Are you a lurker?

I just can't post that much, I overthink my posts and/or figure I have nothing to add that wasn't already said.

I just talk the same way I would as if I was having a conversation in person. I would hate to sound like an encyclopedia on here, and then speak like Opie from Family Guy for real.

I don't post that much unless it's stuff I'm really interested in. Was actually surprised I had over 2000 posts. Heck, I just got my first avatar yesterday because I had been too lazy to get one before.

I’m not Goku, but Vegita and Napa now have to pick something out of their tail fur.

I am a lurker scrub.
 
Did the math but it didn't look right. I have just over 3k posts and been here since 2007. Can't say I lurk much but I am not that heavily active in any specific thing here.

Would be higher if I was to do the normal "." posts, "meme here" "u wot m8" "animated gif.gif" or other bullshit posts that explode around here. Tons of threads would be a lot smaller and more interesting if it wasn't for all the people posting that shit. Even the "obligatory" posts. Motherfuckers nothing is obligatory. If a thing reminds me of a thing then that should be for me. Its like the people on YouTube that post the shit I just seen in text.

Also in that time had 1 ban for commenting on girl drivers. Not anything extreme so that led to me posting less because all my subscription posts were deleted in the ban. Cant speak my mind might as well not talk/post.
 
I am the lurkiest lurker that ever lurked.

Yeah, I'm more a reader than a contributor.

I thought I was a lurker until this thread showed up.

I probably qualify as a lurker. It's not so much that I lurk, it's that I normally only like to post when I can actually provide something to the conversation.

Well, I talk even less in real life than I do on gaf, which is kind of the issue I have.
 
I bet Zyzic feels like Frank Lucas in American Gangster after wearing a mink coat at the big fight put him on law reinforcements radar.

I mostly lurk threads, usually I don't feel I have something to say about a topic.
 
Why not just invert the post rate, i.e days / posts? Seems weird to have (days) / (posts/days) = ((days)^2)/posts... unless you want to tie break two people with the same post rate, in which case the one with the most days wins under this ranking method.

Did it to try and emphasize length of time on GAF over post count. As in the longer you've gone with low post counts the better. That and I made it up quickly. Also put "members" to but a baseline at 300 posts. Though the one guy that's the highest is a member with way less than 300 posts haha
 
Of the people in this thread, I'm in third place.

Not too shabby.
 
Yes, I mostly lurk.

Most of the time I feel like I got nothing to add to conversations here other than a "true" or "lol".

I dont want to post just that.

Also, between work, traffic, working out and trying to get some gametime, I dont have a lot of time to keep making huge posts.

So I browse GAF multiple times a day but mostly read it.

Want to participate more but need more free time I guess :/

EDIT - Oh my lurk level

I'm here all the time, get 99% of my gaming news here, coming up on 10 years. I believe I joined around the time Halo 2 released? This is a guess.

Some of you are truly hardcore, legendary even.
 
I always find those with a super low post count (as in less than 0.1 posts per day) to be a little weird. Like, you just randomly decide to post on GAF once a month or something? I dunno, I don't get it.

There was this guy in FaceGAF that had like 16 posts or something, all of them just pics of himself posted in there.

I don't get it.

I think some of them might be alt accounts.

As for myself, I was a pretty big lurker until I finally decided to create an account. Been pretty active ever since.

My lurker level is ... 505.

I suppose I'm active enough, but I don't post a lot either. I lurked for years before making an account too.
 
I think I'm in the lurker elite:

Then again, I've been lurking since about 2006.
