Lurker Alert!

At this minute we have 15 members with us and we have 44 lurkers trying to decide if those of us in the SCF Family are anywhere near normal or if we're some sort of cult where, once they get sucked in, 50% of their collection will have to go to PhilB to fund our stamp collecting activities.

Offer to Lurkers:

Any lurker who joins in the next two or three hours and then posts their ID in this thread can have their choice of 50 used German commemoratives, or 50 Israel commemorative used/mint, or their choice of one of the two remaining 2009 Scott catalogs I have left - all sent postage paid when they reach 50 posts.

This starts now: 12:53 AM CST on Tuesday, Oct 26th.

That sounds interesting. I would be interested for the Scott catalogue.

make it princely states mnh and I will come back in as spock 2.0 :)

Spock, you use cardinal numerals, I thought you would be binary?

Nobody came in.

How sad.

Try again though Swabbie, and I will have a go as well.

Good idea.

Could some of the lurkers just be members who do not sign in all the time?

Yes, there is something odd in the numbers.
Current 7 aboard with 58 lurkers, that's hard to fathom.

Perhaps, people doing a general Google search will have
SCF replies as part of the response, and read postings whilst they are here,
but 58 at the moment seems hard to believe.

What's hard to believe about it?

stampgal you mean like spock 10?

I've seen more than 58 lurkers at a time before. We now have a bigger world-wide representation and probably have good exposure/participation 24 hours a day. We can get them to bite - we just need to get a good hook in them!

Sorry Lubos - the offer was for non-member lurkers only. We're just trying to expand the membership.

79 lurkers right now. I did not realize I was lurking until I tried to post this message. I got the red "There is a problem" message to remind me. I clear my browser cache often. I think many of the lurkers are members not logged in.

A few, I wouldn't call it many.

Spock 10, Spock 11, Spock 100 . . . . that would get out of hand rather quickly.

Ive just posted a wall post on my facebook page with a link to the site -- maybe get a few bites there.
