Lurkers it's time to post

I noticed today for the first time that Obesityhelp has started putting the number of times the post has been viewed. I also noticed the discrepency in how many times the post has been answered compared to how many times it's been viewed. Does this mean that we have a lot of lurkers that aren't answering posts? I know that I often check back to see what other people have posted so I know that's responsible for several of the #of views but I also think that people are reading and not giving us feedback. So for all your Lurkers out there - say "HI" once in a while. Melody

Yep I noticed this yesterday and posted a "quiz" on what was new on the Over 50 forum. I forgot to post it here. gala ps...go to the main board and look at those numbers. Simply AMAZING. Specially when 10-20min. after a post was submitted with subject line of "sex" there were over 100 views. I find that just amazing. I like this feature.

What a difference in numbers. I concur! Post, post, post! It's rainy here and this has become a new hobby. Please give me something to read!

Roll Call! I browsed through the posts and these are the people I found. Quite a few people given then regular posters! I suspect these are some of the lurkers. What say we give these people a friendly email?! Gala G.

Hi, I lurk a great deal but, I also post. I only post when I think I have something to contribute. Lurking teaches me and when think I can help, I post. Great to meet you sisters. I seem to be in the minority here. Gordon P.S. NO, I am Not naked in the photo.

I'm siding with Gordon on this idea....I read and learn, but I often don't post because I just have nothing to add. I also thought he was naked....haha....thought we had a dirty little man in our midst...haha Tracey

Well Hydi, much to my dismay I didn't see my name on your list! I've posted a couple of times and have been a lurker! I hoype to post a lot more but have been busy with a vacation and lots of other life stuff! I hope to get to know you all a bit better!

I know, I know. . . sorry. I missed Gordon, too. I was looking at most of the postings while my kids were climbing on me so I missed some more people I'm sure. Thanks for calling me on it though!

Not to worry. It's not a big deal, just an observation. I appreciate all you guys do to have a great group.

So sorry for not keeping up! My homework keeps me busy but I will try to post at least once a day..... I am trying to catch up after being sick for a week and a half. So bear with me. Donna
