What's with the guests?

I was scrolling around, and I noticed THIS:

Methinks FFR has too many lurkers. We need a plan of ACTION to turn these outsiders into members!

Or alternatively, we could just lure them in, kill them and eat them.

I think a lot of people lurk before they take the plunge.

Many people find it easier to lurk before plunging into a forum community, and it's often recommended simply because it kinda allows such people to kinda know what goes on in a particular forum community before starting to post in it. Also, some people are just lazy and don't log in, or are just skimming the forums for anything new in particular. Other than that, people will lurk if they wish to, and sometimes just do it out of preference.

You're wrong.

Definitely. A lot of people aren't into the social aspect of it. Communication is a wonderful thing. If only more people realized that.

Damn straight.

I still think people lurk out of preference, though. Just my personal opinion, though.

**star reaper** · 03-1-2011, 12:11 PM

I find that most people just don't find the site appealing enough to get on or participate.

Izzy · 03-1-2011, 06:07 PM

I remember back when ffr was bigger there would be a 1000 or more guests and I really questioned if there was actually 1000 people not logged in but on ffr.

**reuben_tate** · 03-2-2011, 09:06 PM

Nah, I bet there is a room with 224 intermediate school kids all in the same room, lurking in the FFR forum, giggling to themselves about how the guest count is so high. On a serious note, they are probably just either people that haven't logged yet or people trying to read the forum just for informational purposes.

**HoneyMelonCalibrator** · 03-2-2011, 09:09 PM

I'm willing to bet that a majority of those guests are just members who probably ended up getting timed out of FFR and haven't logged back in yet. There's no way that 224 people lurk FFR.
