Do you "lurk" at any message boards? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I do at 3. All sports related. A NY Yankees board, a NY Islanders board, and a NY Jets board. Read them frequently but have never bothered to sign up.

Is lurking the same as being a member, and if so, I'm a member of 6 other forums, some very slow, some very boring and a couple of angry ones, but I can hold my own on this one and they are relentless, I come and go there..I have some favorite topics and that's my M.O.

I've lurked at Home Theater Forum once in awhile, whenever it pops up on a search for some info. Same with the Steve Hoffman forum.

TOP DEFINITION
lurk
On a messageboard or anything similar, to browse the board very often, but without ever posting anything.

“That guy is always lurking, but he never posts”

I have a Reddit account but almost never post there.

I lurked at the IMDB message boards back in the day.

I used to lurk at this site for a few years before joining, though it was mostly just the Green Acres forum.

I'm not a lurker, if I find a forum that looks like it's up my alley, I will join, and I've found in the last 6 months or so, some forums are so hard to join, that I give up and go on to look for another. And for me, I'm kinda getting worn out of them. That may change, maybe not. I find the Games to be the good diversion.

I lurked here for several months before joining, and that was just to read the Leave It To Beaver page as I was getting back into the re runs. I was a member of another site, don't even remember the name, but it had various categories including TV, when it closed down I joined SOL.

I lurk various tech/computer forums like Tom's Hardware.

I lurk the Goodreads forums for books to read. Sometimes lurk reddit for similar.

I don't lurk on forums. I may check it out for a couple of days and decide if I like it enough to join.

I used to lurk around on a lot of adult (BDSM) messageboards around Yahoo! as I was too young to join. This was when I must have been around 14-15 around 1999-2000. Those were the days.. lol. Those Yahoo! forums are long defunct.
