It is rather creepy, come to think of it.

But I used to do the same thing- I used to read these forums for many, many months before I felt as though I had something to contribute, something to request, or some reason to join.

I'll bet there are a lot more "lurkers" out there.

Yes, oojason.
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

Then again, these new people may have just said they have been lurking for a year to cover up for their n00b-ness.

Alot of people don't like to talk in forums like this because they are worried they might say something that most will jump on. I mean, if they are only a casual fan and don't know the name of every character in the Cantina, but enjoy the films as much as anyone else. They might feel intimidated about posting. That's why I don't post at TfN.

They said he was rude to Dayv or something. I am not really sure the whole story. Doesn't really bother me, and it's not my concern anyway.

I've been a registered member for years now and I check this site out at least once a week. For awhile I posted all the time but I rarely do anymore. Most of the time someone already says what I was thinking.

So I guess I'm a registered lurker.....

That sounds like it should have its own FBI Watch List.

How does this sort of thing get "policed"? Does Jay read the alleged offender's posts and make a determination? Or does it depend who's reporting it? Just curious...

Also, there's well over a thousand registered forum users, but God knows how many lurkers. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

I don't think DanielB's ousting had anything to do with Dayv directly. He had been pissing off a bunch of people in the preservation section. Some people there called him "worse than Jimbo." Hard to believe, but since I'm hardly in the preservation section, I guess it's possible. I think Zion, who is a mod on this forum, had him ousted.

Jimbo was the subject of several PM complaints to Jay who started monitoring his posts. He gave him several warnings and then a time-out ban. I think that lasted about a month. Then he came back and was good for a little while before he started in on his bashing. Jay was alerted again and he watched and warned yet again. Then he IP banned him for life.

... or until he finds out the iprelease commmand.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering
