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,  , 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"

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!

RE Lurkers lurking for a reason.
I disagree with the not Pmming lurkers
If you PM (politely) them and get no response then yep they are probably not interested in chatting (or dont know how the PM feature works)
They maybe just shy of posting openly and may appreciate someone dropping them a welcome note....which may eventually lead to them becomming a poster
True lurkers would not have the feature on...thats my take on the whole thing
If people dont want PM's then they shouldn't have the bloody feature operational...simple as that

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

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

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