Ever thought about....
 

PM'ing a lurker to say...."saw you peekin', hope you liked what you saw:D "


I've been tempted a few times, but haven't found the courage yet..LOL!

Haven't really thought about it, I don't think. I have gotten PM's from lurkers before, though. Usually lurkers who frequent the picture threads.

LOL I was gonna start a PM a Lurker thread once encouraging people to do it but a certain AQUAtic member, who shall remain nameless, :p, talked me out of it. I have done it when i saw someone pouring through all my pic threads, asking them if they were insane yet.

I have thought about it...but I wouldn't want to be responsible for scaring anyone away! Not that it would happen...just that if it did I would hate knowing it was my fault. They lurk for a reason...though I can't figure it out...and so I say Que Sera <sp?>!

That is exactly why I haven't done it!!!!! But it is still tempting!

Sharni~ thanks for the words of encouragement, but like Lixy said I would hate to scare them off. Maybe one day when I catch someone going through all my threads, like Lil did I will.

Gilly~ I have had the same thing, funny that they will respond in a PM, but not want to post! I guess they really want to remain anonymous! Oh well as Lixy said "Que sera, sera"

btw, Lilith~ why did the certain AQUAtic member not think it was a good idea? Or maybe I should just use my "psycho" abilities and figure it out...lol

Oh cause..like someone said...peep are lurkers for a reason.

I guess I could be considered a lurker, since I don't post too often. I had someone send me a message, saying they saw me lurking and wanted to welcome me. Of course it was a couple weeks before I even noticed I had a message. Messages were not what I was looking for. She was very sweet about it. In fact, I think it might have been her message that moved me to post.

I must say now I am here for the conversations you all have...well and the pictures too. I love this place!

I used to PM new lurkers welcoming them to Pixies but I it gave up after a time.

I agree!!!! I think often someone just needs encouragement to feel welcome.

<-----would not know a "lurker" if one sat on her face.

how can you tell they are a lurker if they don't post? if they make themselves visible, how are they lurking? i'm serious here, HOW can you tell? :confused:

<-----runs from the room before anyone can tell her she's MORE of a blond than Gilly. :D

I'm guessing it's noticing names in the "Who's Online" feature?

How do you know when someone is going through your threads?
