Immolator Posted September 22, 2001 Share Posted September 22, 2001 I'm with you, Lord General MB. It must have been that 512th post with the word "gamey" in it that threw me into Lurker Mode. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty's Double Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 If a lurker posts in the forest and there's noone there to read it...er...I don't think I've got the hang of this. In my opinion Commonwealth lurking is under-modelled in...no that's not right. Sorry, the cat's just drooled on the keybord, need to get some kleenex.

LGMB Posted September 23, 2001 Author Share Posted September 23, 2001 Soldiers, Who's member # 1? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen. Sosaboski Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 LGMB, I think I have joined the ranks of the lurkers as well. I don't know, I think there are too many people here for me to enjoy myself. That and the constant "Gamey" and "Uber (Insert nation here) soldiers not modeled" threads got me a lurking. Perhaps we should organize ourselves into a unit. I nominate #4 for overall commander, and I gladly volunteer myself for brigade/regimental command.

KMHPaladin Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by kking199: LOL.. is there something wrong with lurking?!?!. Frankly there are a few members here who would benefit from lurking instead of posting their worthless drivel or obviously inflammtory comments. Nonetheless this is by far the best Game Forum I have EVER participated in... period. I attributed this to two main facts. More mature audience, ie. we are all 28+ years old on average and the vigilant moderation by the staff at BTS. I cannot tell you how much I have learned here from simply lurking! Now all I need to be happy is to convince BTS that their website needs some serious overhaul work, visually in particular. I am 100% convinced they have lost sales due to the rather amatuerish look of the site. No need for flash or fancy stuff, just change the sandback background and get rid of the cheesy pirate flag!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Can't agree about this being the "best" forum, I've been an (active) member of the Combatsim/SimHQ EAW community for probably 3 years and they take my vote. However, this does seem to be a good forum for the reason you mentioned, the overall maturity (although I am only 19 now and was 18 when I started coming here, sorry to spoil your demographics ) is definitely a plus. And I agree totally, this website could use a real overhaul. The yellow background is disgusting and they really need to either hire a professional or take some serious time to rework it. "Packaging" and "marketing" might be scoffed at by all you uber-grogs but when it comes down to it, it is important and the professionalism of the "packaging" reflects on the product itself.

LGMB Posted September 24, 2001 Author Share Posted September 24, 2001 Soldiers, #4 would make quite the leader. but he might be a bit toooo quite if you get my drift. Im all for it though. Perhaps we need a Lord General? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kunstler Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Gotta tip my hat to AD: he is truly King of the Lurkers. I slipped out of junior member status a few months ago. Now I am just one of the masses. And in only 5 more posts . . . Hang in there, AD! I'll understand if you don't respond. kunstler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagdcarcajou Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 Heh, I too slipped into lurker status some time ago. I still drop by the find new mod news and catch new info on CM2, but I long ago realized I couldn't keep up with the board, my (long since defunct) site, and PBEMs. I have too many other commitments. So now I play the AI and friends at LAN parties when I can, and quietly wait for CM2 (and wish for a speedy update to our beloved western front game!). Back to quiet mode...
