'Sup IJBM.
So.
You don't know me. But I've been lurking this forum for months now, quietly watching, taking in all the delicious drama. Never posting. I recall you having a discussion about lurkers a couple of months ago. Some of you were saying you find lurkers rather creepy. Well, if that's the case - and I've been wanting to ask this anyway - how does it make you feel that the silent, regular lurkers to this forum (outside of SA, TvTropes and such, mind you) far, far, outnumber the posters? I mean, I goofed around on Omegle once and mentioned Chagen - the guy instantly recognised the place and said that the lurkers are many. Well, now that Chagen's gone, much of the hilarity has obviously been lost, but still...

Anyway, sup. I don't really find lurkers creepy.
what a waste, dude.
We need some fresh blood. Much like the vampires.
As for Chagen, I think he's kind of infamous on several sites. He has his own page on Encyclopedia Dramatica, after all. That takes some dedication.
I'll admit to some degree of disturbance with this information, though. I was under the impression that lurkers were few, and that the posts were mostly read by the insular nerd community here, some TVT members and SA shitstirrers.
How many people, now, have actually seen Ica's penis?
"how does it make you feel that the silent, regular lurkers to this forum (outside of SA, TvTropes and such, mind you) far, far, outnumber the posters?"
How many of those are bots? Got a few infiltrating my Photobucket, so it's not like I'm not used to the images I uploaded getting used by creepy sounding sites.
I wasn't even aware that there were that many lurkers that weren't part of TVT or IJBM or that one SA thread.
At the same time, though, it's not all that surprising.
I honestly don't see what's particulrly bd about it. Especially as getting involved in arguments here seems like a waste of time most of the time
"Well, now that Chagen's gone, much of the hilarity has obviously been lost, but still..."
A world in which I am seen as Chagen's friend is not a world I want to live in
And yeah, most of the DRAMAAAAAAAAAAAAA posters are gone at this point.
This made my day.
EDIT: *Looks up the ED article.* Wait, THAT'S what Chagen looks like? Oh god this REALLY made my day.
