Heh, I think I would be a candidate, but you have me beat on fewer posts. I have also lurked pretty regularly since I joined, but posted little. This would be because a) usually someone else has already made the point I would have made and worded it better; and b) since I can read perhaps 50 posts during the time it would take me to compose a single one, reading seems as a much more efficient use of my time .

I have been on Hatrack for two years longer than you, and I have 1533 posts. So you are far more the lurker than I am. I think I'll have a landmark next June at eight years of hatracking.

The sign up date for several posters, including e.g. me and Tom, seems to be incorrect on that list.

Note: by increasing the listed time I've been on this forum, my posts per month value will actually DROP (assuming it's otherwise correct), thus increasing your lead. *grin*

Alas, no. But since I happen to agree with her on the abomination-before-God aspect of that particular combination . . .

Man, a landmark is way too much work. I'll just let my post slowly accumulate and then I'll cash them all in for *real* money! Oh boy! I can't wait for the payout, it'll be millions and millions and...what's that? Hatrack posts aren't worth hundreds of dollars a post?
No, it can't be true!

Every time I see one of these "Who's the Lurkiest Lurker of them All?" threads I wonder if it will be the time I post. Nobody ever offers a prize, though, and who wants to ruin perfect lurker status without even getting a prize I ask you? Well here I am stepping forward to claim the lurker crown, whether there's a prize or not. Is there a prize? Is the crown the prize? Do I get a lifetime supply of Turtle Wax? *Returns to his Lurker Box*

I may not be THE lurker, but I'm fairly up there, I think.
Is your username taken from "Number of the Beast"?
Actually it's a double meaning. The one I usually give is "I was looking for a pen name", which people groan at. The second is DEFINITELY from Number of the Beast. Sharpie has been my hero since I first read that at age something like 13.

And I can't believe Tom is only a couple posts a month higher than me, he should be like a 100 posts a month higher.

Yeah, how exactly do we figure out what our ppm are? Because I'm interested, even if I don't post half as much as *some* people on this forum Posts: 1789 | Registered: Jul 2003

Lyrhawn... you take your registered date... from that you find the number of months you've been here... then you do this thing called division: divide # of posts by # of months. Bingo! Post per month. Posts: 3295 | Registered: Jun 2004

PPM = posts per month. If you divide the number of posts you've made to date by the number of months since you joined, you'll be able to get this figure.

There's a guy from way back in the beginning ("Mike"?) with something like less than a hundred posts, IIRC.

Mikey, on his main account, has only 182 posts, which calculates out to two posts a month. I don't know if he still lurks here, though. I know he read the site as recently as December two years ago. On his alternate account, he has only about thirty posts, which comes out to fewer than .4 posts per month.
I was going through user-numbers, and it brought back the memories.

Oooooh, I get it. See, I thought there was actually a way you could check and see like how many posts you made in November or something. This is just an average.
I didn't even post for the first three or four months I was signed up, not more than a dozen or two posts.
I had something way, way more complicated in mind. [/unnecessary complexity]

Let me see what my post is after I reply to this, but I've been around since '01 with a closed mouth, and I think my first account actually got deleted.
You beat me on post count. Fur shure.

Looks like Aaron wins. Because he's even from the "Long Time Ago" club -- which doesn't that mean registered before Hatrack is at the domain it is now?

120ppm?! Wow. Now what's the equation to figure out how much work I would have gotten done in the past year had I not been making those posts?

Most of my posts have come in the last few months, having been a little ashamed at my grand lurker status. I started on the old AOL Hatrack and managed to lurk on the new site for a few years before I felt compelled to register in order to say something. Some drivel about memes if memory serves...

FG, The A Long Time Ago! dates mean the user was migrated over to the current message board software from the old, non-compatible one. The Big Mouth Lion -> UBB migration.
