Rep Power: 21 | I'm trying to be a non-lurker. I kind of set myself a goal of having a PPD count of 1.00 by the end of the year, without resorting to posting absolute bull crap. I'd like to be more active in the IRC too, but I dunno yet. Trying to get some rep here first before I start being super annoying.

Rep Power: 13  | I rather have lurkers than trolls, that being said, I imagine people's real life introvert/extrovertness have a direct correlation to their post count. Dunno, just a theory of mine.

Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 233 | It also comes down to how many other forums you visit. This is my only forum I visit, so it translates into a lotta posts.  Plus I've been here so long that 20k posts isn't that much. I mean it averages out to only 11 a day which isn't really that many.

Car: 1996 Grand Am SE sedan, and dad's 2006 S60 2.5T Rep Power: 41 | I followed Viper's old site religiously after I discovered Top Gear back in 2003. Then I lurked on the forum for a year before joining, many would argue that I should have stayed a lurker

Rep Power: 0 | I suppose it can come down to a few points... I am new here so bear with me  1. Some people who have seen the bad forums around the Internet and treatment of the Newly Registered want to make certain they won't end up getting toasted by the uber-leet (excuse the parlance) and the strongly-opinionated, as we are all from different backgrounds, levels of knowledge and interests, and perhaps levels of sanity - The Sensitive Bunch 2. People who keep thinking that they will join up, but constantly put it off - The 'I've Never Had A Deadline In My Life' Group 3. People who just enjoy reading what other people write, although not in a stalkerish way, but don't feel they need to contribute (or want the vids) - The Approving Silent Partners The final group is the Enlightened, he or she who joins up, wanders between all groups and generally finds that joining up was a good choice after all No pressure on the lurkers, of course. |

Car: Vauxhall Zafira 1.9 TDI Slush box. Rep Power: 50 | I have never lurked in my life - I just LOVE the show, and I am actually glad that others (from where ever) love it too. And can I say that generally this is a great place to be with people who share the same car based idealism. |
