I ventured over to /board
for the first time in ages last week, and I was villified, chastised and mocked for being a 'lurker'.

I'm not a lurker, I'm a QOTW-er and an Off Topic-er. Please can we have a counter for the number of posts on Off Topic please? It has been around for more than a year now.

I'm sure I've posted tens of thousands of times.

I just didn't like the feeling of being treated like a leper
when in actual fact I'd been here longer, and probably posted more than half the people who were calling me a lurker.

Nobjockeys.

You're all SO
MEAN.

It was fine really, I'd prefer that kind of welcome to the Uber-fluffiness we get on Off Topic. I'd just rather that my status as a regular poster be noted than hidden, and not to be condescended to by big fat meanie means.
