    The last thing hubski needs is lurkers.

I'm interested as to why you think that's the case. There's nothing wrong with people lurking and simply sharing posts, not everybody has to be a contributor on the site. If somebody wants to enjoy the submissions and conversations by lurking I see nothing wrong with that.

swedishbadgergirl and humanodon -check out this lurker roll call post from a while back. Interesting stuff.

I for one love the lurkers. I create a lot of original content on Hubski and I'm glad to know that there are people, phantom beings, out there in the aether hopefully enjoying it. My favorite is when I see a post with some shares and click to see who has shared it and there's a user that is 200+ days old that shared it but has never commented. It takes all types.

Yes, I remember that thread. Good one to highlight for new and longtime users alike.

I see nothing wrong with lurking either and lurkers are better than no users but I think it's wrong to encourage someone who is posting to lurk.
