OT: OK Lurkers....Out Yourselves

Lurkers are all cool- glad to see some of you emerge. Question- Lurkers have very low post counts but I have noticed a high "like" count vs their post numbers. What do you call posters with extremely high post counts with very low "like" count? In some cases we say trolls but in others, you know they are really true fans but just don't get likes. What should be an appropriate term for these guys?

Needs a life or Needs a Girl Friend/Wife

How'd I do? :cool2:
 
Glad to see so many people responding, and I'd like to invite them to participate when they can. One of the great things about this board is the interactions between board members, whether it's on the forum or meeting up to say hello at the games or tailgates.
 
If you post on a message board that is not your home board, you will have a separate post count. For example, my post count is 1 on the Pitt board, even though my join date would be the same as it is here, 2002 or something.

Lurking here for many years. Three degrees from RU and season tickets in football for many years. Was a student in 1976 when RU went to the final four. Sat through "home" games at giants stadium in the eighties and almost every home game at Rutgers stadium since its opened. The forum is great fun to follow.

Hola from Chicago,

Started reading this board back in 06' when my then gf was a freshman at RU and I went there the following year (no correlation). I think I had a few posts under another name but forgot it, now have this one. Now back to lurking from a distance. Use my super bright red Rutgers mug at work.
 
Long suffering fan and RU grad..Season football ticketholder forever. Ok I'm out!
Most of you guys and funnier than many long timers. Someone once mentioned something about "soul of wit" but I was too busy babbling to remember.
 
Wheezer...Funny stuff, I actually met you and your family at the RU/NCState bowl game in Birmingham Alabama years ago...hope all is well

I have been a member on here for years, but never really posted much, even though I visited the site every day and spent a lot of time on it. And then the Flood era happened and things became so bad that I felt I had to get involved and speak up, especially when there were so many still drinking the kool-aid late in the game. It is definitely more enjoyable to be actively involved though I would say.
 
Lurking for awhile now.
Living in the Mid Ohio Valley.
RU but (would have been class of '83) transferred out to go fly airplanes for a living.

Still enjoy reading the give and take ya'll do.

I'll return to under my rock now.
Wait don't leave yet want to here how you left to fly planes. I need to hear this story. Was it Air Force, Navy or did you just one day decide," I'm leaving college mom and dad I want to fly planes". Now that conversation couldn't have gone over well. You obviously live down south with the, "ya'll do" but where?
 
Tuna ("Charlie"....a new nickname?)

Thanks for taking the leap of faith.

Hope you'll continue to pipe up as the season nears / Ash wipes the slate clean.

thx Mo. back when i joined the board i used to go tuna fishing semi-often. i live and die with the team's travails like the rest of us here. split season tix this year with a friend from town and am looking forward to the fresh start.
 
Well you've got a "Flood" of likes for so few posts.

MO

MO - my secret to getting liked is posting on the current events board. No matter what insane opinion you have, half the posters there will either like you or hate you.
 
Long time lurker from the previous millennium...grew up in Piscataway, two older sisters RU grads from the early 80's...first memory of RU was attending a basketball game in the barn in the late 70's...attended many football games and basketball games then at the RAC and was just fascinated that sometimes games in my backyard were actually on TV...listened to most if not all football and basketball games on WCTC...thought Bruce Johnson was 'the man'...I was also a Courier News paperboy and got whatever RU content was available from them and the Sunday Ledger, which for those that were from that era can attest was not much...graduated NJIT in 1990 (hence my creative handle) and moved out of state...remember the Exit109 site in the late 90's and was motivated to visit daily by the fact that at that time that community was the only place to find RU specific content...there was a poster that would post a summary of the daily news links, which was a big reason for getting hooked into checking this board daily...I not only appreciate the sports related threads, but all of the OT content as well...have visited restaurants, taken vacations, looked into various home improvements just from lurking here...not personally vested to the point of arguing which is why I tend not to post, but this board is one of the first things I check each day for news and entertainment...
 
I almost went to NJIT...then called NCE. Though I'd be a Chemical Engineer. I received early acceptance...but when I looked around the school (back in the mid 60's) it seemed like there weren't any women!

This was frightening, because in one class that I was visiting, there were supposedly about 4-5 women behind the googles / bunson burners.

MO
PS Just re-read this post. You could say I didn't attend NJIT because there was ....
no CHEMISTRY! :(

Long time lurker, 1987 RU grad. Been a season ticket holder since 1988, been in section 128 since the new stadium opened. I have missed exactly 1 home game in all these years.

This board provides hours of entertainment and is my go to spot for any RU related info!

OK, crawling back into my hole in 3...2...1...

RU 1979 here. Been following the board since the mid-1990s and read it just about every day.


You're talking about the old Mike / the Big Dog Board. There are some (Wheezer, RU#'s, me....many others) who frequented that site.

What was your handle...or were you Lurking there too?![smoke]
