Yihoo! I got in the lurk report! Ok, my mission for next week: 2 seperate entries in the lurk report. I think I can, I think I can...

[mlmbd]

dogscoff, I celebrate with you!

2 seperate entries in the LURK REPORT. You have VERY, VERY HIGH goals, indeed!

But you do have a entire week!

..hmmm I'm happy and sad all at the same time.. I made it into the 'Lurk Report' but I'm 14th on the list and there was no link to the 'Avatar Emporium' Geoschmo set up for me

..and I thought my thread was one of the most active this past week! (240+ new avatar pics in 7 days. That's an average of 34+ per day WoW! I'm smokin' )

C'ya, I got more Avatars to attack! Charge!..

[Ruatha]

Still haven't made it to the Lurk report, well the FAQ has been quiet for a long time now, and that's all I've got.
Maybe I should get into modding, just to get into the lurk report.

[mlmbd]

David Gervais, the LURK REPORT is not done on a popularity bases. Or how active the thread is, I dont count Posts. It obviously needs to have some activity within the Last seven days! When I start to prepare the report I just log on and the way the threads sit is the way I report them. I decided to do this so no one could say I was showing favoritism. Is so happens I started this report very early this morning. Only 2 other Users on the Forums.

there was no link to the 'Avatar Emporium' Geoschmo set up for me

Ah, I found the link on your thread. The Avatar Emporium is on the PBW server. I only report on threads on the Space Empires: IV Forum. I did give both the threads I saw mention.

Ruatha,

Still haven't made it to the Lurk report, well the FAQ has been quiet for a long time now, and that's all I've got.

As you say, the FAQ has been rather Quiet!

that's all I've got.

Post on it! Send every NEWBIE looking for answers to the FAQ thread! Get people interested in the FAQ! Heck Man, it is a really great idea!

Maybe I should get into modding, just to get into the lurk report.

Won't help. Unless there is some activity on it!

[David E. Gervais]

mlmbd, but, but,..but I was only kidding I wasn't really sad. It's just my way of letting you know I read your report. (by the way the lurk report is very well done, and I'm sure that many people peek in here to find out what's happening.)
In fact since you posted the report I have seen several new people poping over to my avatar thread to check the action out. Thanks! You are providing a welcome and usefull service by writing this report every week. Keep up the fantastic work.

BTW.. you should have known that I've been having way too much fun this week to have a sad bone in my body.

Cheers!

[mlmbd]

David Gervais, sorry for my misinterpretation. I just spend lots of hours (which I do love, or I wouldn't keep doing the report) trying to make sure I am as fair to everyone as is possible!

I am glad you are enjoying yourself! Everyone should.

WELCOME THE EIGHTH (AND POSSIBLY FINAL) EDITION OF THE LURK REPORT! Brought to you by mlmbd ;

GOOD DAY ONE AND ALL!!! Hope you are having, or will have a GREAT Friday!! As well as an AWESOME X-MAS! Followed by an OUTSTANDING NEW YEAR!

FIRST, This is going to be the smallest LURK REPORT ever! OK, you can stop cheering now. Geesh! The LURK REPORT is going on vacation for TWO (you heard me) TWO weeks. MAYBE FOR GOOD. Since I started this thread. There has been very little feed back. So, in the next TWO WEEKS, you decide whether or not you want it to continued. You don't have to post much. Or anything relevant for that matter. Just so I know I am not doing this for MYSELF! OK, enough said on that.

There is only ONE item to report this week!

Ruatha, has been making additions to his FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies. You can read all about it here;
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=23;t=005518 Go on, I know you have a question about SEIV!
He has also started a thread if you would like to make an addition. Or just help him out. You can get there, right here; http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=23;t=007663 Don't pass up the chance to be FAMOUS!

OK! That is it for this week. Boys and Girls!

So for NOW; This is, mlmbd , Signing off!!!

I "THANK YOU", And I bid you WELL!!

So much for plans to get 2 mentions... oh well, next time I'll do it for sure.

The lurk report should stay! I still think you should find a place to archive all the previous reports for posterity and (possibly) reference.

The Encyclopedia Malfadorica seems like a logical place, or I could host the report on my site, if you can stand my habit of forgetting to update it for months at a time .
