Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Are you: A) A member who lurks on the forums all the time, just waiting for a post to happen. B) Someone who pops in and quickly checks for new posts, then leaves. C) Someone who only comes on if they have to ask a question. D) Someone that comes rarely and stays a while to read all the posts. I used to be an A, but now I'm a B.
fafalone Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 Unfortunately I've been type B as of late :/ I don't even read new posts, I just check the post count for the day, make sure theres nothing weird going on, and leave the computer. Probably going to be like this till early Septemeber.
jordan Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 I'm a combonation of A and B. If I respond in a thread to someone and see that they're still on line, I might hange around for a while to wait for them to reply. If I haven't posted anything lately for people to respond to, I'll just check mostly general discussion, general science, all the math ones, the politics and the religion. I leave the others alone. I guess for the most part I am a B.
Phi for All Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 I'm Type E. I start a thread when I have a question, I post when I have an opinion or an answer, I read old threads when I have the time and I respond when I get email notification. All of you are a great resource for perspectives I'm rarely exposed to in my personal and professional life. You are mentally and spiritually refreshing!
Phi for All Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 I love "others"! Sayo, you're no longer a ghost in the machine, what gives?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 20, 2004 Author Posted June 20, 2004 I notice Sayonara3 stays on for great lengths of time, though he might be doing other stuff at the same time.
Sayonara Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 I usually have SFN open all day and all evening. Often the "who's online" page will be refreshing in the background so I can see what is going on while I work.
Sayonara Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 The "who's online" page refreshes itself. If you have Opera, or Firefox with the "refresh every..." extension, you can make any page auto-refresh.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 20, 2004 Author Posted June 20, 2004 Wait a minute... Just a while ago you had 5,666 posts but now you have 5,662! And I thought spam was kept in a hidden forum...
Sayonara Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 Hmmmmm. Nothing suspicious in the admin logs, and there are only two people who could delete log entries. Careful lads, there's treachery afoot. /loads musket.
Crash Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 Id say im a mixture of b and D depending on what sort of mood or time limits i got, like now thanks to my suspension im a D.......
Phi for All Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I notice Sayonara3[/sup'] stays on for great lengths of time, though he might be doing other stuff at the same time. Sayo is usually in invisible mode, but briefly yesterday evening he showed up as online. I just wondered if his stealth suit was at the cleaners or something. Since trueLove hasn't made a reappearance, I noticed Sayo went back to Doomy Doom as a user title instead of To Protect and Sever. I feel like I've lost my Big Brother.
admiral_ju00 Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I'm the A type. Although one thing that is kind of bugging me is that (so far) 90% of the threads(there weren't many to begin with) that I start, these threads simply die off - no response and are generally completely ignored.

I had no posts on it for 2 weeks, with about 25 viewings. I PM'd fafalone to change the title but he never did. Then I got a post from Tesseract, and you and Sayonara commented on his use of smilies but not to my thread. The viewings went up to like 80 but I still got only one opinion posted. I'm still not sure if I just put it badly or simply left no room for discussion.
admiral_ju00 Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Actually, I was and to a degree, still am of an opinion that between your post and Tesseract's, there wasn't that much room for debate.
YT2095 Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 D lately, but A when I have time, but mostly Other, with a bit of B and C the rest of the time

aommaster Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Well, I'm kind of between A and B. I only come to check new posts (which is almost all of the time!). I don't really stay and lurk around except when there is an active conversation between me and someone else on a thread. Then, I wait till the other user posts! Otehrwise, I'm B, but I have gone for A as it is the type that best fits me!
MolecularMan14 Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I'm Type E.

All of you are a great resource for perspectives I'm rarely exposed to in my personal and professional life. You are mentally and spiritually refreshing![/quote'] Just about the same here. I lurk when Ive not busy; I come in and out when I am; I start threads when I have questions (as you can see ), but Im not really a D, I show up pretty often around here.
