I think we have too many lurkers...
 
You heard me right. Just look at the newest member to register: LMAO. Either this person just has a sense of humor or is looking to cause trouble. There was also "i_hate_karpo"...I can't even begin to imagine who that would be.

So this is a message to any lurkers and potential troublemakers: don't even bother to cause mischief on here because your IP will be traced faster you can say "cowabunga". And if some of you are from where I'm thinking, you might as well just go home and get a life, because this is a completely different world and community.

Thank you. We may all now get back to our normal forum postings.

Excuse me, since when have you become a mod?!? :dead:

He's just looking out for the forum. Admirable. But lurkers are not the problem. It's the people posting offensive messages that are the problem. Also, lurkers tend to, well, lurk on a board for awhile to get a feel for the place. Don't judge a person by their screen name. Prejudices like that may turn away many more good members than bad posters. They haven't done anything wrong yet.

Karpo_007 12-19-2002 03:19 PM

Can I judge i_hate_karpo's screen name? :lol:

And yeah we have many lurkers and False members. From 400 members, only about 150 has more than 10 posts.

Excuse me, since when did you have to be a brat? It's no wonder you've got a warning! You open your cake hole when there's no need to.

Did I not say that EITHER that person was going to cause trouble OR just had a harmless sense of humor? I thought so...sorry for the ambiguity.

But you're right, the real problem is not the lurkers...it's those who don't know how to keep their attitude problem bottled up (not saying any names).

A general note: Rude comments aren't appreciated, and responding with rudeness will only get you in trouble as well.

I know no one was pointing fingers, but we don't want to come off as a suspicious bunch, because we aren't. And we aren't in the business of threatening those who cross into our forum.

Nturtle 12-19-2002 04:51 PM

Okay everybody chill!!!! :o
We just got out of that mess of arguments so Tokka and Rez don't start it up again please.
Anyways, lukers can lurk as much as they want, it is just the problem with people with really short fuses

Tokka-B 12-19-2002 05:45 PM

I'd just like to point out in general that I only got the warning because I accidentally told a mod in an open forum in RPG about the problem someone and I were having, and because of that....Krang is taking off the warning sometime soon...

I don't think you can get a warning by disagreeing with someone on this site...otherwise none of us would be here and/or I would quit.... :roll:

[Edit: Please don't mention any names in regards to your warning. --Krang]

FreshRazz 12-19-2002 06:29 PM

I like this fourm it's hella chill, but what confuses me the most is why allot of people have signed up and not posted?

Karpo_007 12-20-2002 01:18 AM

Around 150 members have 1 or less posts.

FreshRazz 12-20-2002 01:25 AM

maybe we should check their ISP's :-?

Nickokapo 12-20-2002 01:26 AM

heh...lurkers are nothing new...lol you should see tmnt files boards, only about 5 peeps post :P
I don't mind lurkers/zero-posters, as long as they don't have any 'offensive' username :roll:

Peanut 12-20-2002 01:35 AM

I have nothing relevent to say. :sleep:

Nickokapo 12-20-2002 01:39 AM

Me neither, so i'll just say...
cheese.
Hey nice sig :D

Karpo_007 12-20-2002 01:40 AM

Yeah the zero posters are not a problem, but it make it really hard to tell how many members we really have. I think around 30.

Nickokapo 12-20-2002 01:42 AM

Yeah...it's so annoying...dumb 0-posters :x i wish i could delete em from the memberlist, but i cant, so i'll just flip out :D

Peanut 12-20-2002 01:45 AM

Me too! *flips out* That was fun.

Nickokapo 12-20-2002 01:48 AM

Yes it was!
Of course, since you are a ninja, your flipability is a natural one, i have to practice :P *goes lurker-hunting*

Peanut 12-20-2002 01:51 AM

It can be dangerous even for me though! I think I poked myself in the eye...aw yeah it's watering...dang head bands and there things on the end that fly all over the place and then poke you in the eye because they're too long! :evil:
