XeeMaye, when you are just lurking/reading, yes. We all are if we aren't posting, or I should say also have no intent to post.
Does "lurker" sound negative in any way? Maybe, to some people but it isn't.
It is true, I think....that most folks at most forums refer to lurkers as the folks that never post. I don't hear them referring to them as this being bad. I've only used one forum that I can think of that had more names posting than I could remember and they were different each time. Most forums have many less posters than they have registered members.
