Lurkers Beware

[Honch0]

We have a little over 1400 members and around 100 active members. A measly 7% or so of Dalton Forum registered members actually participate on the Dalton Forum.

So, this is to the 93% that like to watch. We need you to say something about yourself, your knives, your likes/dislikes, suggestions to improve the Forum,the weather, post something to contribute. You joined for a reason, tell us why.

There are several core members here whom, without which, there would be nothing here to "lurk" for. So man-up and and make the Dalton Forum represent its true MEMBERSHIP...Al

[carltond]

Very well said! I totally agree with you! I see tons of guests on here all the time myself. Don't know if they are just too lazy to sign in as I am at times, but I do agree with this! Man up and show yourself!! ~dragonwar

[Snapper]

Al,
I agree, very well said.

Let's keep this post at the top by the active and future active members posting in this thread once a day.MITUSA
It's simple...MITUSA

[pete1958]

We are just a group of folks who enjoy our Dalton knives and talking about them in a "Drama Free" enviroment! So come on and introduce yourself and join us!

OK. Fine. Here goes.

Somewhere during the course of the past 10 years when I was a more active participant, I was told to tow the party line or get off the bus. Thanks goodness that does not seem to be the case here, but, after all, once bitten, twice shy.

At least they decided what was wrong with me. Here goes:
Auto-immune thyroid disease from polybromated biphenols in electronic partz
Occupational asthma that turned into permanent asthma from soldering for 20 years (no, i'm not giving up that ocassional cigar cause they help me to breath, hair of dog, etc)
Lead poisoning from soldering with lead solder for 20 years
Central nervous system damage from above and other associated chemical exposures
Blood pressure spikes from stuff I do not care to ID at this time
Respiratory damage and associated issues from above and related occupational bs
Dermatology bs from electronics work and photographic chem exposures, (including cyanide that was in the farmers reducer) etc.
That's all I care to say about health at this time

But I never ripped anyone off. 100% positive feedback, thank you.

So I do continue to visit, to keep up with what's going on. I do continue to buy sell trade knives on a limited basis, but nothing like 6-8 years ago.

And hell no. I'm not as vocal. Do you really want me to be??? laugh3

[Honch0]

Well, a couple of things:

You have posted before, so you are not a "lurker".

I am glad you are still able to smoke an occasional cigar, one of life's true pleasures.

And, YES, your posts are welcome. Stay well...Al

23 users on right now and im the only signed-in member? Cmon!!

I suppose we could make less areas available to non members like remove the reference library or the for sale section. If your not logged in now the picture gallery is hidden, speaking of which, with Mr Moficky out of commission we as members need to start posting more pics. I think Mo provided about 90% of them. I know somebody has to have some newer hand made models that everyone would like to see pics of. Don't be stingy with your knives, share a little, then lock them back up in the vault ~dragonwarILK

[eddiebob]

Jet 'em if they don't want to play.
I have several of the customs and will post pictures as soon as we get the damn satellite dish serviced. Ed B

What are peoples thoughts on restricting non-member access?
I cant think of a good reason why a non-member should be able to view introductions...thoughts?

[Shovelhead]

Well looks like me and my 26 Lurking Homies are here ..

[ilovekittens]

2 and 31 lurkers. hopefully I didn't make it to hard for new members to sign up. At one time we had 20 new spammers signing up a day. So to combat that I added two questions one has to answer to become a member.

Can everyone answer these two questions

1 What does Rob Dalton make?
2. Are you a spammer? Please spell your answer backwards.

Since I added the second question no new spammers, but no new members either.

I don't think the questions are all that difficult, but maybe I'm really smart.~happy st p day ILK

[corjzg]

I don't think the questions are all that difficult, but maybe I'm really smart.

Yeah it aint rocket surgery...

[Honch0]

Well, if they can't spell, even a little bit, they can remain LURKERS forever and be damned to a Dalton-less existence. So be it...Al

[ilovekittens]

Okay! if your not registered most of the site is unavailable. We will see how it goes with the lurkers. I would like to leave the for sale section open for more potential buyers even if they are lurkers. So now if you want to know more about Daltons register for FREE and be an active member, not a sponge. ~axeME ILK

[sweetpea]

I try to make a post here every few days,but I am not a big time Dalton owner,I love 'em but medical costs have forced me to get rid of almost all of my treasures,to me any way.
I am now down to one Baby Seal and am corrosponding with DCC for a couple of screws,set and pivot.
He has been very helpful and I hope to get back in the game at least a little bit in the near future.
I guess I just don't have a lot of input that would be all that interesting.
I love Daltons!(*^&)

[Snapper]

63 Lurkers and me. A record of some kind for this many Lurkers today.~blah Blah

[ilovekittens]

I'm guessing most lurkers are spambots, not sure why anyone would lurk without joining the forum. Really isn't to much to see, unless you log in. 9<>?"*& ILK

It's been like this for a couple of weeks. 60 and plus lurkers at anytime of the day. 66 at this moment.

[Honch0]

40 Lurkers and 4 members...Time for a reboot...Al

[Eladerman]

Al,
l I'm behind you 100% Do what needs to be done. People need to either shit or get off the pot...so to speak. Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm being watched. And believe you me, if you ( anybody out there) want to come and get some... I don't just have one little friend waiting for you if you want to try. But alas.... I digress....
Don't hide behind the bleak nothingness of anonymity... be a real man...or girl... come out of the woodwork and you might be surprised how nice folks here can be.

[Snapper]

I thought it was time to bring this thread up again.

[Snapper]

Thought I'd just mention at this time it's me and 255 lurkers on this forum.
What the hell is going on today? I've saw it like this since about 10:30 AM.

[Pitergordi]

Ill bite... What gives? use it or you may loose it if you know what I mean. Peter

[Snapper]

Now 849 users, 2 members. WTF?confused0

[theshrike]

...maybe not interested in being members, which is fine I guess.
Maybe seeing ILK ban members gives them pause?confused0
I'm not here as often as I once was.

[Adrock2864]

I just logged in and there are 3 members and 110 guests.

Come on lurkers and join up.

[Pitergordi]

[Snapper]

Use this thread to post about the "Lurkers".

Probably the most viewed thread on this forum.

[ilovekittens]

Unfortunately, mostly crawler bots.

[Eladerman]

" Unfortunately mostly crawler bots" ....What are those KirK?
regards
CDR

[ilovekittens]

spider is known as the one which collects information from the webpages present all over the world in the form of cache or saving copies of webpages in the search engine servers.
crawler is a process or program which will systematically browses all the websites present all over the world in order to index those datas in search engines.

robots is also a type of file or program which can be used to instruct the robots about how to crawl and index the pages present in their website.

Bots try to gain access to the forum to post links to spam

so basically the 100 lurkers are programs collecting data or trying to gain entry into the forum, not actual people

[Eladerman]

That's insanity that the lurkers are all actually Freaking Bot Programs...It's like I'm living in the freaking Matrix. Since they aren't people...i can say this..." SCREW all Of YOU LURKERS! Ha!... Their probably from from freaking Russia anyway! Bastages!
