2. The term lurker seems to be offensive to some, but I don't think it is meant to be offensive. It simply is a term used to mean non-contributing member. If you've been a member for over a year and have 0 posts that would equal a non-contributing member.

I certainly agree that a few people seem to be somewhat touchy. It's just a bit of banter, nothing to get upset over. I actually looked up the word "lurk" on an online dictionary, and much to my surprise a new definition has been ascribed to the word: "To read but not contribute to the discussion in a newsgroup, chatroom, or other online forum." So it doesn't really have an offensive undertone at all, all though this perhaps isn't common knowledge.

6. Do you know any other forum on the internet that offers thousands upon thousands of active threads without tons of dead content? Do you know any other forum that offers real amateur content that isn't 90% staged pro content? Do you know any other forum that offers what OCC offers without advertising and is totally free? If the answer is yes, please PM me the url to that forum.

I used to spend more time in the past looking at pics on various sites, and there certainly are a few similar sites to OCC, but OCC is by far the largest. As I spend less time today I very rarely visit them, but each site often offers some variety, which is nice if one "dedicates" an unhealthy amount of time to this hobby. Anyhow, I've began to try to remember to use the thanks button on all the forums I visit.
