How many posts before the “Lurker” goes away under my username? It sounds so negative - I just want to be a “might stick around” guy.

No problem. Youve got 25 posts, or so, double it and you won't be a "lurker". There's a post on the tiers, somewhere. That said, enjoy the lurker phase bruh. No shame in being a lurker, it's an f'n website.
Thanks for the encouragement. I shall lurk with gusto!
Lurker's a whole lot better than stalker, creep, perv.. "Always Look at the Bright Side of Life".
Lurker is for newbies but doesn't tag anyone as a problem. There just new is all.
Man, I remember the days.... time goes by, suddenly you're a "Lifer" and you don't know how that happened.
Calling @Ahi Ka, soothe this poor soul please.

Keep at it.. one day, maybe, you'll be able to select your own.
Negative? Well, we were going to call them "Lil' Bitches" till folks got all... bitchy about it. Then we toyed with the idea of calling them "Neophytes" but too many people had no idea what that was. Lurker is what we call those who watch the threads before joining... so by calling newbies lurkers, we give them a certain number of posts to prove that they are no longer lurking. This was way less offensive.
Either way, welcome.

You’ll wish you were just a lurker once you’re subjected to the “might stick around” initiation ritual.
At least you get to keep the paddle
No. No you don’t.
Oops. Guess I'm gonna get the paddle again.
Embrace the title - someday you might be a “Lifer” which is in many ways a more dubious distinction
