Lurkers
« on: October 14, 2003, 07:17:26 PM »
You know, most of the time I'm on the site I see that we've got at least one 'guest' listed at the bottom.  It makes me curious.  Who are all these lurkers, and how can they possibly resist joining in our witty banter?

I blame spriggan.



Otherwise i guess they do the same thing i do on webcomic forums - they take a gander at the forum after reading the comic (reviews) but never bother to post or whatnot. After all, how many forums do you frequent? How many websites do you visit have forums? Are the two numbers the same? :)
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

That might be our good friend Dravner. He foolishly lost his log in. And instead of making a new one, he posts incognito.

I could find his log-in for him really easily...

As for boards and whatnot, this is the only one I ever read.  Afraid I'm not much of a forum-goer.

I post on the MOB (Joe the Circle's). There's only like 4 of us though, and it's just a futile hope, since we all know that MIke will never draw us another JtC comic...

I think if anyone is keeping the lurkers quiet, it's Entropy. He is, after all, the master of newbie slapdown.
