I am NOT a Lurker

[JanetB]

The "Saint" may also not go down well with all and as for the repeated posts, that it is just an individuals effort.

These 'Status Titles' should really be seen as a fun title and should reflect a jovial expression not to be taken serious or equate to status at all.

Another Forum I frequently visit calls them "Moods" and lets the member pick a choice of maybe 20 different 'moods'. These are in colour, fun and neutral titled and can be selected via ones profile and changed.

I like that idea

It is not fun being something that is not a true statement of what you are - I post on here to be helpful and contribute - not to LURK - agh!

I am proud to announce, with just a hint of regret, that I am no longer a Lurker.....So I don't know what you are all moaning about

Ha-ha! - Congratulations Diehard! - see you soon...

[kazeran]

Actually.....come to think of it "Diehard" is a little derogatory, I mean it implies that no matter how much anyone tries, they wont get rid of you, I am now labelled as obstinate....."Thinks"......I may have been better off as a Lurker..?

No - Lurker is totally wrong - to quote wikipedia: "In Internet culture, a lurker is typically a member of an online community who observes, but does not actively participate"

Diehard is also very determined and loyal - much better!

Die Hard (free online dictionary); Stubbornly resisting change or clinging to a seemingly hopeless or outdated cause... :O

true! - especially the hopeless bit! ;-)

[kazeran]

Maybe, I should start a "I am not a Die Hard" thread? or do you think that would be pointless?.....oops.

no - hopeless! - I'll support you though, because that'll be me soon at this rate!
