I guess i probally should have edited this thread and move Mouri's and Ursula's conversation to their own thread, however, Grilldog's are lazy dogs sometimes so let's get back on track here... I was once again arching my back as more of my "friends" were requesting free DVD's. These people have not even shown up for a filming, joined my forum or anything! So, with that fueling my brain, i started the contest here. If anyone wants a free DVD they'll just have to earn it. I have no problem with that and I look forward to the results! woo hoo
sorry we deviated gdog ... actually once i start talking .. it becomes so hard to keep track of what i was talking about .. and u r right .. larkers are a nuisance ..
That's not a problem Mouri, my forum is for people to have conversations and if the deviate from the Main topic, who cares as long as they are not spamming me. If it gets too way out, I may say something but I'm pretty laid back.
hey i found something funny on lurkers .. its a poem written by Jo Walton ..

here it goes ..

"Lurkers Support Me in Email".

The Lurkers support me in e-mail
They all think I'm great don't you know.
You posters just don't understand me
But soon you will reap what you sow.
Lurkers, lurkers, lurkers support me, you'll see, you'll see
Off in e-mail the lurkers support me, you'll see.
The lurkers support me in e-mail
"So why don't they post?" you all cry
They're scared of your hostile intentions
They just can't be as brave as I.
Lurkers, lurkers, lurkers support me, you'll see, you'll see
Off in e-mail the lurkers support me, you'll see.
One day I'll round up all my lurkers
We'll have a newsgroup of our own
Without all this flak from you morons
My lurkers will post round my throne.
Lurkers, lurkers, lurkers support me, you'll see, you'll see
Off in e-mail the lurkers support me, you'll see.

that's pretty smart, guess he was having the same problems I have. I have no idea why people will visit a forum, and want to say something so they just email me. It's a forum for posting not emailing!!!!

wikipedia Wrote:
In flame wars, a person who is losing the argument and being ganged up on from all sides will sometimes make the claim that he is receiving email support from lurkers who are afraid join in the discussion. Such arguments are looked down upon since they cannot be proven without posting the emails, which is considered bad netiquette.

Such claims inspired Jo Walton to write the filk "Lurkers Support Me in Email".


.. was the reason i found .. i also found a classification of lurkers ...
here they are...

Malevolent lurkers
Some lurkers may attempt to heavily involve themselves in the administration of a moderated forum by repeatedly alerting moderators to comments which offend their political or moral point of view, but refrain from participating in the discussion directly. Some of these lurkers occasionally post comments praising moderators, usually in an effort to curry favor.


Benign lurkers
Most lurkers, however, are either shy, feel inadequately educated on a given topic, or are uncomfortable expressing their thoughts in written form on email lists. They enjoy reading others' posts and responses to them, but refrain from adding their own contributions. They have been known to send comments off-list, to individual posters, which are frequently positive.


Constructive lurkers
The constructive lurker is a person who regularly reads online forums but rarely posts. These individuals might have a high degree of sophistication within the topic of any given forum, but are unwilling to post detailed replies. Lurkers of this sort are not shy about posting. When these lurkers do post, they often provide well thought-out and detailed comment to the discussion at hand. A constructive lurker is often a veteran of several previous online discussion forums. Having been involved in many heated online discussions in the past, these lurkers often only contribute when the discussion takes a novel turn.


Smart-Ass lurkers
The "smart-ass lurker" is a person who watches a discussion take place, only to intervene with a derisive comment or "gotcha" comment that sends up the active participants (from a smug, detached position).


Perverted lurkers
The "perverted lurker" is a person who watches online discussions for the purposes of sexual arousal. They are often condemned by moderators and participants of topics such as women's issues and transsexualism, because they find their presence degrading. They may observe topics that are not prurient in and of themselves such as fashion, hair, and medical discussion boards. They may for instance, find something arousing in a discussion on breast cancer.



found all that from wikipedia !!!

Jeesh, I never knew they classified that stuff, that was certainly interesting Mouri, thanks for sharing that!
