I have a question...


Maybe I'm imagining it but what's with all you Orgers going into 'lurk' mode all of a sudden?





It's something I've noticed a lot recently and - one by one - loads of regular Orgers have suddenly gone into hiding, only to pop up on a thread somewhere. Yet they're not logged on....





Are you all part of some secret Org cult? How do you join?

Or are you embarrassed by the amount of time you spend here?

Or maybe there's just a simple, personal, explanation.

Maybe you just love 'lurking'. It takes all sorts.



But why is everyone suddenly lurking all of a sudden?

YOU were one of the ones I was thinking of. But I didn't want to name any names.

What's happening?

I discovered that while in 'lurk' mode you don't get all the pop-ups saying soandso has logged in. I've got a long buddy list and it was starting to annoy me.

That, and sometimes I like to be sneaky.

CarrieMpls said:

Sneaky Sneaky! I like your answer.

Fair enough, I think my screen being filled with pop-ups would get on my nerves after a while.

Unless... YOU'RE in charge of the Lurk Cult. You have revealed yourself!

You just know all these bloody lurkers are reading this thread. Lurking away.

I knew it!!!



:bloominschloominblinkinlurkers:

OMG I never new you could lurk.

That's it, just call me lurky lurk from now on.

Go on! Just do it! Leave us! Close the door behind you!




(But tell me what they get up to in this secret cuilt, I wanna know ).

I'm such a fuck wit that I've edited my prefs twice and it hasn't worked!


Damn it!

This thread is stalkerish!

I'm not sure I want to promote lurking. If everybody does it, it won't be fun anymore.

Mods, I hereby request this thread be deleted. For the good of the cult. I mean, the org.

You know they've got a buffet spread in the lurkers head quarters.

Pardon??! I hope it doesn't seem like that.

It's just hard not to notice when you're logged on all day - and others aren't - yet they keep popping up left, right and centre. I've noticed it a few times in the last week or so.

What's your address, by the way?

CarrieMpls said:

Ignore her twisted words!

sj1600 said:

Skulking about in the secret HQ.

It's probably underground. Like a bomb shelter.


How do they see each other, though, when they're all lurking about?

I'm back!!

Did you miss me?




No?

Whatever - should be doing some work anyway.


Strops off to kettle to make cup of tea.

sj1600 said:

Of course you were missed.



What did you see? Was it like The Matrix? You've been to the other side.

onenitealone said:

No, it's all very over rated. The buffet was poor and there was no hot tea.

I was expecting the Matrix but it was more like Father Ted!

CarrieMpls said:

I have one person on my buddy list. And it's someone who never even posts here at all.

buddy list orgpops make me insane.

actually, orgpops make me insane.

i don't like things popping up when i don't expect them. it offends my control queen nature.

I'm avoiding a certain orger, that's my explanation.

sj1600 said:

They can shove it, then!

CarrieMpls said:

You again.

Has anyone got any 'anti-lurk' spray????

so, wait.

what's the relevant definition of "lurk" here?
