What type of UD Forum Member are You? Revisited!!!

[Scarred4life]

I was somewhere in the middle of 'Acquaintance Poster 2.0' and 'Casual Poster'. But lately I've drifted more towards the Lurker categories.

I believe... based on those quite bizarre descriptions... I'm a 5. I don't visit the forum every single day on average. But I certainly come by every week. Because of the Hurt or Heal's, I've been posting every single day. But on most days, I've been neglecting the forums and not reading or posting in a thread every day.

I had to pick 5 - I believe - because everything below a 5 included not being or not-knowing-you-are a registered member. I am neither. I know I am and am registered. Everything above a 5 included spending longer on the forum than I naturally do. I can't participate in discussions or read posts for hours each day (or even, each week) on average because I focus intensely on a few key topics and tend to ramble on about those. Those are not the types of threads or discussions that most of the current members of UD get involved in. You all have lives.

But on a more serious note, everyone is a little too busy to get involved in the stuff I like to talk about. You may notice I do a lot of list posts. Ask a lot of questions about things that would require people to really sit down and think about things, in terms of - for example, the Favorite Scenes / Songs / Lines in TV? thread - lists and such. People here are just a little to in-and-out about their opinions and I'm not sure they really get to know themselves as well as I try to encourage them to. If that makes any sense. Also, I just don't care about all these Upcoming things. There is so much discussion about Upcoming movies, shows, music, games, other things. I usually look back instead of forward. So much interest in things that are hip and popular right now when I just don't see the appeal in most of it.

I think I'm a 6B. I'm on multiple times a day, usually, but some days I'm not on at all. I post when I have something to say, and occasionally when I don't. But sometimes I just like to sit back and watch the action. And sometimes I get bored and go away for a week. But I always come crawling back....

[Isidour]

The kind of poster who post...once every year or less?

[ajmrowland]

as with several other sites, an aggressive poster.

Then what does that make *me*?

Wow, much has changed. At the time of this thread's creation, I was a daily poster 2.0. Now I've downgraded to casual and am starting to tip toe towards acquaintance poster 2.0. Part of it may because I'm always so busy nowadays, but I think part of it is just that we're (or I'm) running out of things to talk about now that so many Disney films are on DVD. There's not as much of a a thrill at hearing about a re-release like there was, say, 5 years ago when a film was debuting on the format.

Even with me being a Blu-ray buyer, I don't find myself as excited at hearing BD announcements. Heck, I only seem to watch bonus features once when I first make a purchase and that's it. Compare that to years back where I'd devour every supplement over and over again and would raise hell if the platter was lightweight. Now I buy barebones discs (like Kingdom of Heaven) without thinking twice. I guess home video, for me at least, is no longer as exciting.

During the summer- I shift between "The Daily Poster 2.0" and "The Hourly Poster". Only because I have nothing to do.. Not like I'm obsessed or anything... at all.. he he...

Actually, during school I go between "The Casual Poster" and "The Daily Poster 1.0", the former when I more busy/tired, the latter when I have less to worry about/more excitement for something new.

Reading this makes me realize I really need to get a life.

[TheSequelOfDisney]

I feel like I'm all over the place. Sometimes I just lurk and see what's happening with the forum. Other times I feel like discussing/starting a topic. However, I do feel like I'm posting a lot less than I have in the past. Overall, I would say that I post something if I'm really passionate about a topic (like Fantasia/2000 for instance), but I generally just "mark the topics read" just so that the wiggly squares turn back to white and stop moving. I feel like this forum was much better back in the olden days (WOAH, this'll be my fifth year being on here this November. That's freaky!!)

Just got around to reading this update for the first time in a while, and realised that I've become a benchmark for the type of forum member you may be. Does this mean that I am in a category all of my own?

The Loomis Poster: Used to post by the thousands, now sits somewhere between the Lurker and the Shameless Self-Promoter.

Loomis, you've always been a category.

Besides, even if you don't post often, the spirit of your posting must remain. If only to try and lure you back here, as well as educate newer members on the Legend of Loomis.
