After looking at my profile today I just realised that I am "He who lurks":

Just thought of a fun way to create a Member's lurking power level

Take days since you've joined (D)
and divide by posts per day (P)

D/P = Lurker Level

1143/0.41 = 2787

2787 isn't too bad of a Lurker Level.

Wonder who has the highest that is currently active on the thread?

Anyone over.... ya know..... We'll call it the Napa Threshold


If anyone likes the idea, put it in the OP so it can be a thing.

not so much.

Edit: Just realized I have almost as many posts on GAF as I do kills on CS:GO. What am I doing with my life.
 
I post occasionally.

I lurk more on GAF than elsewhere because my opinion dissents a lot from what GAF believes on a lot of subjects, and I've seen what happens to those who are against the flow.
 
Pretty much. Though I go through waves where I'm more sociable/active at times.

A side-effect of GAF's strength in being de-cluttered from having too many sub-forums is that it moves very quickly. I'm more comfortable posting in slightly smaller communities.
 
Lurked for 7 years before deciding to make an account. There was a period in 2009 where Gaf had ads that kept redirecting me to an anti-virus site, so I stopped going for a year.
 
Ya'll need to learn how to lurk for realz.

I post from time to time. Not as much as I would like, though.

I've been a member since 08 and only have like 1,200 posts.

I just started being more active recently. I usually post if I have something to say or have a question.

Guess I'm a lurker.
 
Yeah I mostly just post in the RetroGAF threads. I still apparently have made over 4000 posts though, which is more than on most forums I've been a member of.

I'm also guilty of writing replies and then canceling them.

Oh yeah this. I'd probably have over 8000 posts if I had actually posted all those canceled replies.
 
In general, probably not within OT/Gaming forums.
I lurk a lot of off topic community threads hard though. Seldom posting in them despite following the conversation closely.
 
Kinda.

I don't make very many posts per day and half the time I actually do want to post something I end up deleting it.
 
I lurked for about 9months before I joined. I post slowly until i was a full member, Now I post consistently and frequently across a few communities and both boards.
 
You know...lurkers aren't really going to post in here.

I lurk more on the gaming side unless it's a game I'm either heavily invested in or has piqued my interest. Btw, I do have a higher post count, but most of those are in a community thread.
