I lurked today thread.

We have tons and tons of people who don't really post but visit the site daily. I think it'd be neat if we just had a thread called "I lurked today" and people could just hit the thumbs up icon so that they're recorded as being here without actually having to type anything. I think it might be motivating to "those of us who post" to have a kind of head count for activity. Is this a good idea, or am I just being nutty?

My thought is that if this is accepted, we would just start a new topic everyday called, "I lurked today 9/24/2014" etc. It would also be a good way to track someone who is tied up in real life isses and still visits the site, but doesn't have a lot of time to post.

I think that would be an interesting experiment. Good idea

I like it. Sometimes it's oddly quiet around here and it's strange (and kind of encouraging) to think that a lot more people are here than we realize...

I like the Lurkers:

well, I think a lot of the lurkers are not registered... so I think they cannot thumbs up? good idea otherwise....

I lurked the codex today on the Grimoire thread. I feel a little dirty, I need a shower now.

GothicGothicness has it right. It is not possible to implement

I say we kill off the lurkers. Always hated those buggers jumping me in Gothic I or II.

Sorry about posting in necro thread.

Been lurking a lot and been pondering a lot lately. It was sad to say bye to another long time member (DArt) and upset about the fact most of the forums I visit are mostly inactive. I know things change but can't help feeling sad that the *communities* I used to belong are no longer there.

This is the only place I visit everyday although I don't plunge into discussion a lot. I find it difficult to participate in discussions because games no longer excites me. I've recently left my job which I blame for my chronic fatigue and frustration, hoping it will bring back some of lost passions in my life, including gaming. I would like to actively participate in discussions, maybe write a review on games etc.

I think the key it keep this place active is interacting with others. Share your experience, opinions while be respectful to others. At the moment, I see lack of posts or heated discussion which quickly becomes personal.

Please continue posting everyone! Please keep this place active. I used to love reading everyone's opinion and sometimes even share their life story.

I see more active female members here now too. Girls, how about some good discussion on girly stuff in off topic once a while? if boys wouldn't mind so much!

Some of you, including JDR, Kostas, Maylander, Wolfing, blatantninja, Relayer and many others, hope I will continue to see you around for a many more years.

Not enough games that people can find a consensus on, I think. Original Sin 2 might be such a game, but it has its separate forum. The gap between old-school or hardcore roleplayers and those enjoying mainstream games seems to become bigger. Of course there are a few who enjoy both (I'm not one of them).

But you have to sign in to thumbs up. Real lurkers don't sign in

There is one forum out there that's indestructible and probably will outlive us all.
No Mutants Allowed.

Lol, I used to love that website joxer!

It was one of my favourite internet places until it became a blast Bethesda website...

Then it even did a 180 and loved Bethesda
