Title: Lurkers show yourself!
Post by: amigadave on January 12, 2012, 07:39:32 AM
Stealing an idea from another site, I was wondering how many members here lurk in the background and rarely post messages, but read these forums often.

So, if you consider yourself a lurker (no set definition, so it is up to your own opinion if you are a lurker or not), please write a short one line reply to this message so we can get an idea of how many people visit this forum site regularly to read the forums.

Thanks,:)

I've lurked for over 10 years (only recently created an account).  During the day I probably visit the a couple of times per hour (I work from home so the boss can't complain).

I've always checked in every day, but since the FPGA Relay thread has gotten regularly updated in the last few months I pop on several times a day.

Use: Amiga Forever and A1200 with Blizzard 1230 IV with SCSI x8 CD ROM.

I'm guilty too, I visit once or twice a day and post occasionally if I think I can offer something useful.   Having given up most of my Amiga gear I guess I'm getting my fix from the site :-)

I generally check in a couple times per day. I don't use my Amigas much any more, even the UAE clone of my 2000, but I still want to know what's going on in the "community"

Post by: robo-ant on January 12, 2012, 02:19:07 PM
Apparently I haven't logged in since June but I read what's going on here almost every day.

I use OS4 on a Sam440ep.  I don't power up my classics much anymore.

i have lurked for years now (mainly because of the way amiga.org changed after the new design years ago), FPGA Relay made me post just recently.
My thread on AW still goes strong with 140 something posts.

I lurked for a year or two before joining and making my first post, and I guess I spit out a post about once a month on average since joining. I've visited at least once a day on average since I started visiting though. Not sure why I have this strange compulsion to visit daily since I rarely do anything with my Amigas. I think I am just trying to learn all the knowledge I missed during the decades I was away from Amiga so that when I retire and have more time I can jump back into it with some knowledge.

I used to be an active member many years ago, but gave up.  Since the announcements of natami and other compatibles, I now stop by once or twice a day to see what is happening, but I have only responded to 1 post in many, many years.

My name is Blitter and I am a lurker.

I like to see if there are any really Hot topics to get me excited and then I can't help but have a good lurk. In fact, I've been lurking for years. But only in my bedroom, when no-one else is watching.......(I'm sorry, can you repeat the question please):roflmao:

I lurk around pretty much.  Check in on things a couple times a day when time permits.
 
Really excited about the FPGA Arcade board Mike has made and look forward to getting one.
 
Most of you probably know my website www.bombjack.org/commodore (http://www.bombjack.org/commodore)
 
I also have a few Amiga's in my collection.  A1000, A500 with A530 68030/40 2MB Chip, 8MB Fast, A600, A1200 2ea with 68060/50's and a A4000D 68060/50 I recently picked up from Ebay (BIN).
 
Just bought a house, looking forward to having room to set them all up finally.

Used to be more active, then stopped participating due to becoming jaded and getting into too many fights after I started to speak my mind.

Now I visit a few times a week to read the newest threads and then retreat. Sometimes I post in HW related threads if it's something I can answer without having to do the poster's research for them.

Hi,

Lurking here since 2010, visiting almost everyday and subscribing to rss on my phone. Have A500 with 512 expansion and A600 stashed in the attic in Poland.

Interested mostly in FPGA Replay, Natami and OS4.x but following many other threads as well.

I suppose I qualify as a lurker these days, but I used to be a fairly active poster years ago.  I began using AmigaOS less and less about six or seven years ago as my day to day computing needs saw me booting into WinXP more often than Amithlon. With software development grinding to a halt for AmigaOS3.X, "NextGen" options prohibitively expensive and underpowered, and all the typical red-vs-blue/Elbox-vs-everyone/etc. camp wars splintering and destroying what remained of the community, my interest in anything Amiga-like waned to the point where I now visit here merely out of curiosity as to what's left these days.

I still own several Amigas (2 A1200s, an A3000, several A500s, a CDTV, and various "parts") but haven't fired any of them up in years.  I used them extensively throughout the 90's in music composition (mainly with MED SoundStudio controlling hardware synths via MIDI) but my modern audio processing needs require me to work in the 24 bit audio domain and with VST and VSTi plugins, and I have the PC version of MED SoundStudio for composing.

I've been tempted several times to sell off my Amiga hardware but just haven't quite gotten up the nerve or heart to do so quite yet.
