ok i just got my account to say "Lurker" i guess by posting reply's to threads...well why does it say lurker? i just looked that up and it means "to read or observe an ongoing discussion without participating in it, as in an Internet newsgroup" well that doesnt make sense...i got to lurker by posting...and im being involved by posting...so i dont understand that...can someone please explain this to me...cuz it's makin me feel like a stalker or something hahahaha and how can i change that to something else?

Ya gotta keep posting in order for it to change. To me it's just something that shows how often or how dedicated you are to the site.
Like me. You can see, I've been here foreverrrrr. lol.
