Poster, or Lurker?

[Nolafus]

Are you a poster and have to post in every thread you click on, or are you a lurker and rarely post, but prefer to see what other people post? Why did you choose your answer? Do you have any weird posting habits you have noticed?

I feel like I'm a combination of the two, but lean heavier on the lurker side of things. I'll click on various threads, but won't really post. I'll post on topics I feel like answering, but half of the time I just don't feel like answering. The only places on here I feel bad about not posting on topics is here in the Chit Chat and Polls, and in the Fan Fiction and Writing sections. I have no idea why I feel like that. I guess I'm not much of a conversationalist and I have to really try to be a part of a conversation, whether it's here or in various chatrooms.

I try and post in whatever thread I view, koff~

Some threads I just read up on. If I don't have anything to offer I tend not to say anything. I don't just go posting left and right on things I have no opinion or input. I try not to post every other time (I post, you post, I post) and wait for someone else to get their say in. I try to leave threads better than I found them, koffi~

 

[Sirfetch’d]

I post in threads that interest me or I will post if I feel like I can make a good contribution to the discussion at hand. Otherwise I won't post because I don't see a need to.

 

[Firox]

Depends on the topic, I guess I would be more like 70% poster - 30% lurker.... I tend to post in most topics I click on if I can contribute something, but at times I'll open a topic I"m interested in just reading (especially on some that are more than 4 months old to post in)

 

[Hikamaru]

I'm mostly a poster, although there can be times where I am a lurker and that's usually if I can't find anywhere to post.

 

[Aeroblast]

I'd say I post about 73.6% of the time.

 

[Sydian]

My post count is almost 23k and I'm not going to say anything more.

 

[xseed]

I am a poster all the way. I feel that whenever I visit a thread I just HAVE to write something lol.(unless of course I dont know what to write lol)

 

[Sweets Witch]

I lurk a lot more than I think I do, but usually because I'll think about posting but then when I actually type out my post I'll look at it and think it's not worth it.

 

[Flushed]

I find when the topic has a lot of posts already, I'm more of a lurker, because what I want to say has already been said. So you'll see me post a lot in the newer threads. It's not that I need to get my point across before anyone else, idk, it's just how I operate.

 

[Aslan]

I post in threads that interest me or that I like to keep up with. But I generally post five times a week to the max. I find it hard writing posts all the time and there are not that many threads that catch my eye. Plus life's been busy so I don't have the enthusiasm from before. I try to post but I generally just lurk and see who makes good posts/responses etc. :p

 

[Crux]

I'm more of a lurker, I guess. I'll post in a thread if I want to, but more often read, leave, and then possibly return to post later.

I seem to be becoming more and more of a lurker, lately, again. As I was before I joined.

 

[Arc]

I'm more of a lurker than a poster. My post count pretty much proves that xD.

I prefer reading post rather than actually posting. So overall, I'm like 80% lurker and 20% poster.

 

[Kanzler]

I'm more of a poster than a lurker. If there isn't an opportunity to post, I'll make an opportunity to post.

 

[Hiatus]

Last year, I've been lurking the forums entirely, but this year, I've decided to turn myself into an active poster. I have a lot of free time on my hands than I did last year, so I needed something to spend my time with other than playing video games. Usually, I post reply to a thread if I have something good to say. If I don't have much things to say, or if I don't have anything to say at all, then I will just read what other people have posted and leave. I'll come back to the thread later when I'm able to think of something that contributes to the conversation. n__n

 

[«Chuckles»]

definite poster I manage around 6-7 posts daily and am looking to increase that

 

[Sammi]

I've become a lurker. I still log on at least every other day, if not daily... just can't be bothered to post much anymore. So sad. ;__; except very few people care, amirite

While I was active, I'd post in CCP, but lurk other forums. This is still the only forum where I'll post.

 

[alisaie]

I do both. I'll lurk around the forum until I find a thread that I wish to post in and I'll post in it. That said I venture into most areas of PC but I only post more in some areas than in others because of whether or not I have to say anything. Like General Entertainment I go there and lurk but I normally don't post there because most of the things there I don't watch or something so I can't contribute.

 

[Sheep]

A full-out poster. I have no life and am proud of it. It took me an entire year to get to 1,000 posts but the year after I shot up from 1k to 5k.. whee. It's hard to stop. :(

 

[Guy]

All of my accounts added together, I've accumulated well over 15,000 posts here. So I'm definitely more of the poster kind than I am a lurker. On occasion, however, I'll find myself lurking in various threads that have a topic that interests me, because I'm curious what other people are saying, but I have no actual interest in posting in. Unless I think of something to say or comment on, then maybe I might.
