Old lurker, new member

Quote by DirtyMindedMan
I've been looking around here for a bit and decided to join up, mainly to engage in a little fun in the Forums but also as a place to put up some stories I've been working off-an-on with for a while.

I may be a bit brusk at times but if you get to know me you'll find out why - nothing to do with any of you (yet)

Toss me a message, play with me in the forums or just ignore me, I'm not worried.

I'm sure what he means is he's been browsing the site for quite some time and has now decided to create an account here.

Anyhoo, welcome to the site DirtyMindedMan. I myself lurked off and on for over a year before creating my account.

I look forward to your posts and other contributions to the site. Your dirty mind is more than welcome here.

Not a challenge, Sandra, just a statement of fact. I'm a bit jaded because of various things that have happened in my life, most notably in the last year, and pretty much have stopped caring what people think of me.

How dirty is your mind?????????? lol

Let's just say that I've been around the block enough times to wear a trench in the concrete.

Had a copy of that years ago - burned it

Thanks anyway.

Gosh, that was a long lurk, lol.
I was less than a week, if I'd have known about the site I'd have joined years ago.
What I meant was I classed myself as a guest rather than lurker. Then again it took me a while to figure out that lurkers were ex members, I can be a bit slow sometimes but not that often, lmao.

Different definition of Lurker then. To me, a Lurker is someone who just kind of watches from the outside fringes, never joining in.

Comes from my days on the old UseNet (alt.soc...., alt.rec...., etc)

If they got a different definition of Lurker here, I didn't know about it.

I was a lurker for quite a while before I joined as well. My definition of the word was the same as yours, as I have only ever had this one identity.


Welcome to Lush, I hope you find what you are looking for here.

Thanks for the welcome, ladies.

Naughty - mainly what I'm looking for is distraction - last couple years haven't been kind to me in various ways,

Evie - some of us take longer to make up our minds - comes with age I think.

When you delete your account your avatar becomes the red anonymous male/female and the rank becomes lurker in all the forum posts you've made.

In Internet culture, a lurker is typically a member of an online community who observes, but does not actively participate. The exact definition depends on context. Lurkers make up a large proportion of all users in online communities. Lurking allows users to learn the conventions of an online community before they actively participate.
