Dear Lurker,

[Krisken]

What the hell is she doing?

 

[UnregisteredDave]

What the hell is she doing?

This is Dave.

Quick note. I can't get Unregistered/Guests to be able to Like posts, which I thought would be a good thing. But since I can't, I'm opening up the floor for Unregistered/Guests to be able to reply or post. Their posts are still moderated before they are allowed...for now. If it's too much for the mods to manage then I may make them unmoderated. But if that happens we'll need to watch the spammers.

This is an experiment that may or may not work. There's a lot of people lurking and I like this better than making them have to create an account if they want to say something now and again.

So let's make them feel welcome.

What does a Halforums-style welcome entail? North_Ranger taking off his pants and Shego sharpening her knives?

 

[Dave]

Arguments about beef.

 

[Lurker]

I'm trying to sleep here. Why are you calling on me?

 

[Dave]

Nice! Like an IRC channel where your computer dings when someone says your name.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

I'm trying to sleep here. Why are you calling on me?

Sing me a song of love from you to me

 

[Officer_Charon]

See, N_R gets the irony!

WHAT ABOUT YOU, LURKER?!

 

[Dave]

One last thing before bed. I've taken off the moderation queue for unregistered. So if you see spam REPORT IT! Please. Hope this doesn't end badly....

*hey, at least I'm honest about it.

[North_Ranger]

Don't make me pick up the Banhammer, folks.

I'm already wearing the Sporran of Infractions.

 

[DarkAudit]

Nice! Like an IRC channel where your computer dings when someone says your name.

If you were actually on IRC.

The only reason anyone is in the HF channel at all right now is you have a couple of us who still have it in our default channel list and don't bother to leave.

 

[Shegokigo]

Obligitory:

 

[strawman]

They like me! They really like me!

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

 

[Emrys]

I still hate you both.

 

[strawman]

But we both LOVE you! So it's all good.

 

[strawman]

Dear forum lurkers...

 

[fade]

Nice! Like an IRC channel where your computer dings when someone says your name.

Or Voldemort.

 

[strawman]

I stiiiiiiiill seeeeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuuuuu....

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

Stienman, if you love lurkers so much, why don't you marry them?

 

[Jay]

Should close the forums down from non registered view for 24 hours.... randomly... once a week.

People will register.

 

[Just Me]

Semi-Lurker?
Always logged in, barely posting?

 

[Jax]

You guys post more than I can read, let alone join in the posting

 

[ElJuski]

according to my cyclical calendar, now that we've passed through the "meta-commentary thread" phase, we've moved swiftly into "come out lurkers" phase. In the upcoming weeks I predict a rash of locked bitchy threads.

 

[Tress]

In the upcoming weeks I predict a rash of locked bitchy threads.

My favorite!

 

[Dave]

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

Oh yeah, Dave?

 

[General Specific]

In the upcoming weeks I predict a rash of locked bitchy threads.

 

[Dave]

My Google-fu has prevented me from posting a witty retort. That and the inability to search for that word here at work...

 

[General Specific]

That work for ya, Dave?
