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.

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.

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:
