What fora do you lurk on, then?

I'm a long time lurker on Flyertalk, which I find useful for air/travel info, but is at times deeply worrying. So many folks seemingly obsessed with flying!

On here mainly - CTC & Bikeradar occasionally; VW T5 forum & a couple of local bike club forums........ And of course the Bike Bargains Website...... Which I checkout daily before all of you nab the bargains!

I think I technically lurk on Reddit trying to figure out what it is and how it works.

Used to post a lot, I mean a lot, on snowHeads. Lurk occasionally now. Even saw CFH over there a year or so back.

It became boring with the same questions coming round again and the chat side of things really all but disappeared

I do lurk properly on PPRUNE. Never posted, never will.

Oh yeah, Snowheads! I read and occasionally post, so hadn't thought of it as lurking! Suppose it's a form of lurking.

When I was a Volvo owner, I used to use Brickboard, then turned to a T4 forum when I changed vehicles.

I still check in from time to time on a forum that relates to my working field, but it is so heavily moderated that it is fairly obviously dying a death. Besides, this place has trained me to expect answers to my questions within minutes. When that doesn't happen elsewhere, I assume the forum sucks.

So it's just here for me, now.

I've been a lurker here for years. Feeling a bit out of touch by virtue of riding xc orientated machines, lacking a log burner,Landie,Skoda, high end Hi fi equipment,or listening to bands that no one has ever heard of active participation is a struggle but I've certainly learnt a lot along the way. 😀

You mean you don't have a media room in your house?

I lurk on AIBU threads on Mumsnet - I like a forum where people are opinionated and there is no swear filter to really get the full effect!

Have you read the 'Classics' on Mumsnet?
There are some very amusing people on there.

UKC, few weather websites few climbing blogs. Winter routes don't last long most of the time. Frustrating pointless past time most of the time. Retrospective 'FUN' when it works out.

I don't lurk anywhere - This place is my only regular forum and I'm on it way less than some of you lot, who also lurk elsewhere ?? 😯

@scaredypants: your 666 pages worth of contributions probably absolves of the need to lurk elsewhere.

Whoa, 666 pages?
The little devil, I thought I posted a lot.

Harry - yes, I think so.
Usually miss him, but I think I've got this one.
