TSI, and Grampus.
As you can see, I take a similar policy with my sig. I need to start upping the definition of "badass". Too many people are developing half-decent wits...

I suppose I'm a lurker. I don't have the time or resources to back up any argument. I'm honestly not a good debater, so I just read the threads and learn.

I do respect everyone's posts, and I am often appalled by the ad hominems and general anger though.

As soon as the dancing girls arrive...

/...dancing girls?!.../

*gets close enough to the edge of the darkness to see...*

No, no I think it's more that your standards have dropped.

I want to see twenty lurkers come out of the darkness, or I will destroy all of the puppies.

No! Someone think of the puppies?!

No one else come out.

@Rotovia:
And how many shall be reduced to poverty for this occasion?

No! Someone think of the puppies?!
Then get the lurkers out! Generalites are retiring all of the time. Who could be next? We need a fresh batch to corrupt if we want the forum to survive.


Think of the puppies.

Do I count?Twenty more posters after you.

Sinuhue, does this mean one of my conspiracy theories was correct? :eek:

No one else come out.

@Rotovia:

Depends on m mood...;)

None of your theories are correct. I've read them all.

Oh really? Please name some, because I honestly can't remember.

on second thought...

*comes back to the edge of the darkness*

Well, I guess that means I'm a superlurker...one of my few posts ever here... eh

This forum is to white-oriented for me. Need some darker colors. All white-backgrounds make my eyes bleed. 'Course, I never check to see if there are any 'skins available that could change that...

I've become a bit of a lurker as of late. :p

Damn it, more lurkers or...

I'm being kind here. Who will carry on the legacy of General?

Yes, or your eyes will be gouged by angry sloths.

What kind? Two toed three toed?

Im kind of partial to the three toed myself.

Two toed, so it's an even slower death.

Hell, I don't wear my trenchcoat when I'm at home alone! No need to be discreet!

"Hi, I'm Lord Grey II, and I'm a Lurker."
"Welcome Lord Grey II. Congratulations, the first step is admitting you have a problem."

Anytime I post someone always yells at me for this or that.

There there

*steals his wallet*

No, I'm pretty sure it was directed at me.

*steals his wallet*

Oi! Give that back!

By your command?:p

By your command?:p
Now, stay and post some more. You could be the next Jesussaves or RedArrow.

You might pretend you don't like being watched from the lurking shadows. But secretly, you enjoy it. I know.

*lurk, menace, loom, etc*

Oi! Give that back!
Sure, why not

*removes cash and returns*

:p

Two toed, so it's an even slower death.

Well, atleast its still a sloth and not you know, a salmon.

Now, stay and post some more. You could be the next Jesussaves or RedArrow.

Hmm... since I'm still pretty new here, I'm not sure whether I've just been insulted or not...

So, I'll take it as not. Don't burst my bubble.

They were famous. I'll tell you that much.

ah...so thats your game is it...

*dons tinfoil hat*

I feel like a lurker these days, because there is simply nothing worth posting in

I am posting here to keep my eyes in my head. I don't consider myself a lurker, I just only post if I have something useful to add. I have created some threads, and my post count is so low because I unfortunetly can't spend as much time as I want on the NS forums.

[QUOTE=Donnegaan]

Ooooh. Direct hit! Nicely done. ;) Group hugs like that could be a reason lurkers lurk.
:fluffle:

I agree, I love reading threads about some controversial issue. I laugh my ass off.

I just only post if I have something useful to add.

ditto

Since lurkers generally read an entire thread or story before thinking about posting, and not just throwing random stuff out, I'm probably not a lurker. Generally, there's better literature than internet stories and whatnot, infact, I've never seen a story here on NS, but then again, I just chill out in General. Where I can SPAM! Because I hear people don't take a liking to it in the other...um...stuff.

I just only post if I have something useful to add
One day, friend, you will fall, YOU WILL FALL TO THE DARK SIDE! You too, ditto-man. :p

I laugh my ass off.
Well, me too. :D

Nevah.

One question: What is a lurker?

I wonder how many people know me now and I've never even spoken with them...:eek:

*lurks*

One question: What is a lurker?

Someone who reads a forum but never or extremely rarely posts anything.

Total opposite of a post whore, who posts stuff but never reads the threads they're posting in;)

I see... Oh my then I'm a lurker:eek:

I see... Oh my then I'm a lurker:eek:

Yep. Me too, then.

I see... Oh my then I'm a lurker:eek:

I dunno, you're posting an average of more than one post per day. Doesn't sound lurkerish to me

Ah well what to say?
"say something funny"

My NAME IS ALIHONGO!
"No something funny, not your usual oddness"

But i can't think of anything, i can't be spontantious on demand, Darn it!
Maybe i'll just go back to trying to find funny threads, comming up with ideas and then discovering that someone has alreadyed posted my idea, or i could try pissing off the Star wars fans...

"Or you could kill them all"
Voice, i like your style...

They were famous. I'll tell you that much.

True, but they were hardly in the same league. Jesussaves was the Blodwyn Pig to TRA's Led Zeppelin.

Wow...I didn't think that people would actually want to read all this tripe and not contribute!
C'mon, General's the most entertaining thing on the net!
But chasing down all the links to back up everything I'd like to say would be a pain, so there's a lot of threads I don't end up posting in.

I wonder how many people know me now and I've never even spoken with them...:eek:
Technically you haven't spoken to anyone on General. :eek:

I exist. Pick me.

ive been here just short of two years and only have
<== that many posts...

How exactly do you define a lurker though? I read a lot more threads than I actually post in, but you can see by my count that I do make some posts.

I don't feel like making an ass of myself, thank you. The people on here are intelligent, but some of them are just downright mean, and I don't care to have what little beliefs I have stomped, spat, and shat on.

I'll stick to lurking...I'm too highly impressionable to put many of my thoughts on this forum. I have enough trouble as it is finding things to believe in, I don't need others challenging me, stupid as it sounds.

-Asylum Nova

I didn't used to be a lurker, but then somebody stepped on my face for no reason and opened my eyes as it were to how angry and mean most of the people are around here when they're debating stuff. I'll throw in a post here and there on non-important subjects, but I'm more into protecting my self-esteem than anything. Who needs to cry over something on a forum anyway?

I see... Oh my then I'm a lurker:eek:
Actually, Lurkers don't start threads. You are much more active than the average lurker, sorry. And this is coming from a former lurker, who then realized that my opinions were better than most who were posting, only then to realize that no-one really cares, and now, I just come here to waste time. :D

I am afraid for your sanithy Neo K.

Yep. Me too, then.
Yeah me too :eek:

Yeah me too :eek:

Damn lurkers

Just a lurker with over 7000 posts :D
