Taunt The Lurkers

a worried Pleiades begins fervently creating a spreadsheet to track post count execution metrics and devises a plan of action that will forecast to be at 60k posts within a year
( I'm a lil shy tho ) *traces floor with toe of boot*
 
I hear that [MENTION=13999]Pleiades[/MENTION] can only communicate with people in real life by grunting and throwing rocks

it's not lurking if you're signed in and reading, though, right?? I often thumb and rep but don't post...or if I post, I then delete it immediately lol

[MENTION=6917]sprinkles[/MENTION] called [MENTION=14092]Asa[/MENTION] a Lurker and I don't think she is...she's here..she's just new. I'm relatively new, too...
What is the definitive lurking criteria? to lurk or not to lurk --

If you go a lot of days without posting, you are a lurker. That's internet jargon. It's an established thing and has been for a long time.

In internet slang, to lurk means to quietly observe. In some circles people are expected to lurk until they learn how to fit in through observing the customs of the community.

Pleiades: In sprinkles defense, I called myself a lurker first. :) Thank you, though. Just don't want to gang up on sprinkles. :D

Lurking isn't a bad term on the internet anyway. Creeping is bad. Lurking is in some ways good or respected.
 
I hear trolling NF's is [MENTION=472]Poetic Justice[/MENTION] 's favorite pastime. Being an INTP, it's just a given, I suppose. :p

So this is Trolling...? why do you do it?

Nah, that's not trolling. Trolling is usually meant to incite irrational meltdowns for more fun to poke at in highly negative ways. This is just [MENTION=472]Poetic Justice[/MENTION] being humorous as a way to connect with those in the community. It's actually a way that INTP's show affection. :p

New to forums huh?

No i'm not trolling i'm just being playful. Please don't be offended. You will come across this kind of humour a lot on this forum. In fact there are threads dedicated to it.

Let me break it down for you:

Lurking = reading but not posting. This is not a bad thing. If that's what people want to do then fine. The purpose of this thread isn't to be mean to people. Its to encourage people to post who don't currently. A playful challenge is worth a shot

Trolling = being a dick. Not playful banter. Just being a dick. Messing up threads by being needlessly argumentative etc.

I genuinely thought you would find my posts about you funny. That's how they were meant to be taken :hug:
