Lurkers

WTF? There’s nearly two thousand members and it’s always the same 30 people that post here. What?! Am I a clown? Are we here for your entertainment?

Everytime I check the ‘who’s on line’ feature it’s just 50 - 60 guests etc leaching information and printing topics etc.

Don’t be scared. Just join and post something. How about you entertain me?

:wink:

Ok, I’m bored and I have cabin fever from sitting inside all day. . . .

/rant

Yeah c’mon you cunts
bring it on.

they’re vultures to pick at the “for sale” threads.
weather sucks today :frowning:

perhaps they have learned not to say anything because when they do everyone just comments on their low post count and runs them out of town.
just a thought :roll:

Hmmmm, I have no idea why many people won’t post here. :roll:

Thats it! your Blocked!!

If you don’t post don’t read. :evil:

You guys got the hang of it, it ain’t that hard.

So are you guys bored and looking to stir the pot?

haha i read this an instantly felt the need to post. ummmm… yea

them’s lurkers here!

…and if you put something up for sale, doesn’t that mean you want money for the thing you are selling. Even Vultures money? :smiley:

Nah, i rekon its ok to not post.
I dont mind lurkers, if they dont wanna talk thats fine, but we are all pretty harmless unless you are homophobic, sexist, racist, bogan, or 100% full of shit.

If you have something to offer, offer. If not look; listen, learn, whatever.

I DO think its rude to just come for the sale posts. thats fucked up.

Admins: is there a way to implement a 10 posts min before posting in for sale?

I’d rather have quality posts than QUANTITY… :expressionless:

That’s what I thought, cool.

best way to introduce yourselves is starting a thread asking -

*where can i buy a fixed gear bike?
*what is the best type of fixed gear bike and colour does it come in?
*where can i get my frame painted?
*where can i get (insert accessory) in (insert colour) to match my frame?
*where can i get a second hand (NJS frame/aerospoke/other super hip and expensive component) for under (insert price that wouldn’t even cover cost of shipping) in melbourne?
*say, that cadel fellow looks like a swell chap with a great attitude, who agrees?
*hi, i made a fixed gear recumbent, can i come on the Wednesday ride?

best way to make new friends for sure.

and don’t forget -

Leachers: :lol:

Maybe we need a ‘noobie’ section, so all those noobie questions can be put there, and posters can post questions without being afraid as people replying will expect nothing but uber noob questions?

Might as well stickie sheldon brown links as well.

When i first joined earlier this year i did think the site was a little elite, and by that i mean not really a place for noobs unless they’re either happy to be flamed or happy to lurk. As we can see, the latter is the more popular option.

just me 2 pence werF

re: forum newbies

what benefit could there be in an encyclopedic knowledge of bike parts and a high-level ability to use search functions and google, if not to intimidate and distress new forum users?

I dont understand the big deal but whatever.
