I visit this forum at least once a day but I rarely ever post anything cause I don't have anything to say. Any other lurkers out there??

same, actually. I respond to discussions, but regardless of whether it's this forum or a real conversation, I don't say anything unless I have something worth saying.
and yes. I DO see the irony of that given my posts on this forum. shut up.

the really incredible thing is that i've been registered on this forum for over 8 years now
Wow, I'm fast-approaching my 10-year anniversary. Can't remember exact join-date though.
I lurk and delete petty flamewars between idiots in the Worms XBLA forums.

Yeah I'm in the same boat give or take a year or two. What have I done with my life?

Once every day or two, but I don't often post. The same could be said for a few forums I visit.

What ho! I pop in most days, only to OD, but don't post that often.
I joined in August '01, so it's been 10 years any day now. Heh.
I also lurk most days but hardily ever post. :cool:
50,530 hits yesterday on the forum. I'm aware about putting too much faith into hitcounters on sites, but that number still indicates to me a serious amount of lurkers.

I occasionally post but only when I really have something to add.
Edit: Also jesus christ I've been around for over 10 years, I've basically spent half my life here.

I tend to rely on Sup to let me know if anything interesting happens on the forum, these days, then pop by if it is.
However, with the recent beta test, I heard about it from T17's Twitter account and have been lurking around ever since. :)
PS: Had an idea for a spin-off thread from this. May post it later.
I click that custom T17 icon in my bookmarks toolbar too many times per day... :p
I usually check more than once a day.

I too check in daily but almost never post. I'm like that everywhere though; I write up posts all the time but never actually post them because I decide it's not worth it and that my contribution is probably just stupid anyway. I almost didn't post this hnnnnng
You'd think with all these people still lurking around we could get something going, though. Maybe some kind of game? I don't know.

Morning, all.
I generally check in (it's one of my default tabs when I load Firefox), but don't post much any more.
Also still two months to ten years, dammit :p.
Yeah I tend to check OD every day too. It's usually the first tab I open too. But it often feels contrived to post anything so I try not to do it unless I actually have something to say.
Nice turn out here though.

it's amusing how we ALL check this place every day, yet we just don't have anything to say.
I was thinking about putting up another stupid little quest thing with illustrations and just leaving it as open-ended and malleable as possible, but that could be because I was at work and needed something to think about.

I notice new threads (they show up in a gmail label, as do the occasional updates to threads I'm subscribed to), but I rarely click through to read them.

I leave a tab open with this forum when I load up Opera and it remains until it I turn my computer off.
But other websites can make that claim too.

We'll have more to say when we're collectively interested in something again.

Yeah there was a bit of a dry spell when university hit hard but I'm back in full-swing (https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/commits/master), implementing the Battlescape inventory now.

Yeah? Well, my fist begs to differ with your face! :mad:
Oh my god! You're right! The forum is turning me grumpy and I've only been back a few days! Somebody call an EXORCIST! I think this forum was built on the site of an old closed-down pub!* :eek:
