Poll of the Day > This board is too dead for lurkers to still exist right?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like, I remember lurking 15+ years ago before I actually started posting, but I cant imagine there being enough traffic on this site for that to still be a thing. Any lurkers out there?

Only when their account is involuntarily set to read-only purgatory.

This; the mods hate us

Hello.

i think I qualify. This will be my 29th active message and most of them are on other boards.

not sure how long Ive been around g.fs, but I do enjoy lurking!!

I know I qualify as a lurker. This will be my only active message, and I've been coming to this board about as long as I had this account.

Obviously I don't stay here too long as the board doesn't move fast, but I do like coming here and reading the posts.

I've never been much of a poster here, and even at my most active I would still have considered myself an unknown by most users.

I don't know why I don't post more, but I do love coming back here and seeing everyone.

Lurker 4 lyfe, lol.

I am kinda a lurker but I don't use gamefaqs as much as I did in like 2006-2008

I've just been on and off with accounts since then

If there's less people posting that means there are more people lurking, right?

Do lurkers see regulars as characters in a story and get bored out of their arcs? Lurkers who's had the best arcs so far?

in a board as small as this, everyone is an attention whore

Been lurking for years. There's usually a topic in here that interests me from time to time and maybe ambush my opinion in one once every few months or so lol

Is this the topic we all bring out our alts and pretend they are lurkers?

I almost never post.

Sometimes I check up on old accounts I remember out of nostalgia and see recent visitation but no activity. So there probably are still plenty of lurkers. Unless they've just migrated to CE...

I figured Id draw the last couple of them out, but I didnt expect to see chelle.

Chelle poked their head in a topic about Duckbear earlier after they were mentioned. Seems they are indeed a lurker.

Wait, you guys don't actually think that's chelle, right? Someone just took the name years after the fact when it became available

All those lurker alts though...

I have zero alts b/c I am cool.

I remember I was the one to originally do that, and they banned it just for the name, and then someone else made one with functionally the same name and they didn't ban it.

I keep this place bookmarked because it's more or less "the town I grew up in" when it comes to my internet presence, but I don't really browse it even as a lurker.. Just the occasional popping in once or twice per year..
