Not sure why exactly, but this does seem to fit General Discussion more then Media.

Well, people do post other stuff here besides media and music I suppose. But I love the abilities this board has!!

Its also nice to see who is online(well they can choose to remain hidden) but a general idea of who is on is really really nice. But I am actually sorta surprised by the Lurkers.

I never really understood why someone would lurk more then a couple of days.

PS. Unit, about lurkers. There are times you are lurking even though it does not show you. I know, because I found a way to see you. Ha ha. Maybe, if you are nice, I will tell you how. Wicked Mwa ha ha. (It may be though, because I am set as moderator. I do not know."

That is unfortunate to hear. Not that I can see many people actually returning but they will never have a community like us again. Maybe some people will hang out there from time to time, but they pretty much ruined any actual community happening.

Yeah I think I have mods beable to see people who have chosen to hide whether or not they are online or not.

I don't think I quite understand what you are talking about??

What do you mean seeing weird times?

When people make posts there is a time shown. They are all over the board.

Those time stamps are when the post was posted. The one with the dates signify that a couple days have passed since the last post in that thread/section.

Unless I am wrong, sometimes someone just "now" posts and have impossible times for their location. I will give more attention.

I believe the forum puts down the time where you live. If someone posts something at 1am there time, and its 3 am where you live. The post timing will be marked as 3. While for them your posts will be timed at like 1 am.

Of course you should make sure in your preferences that you pick the right timezone thing. Otherwise the forums clock and your clock can be off by hours.

Did I answer your question...

or did I like completely misunderstand it? lol

hmm

I need to work on my communication skills I think.
