I think you're a bit confused on the definition of lurker there. I mean people like myself who
would post to these threads but don't feel like it because of all the raw discussions going on. A lurker is someone who signs up but never posts, unless they happen to need help with something ("...hi, long term lurker here, great site, need some help...")
A member who's been here a year and a half and has 1500+ posts (that's including my time before the great hack of 2005) cannot possibly be considered a lurker. I'm active in most other areas of the forum, it's just the fansubs forum (and to a lesser extent the series forums) that I tend to avoid now. I don't particularly
want to avoid them, but it's incredibly annoying posting what to me is a sudden revelation, only to find that it's been discussed two weeks prior in spoilers and is considered 'old news'.
It's frustrating, but it's better than having a series ruined by that one unmarked spoiler.
