Lurker roll call, no response required.

:lurk
To the people who don't have much to say can say what's up here and are not obligated to respond. Welcome lurkers.:cool

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I appreciate our lurkers. What's more, you guys may not hear from them here but I do meet them in the real world. There are a lot of them. Very nice people who would be excellent contributors and members.

Anyhow, thanks for visiting the site on a regular basis.

I'd love to see some of you guys join.

I'm with John, though. Welcome, lurkers. Please feel free to join in on the fun here.

[zhpnsnv]

If they join in, then they're not lurkers anymore. Lurk on! I can fall into lurkdom at any moment, so I speak the language. I always lurk a bit before I contribute at any pace to a forum. It's a trust thing. It's because one time my mom told me the pool was shallow and it wasn't.

I suppose that could be better than her telling you the pool was deep and it wasn't...

epic thread.

[Johnmadd]

Hmmmmm.... no lurkers have reported.

[danewilson77]

I think something made them uncomfortable...perhaps?

I hope this thread gets enough lurks to surpass the reunion thread.

[danewilson77]

Never!

[zhpnsnv]

Just so everyone knows: I'm lurking at the reunion. I'll be chilling, observing. Pay me no mind. I might climb a tree for best perspective.

I'm sure I will be taking turns with my wife chasing my daughter all over Dane's front yard. That may constitute lurking as my attention will be focused elsewhere... :biggrin

[Oli77]

No lurkage here.

[ZHP-FTW]

Sometimes I like the lurkers, it let's me know someone really cares! :blushing

[Marcus-SanDiego]

As a general proposition, we typically have more guests on the site than members. I'd like to get our active members up. We've got some really knowledgeable people in the mafia.

[zhpnsnv]

I lurk at basically every other site except this one.

Favorite lurking of all time has to be 2007ish on the MINI forums as the aftermarket became one big death match of manipulation, fanboys, screaming, name-calling, and an all around Orwellian nightmare.

Marc, glad to hear that we could bring you out of the weeds. Glad you're with us.

I'm on here nearly every day, but don't post much, does that qualify me as a lurker?

Yes, yes it does. We love you!

[johnrando]

Yup! But now you're posting so we know you have invaluable input to add to the forum and we'll miss it if you don't! :-) I saw you had a VERT, you have pics? Lurkers ARE welcomed here though.

[postitpad]

John, these were just taken with my cell, so the quality isn't so great but you can see my vert here:

[johnrando]

Awesome. Car looks great. Thanks for posting. I see you have the 135s and a winter setup.

[postitpad]

Thanks! This is my first car I have had a winter setup for, and now I don't know how I ever lived without one. I was astonished at what a capable car the ZHP is in the snow with blizzaks on it. I was frequently the only one in my neighborhood to make it to the top of the hill I live on.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Yep. You're a lurker. But I certainly appreciate you guys. I know you're using the site as a resource.

Glad you posted.

Thanks Marcus, it's good to be here (even if I'm quiet about it). Congrats by the way.

Thanks for lurking, and responding.

I saw a hyundai lurking at the reunion.:shifty

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I saw a 5 series guy pull over and take pictures.

[static667]

Here are two fun ones. The first one was the lady in the black e46 sedan pulling up and asking what was going on. Second, and this one made me :rofl, as everybody was moving to do the two rows pic, I over heard a girl in a passing car say "They all have the same car!"

[Marcus-SanDiego]

"They all have the same car!"

:rofl

And we're all clones. FTW.

[danewilson77]

To the top.

Bump.:shifty

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Would love to see some of our lurkers turn into regular posters here. Still, we love ya all the same -- even if you remain in lurk mode.

Thanks for visiting the site on a regular basis.

[danewilson77]

I love the hell outta some lurkers.

I especially love those guys that don't search. No shit brah.

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I don't understand the context, DW. Clarify, please, about the search.

[danewilson77]

I don't understand the context, DW. Clarify, please, about the search.

When someone comes on and asks about what oil should he use or what's the best angel eyes. I have a special place in my heart for them. What I said has nothing to do with lurkers.

I am saying I love the family search option.

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Ahh. In other words, we don't kill people who do not search. We help them find it here. Got it.

Family search, indeed.

[SC4ME]

I know I lurk more than post. Heck Marcus saw me on the street more than posting for a while there!

But for a true lurker, if they posted then they wouldnt be a lurker!

They are still a valuable part of the site, as they are the ones that must be getting real value if they keep coming back to learn/discover something new.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

OK, lurkers. I've seen quite a few of you this week.

Feel free to join the discussion. We could use your contributions here!

[danewilson77]

Or keep lurking a while longer. Whatever.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Regardless, you're welcome here -- posting or not.

Bring it:-)

BUMP!!!

come on guys, we're a private forum now... start posting please (I promise not to bite)

I lurked for months before joining.. no matter how accepting everyone here is, I didn't feel right joining without a ZHP or at least something to offer. Sometimes, such a tight nit community could be a bit intimidating I guess :dunno

I think this is a commonly shared thought for new members. It was for me at least.

Once you post you realize that everyone here is friendly and that a lot of people are willing to go out of their way to lend you some help. Why?

Family.

[toddness]

So after a few beers, I am reconsidering my status of lurker. I think lurner (sic) is more apropos.

Lurker here... I just joined the other day, but I've been perusing the board off-and-on for a couple of years. I've never been one to post much on boards. After spending a lot of time on NASIOC and VWVortex I kinda felt like there was too much noise/garbage on the interwebs and never wanted to add to it.

[derbo]

Well Jeff, welcome retroactively and keep on lurking. My friend was a lurker on offtopic.com for 8 years before his first post. LOL

[SoDelBMW]

Hahha Lurker mode: (ON) :rofl:rofl

I was on lurker mode until February 2013 and have been posting since then. Proud to be a Mafioso !

How does one qualify for to be a lurker???? I haven't posted in a really long time.....Don't own e46 much less a ZHP.......I do own BMW's though....

[johnrando]

Sup Gary! You are certified non-luker crusing in a lurker mode.

[Edo]

[I] think I may qualify as a lurker as I am kind of shopping for a ZHP. 20 year BMWCCA member. Anyway, here is my question: Do the cars that have around 100,000 or so start to exhibit some of the problems one does not normally think of, such as seats getting worn (and not just upholstery) door hinges and things like that. I currently have an Audi A6 with about 155,000 that is still fairly tight. I found an 04 coupe with 105,000 for $10,500, 6 speed. I passed on a really nice auto last fall for $18,000 with about 35,000. So, in my mind, do I search and find the lower mileage car and spend more? OR, at 100,000, I know it will need suspension, but then that is all new parts. On the afore mentioned Audi, I waited until it shimmied before doing the work. Should have done sooner, as it made a world of difference. Sorry for the long ramble

You should be able to find a find example, around 100k miles, with all necessary maintenance completed.

Good seeing you around.

Been a lurker recently. Currently in Ohio, Seattle on Thursday and Vancouver on Friday. I finally remember what rain is after being soaked in an Ohio downpour.

It's been raining a fair amount here.
