Why Can't I.....

...see the second page of OT when not logged in?
decided to try lurkking again, but it was not possible.

MarkG · April 7, 2003, 17:58

you can lurk while being logged in

Locutus · April 7, 2003, 17:59

But what if you can't log in? (I don't trust my boss OR my co-workers...)

Andemagne · April 7, 2003, 18:05

right. but what if you have only little time and you want to check out (read not post) only one or two threads?

Skanky Burns · April 7, 2003, 18:49

Well, you can't.

(Unless you bump them to the first page, and then log out to read them)

red_jon · April 7, 2003, 20:54

No-one likes a lurker.

Me thinks this works the other way around too...

Just make a lurking DL.

If your co-workers ever get a hold of the account they are not in a position to spoil your unblemished reputation.

A lurking DL? That's like playing basketball without a ball.

DaShi · April 8, 2003, 13:33

It's so the moderators can track your lurking activities. They like to keep records of which threads each poster is looking at.

then they sell your e-mail address to the appropriate internet companies (spammers)

*creates new yahoo email address for the sole use of an apolyton DL
*creates apolyton DL
*waits to see if large volumes of spam come in

atawa · April 8, 2003, 17:41

Creating a DL for lurking only, that would be a first

Skanky Burns · April 8, 2003, 17:47

Strange, but it does actually solve the problems.

atawa · April 8, 2003, 17:54

But if you just turn off cookies you wont have the problem of your colleagues using your account anyway.

DrSpike · April 8, 2003, 21:36

Maybe 30,000 = 29,000 + 1,000 lurking DL's.

VJ · April 9, 2003, 07:03

So... AH has 28 997 active DL's and 1 000 passive?

D@mn threadjackers.

Skanky Burns · April 10, 2003, 19:21

Question asked, question answered. What more do you want?

i thought the purpose of moderators was to spam so much that it makes everyone else's spamming look less raging??
