Lurkers by definition love to 'watch', so all you have to do to catch a Lurker is give them lots and lots of eye-candy. Dangle it in front of them and they won't be able to resist comming out of the woodwork!
That's the secret behind my "Have I got an Avatar for you?" thread. That, and a fast turn-around on special requests!
What's that? you're still hiding? Don't be shy, drop by the 'Avatar' thread and join the fun!
..This advertizement has been brought to you by ME! Yup, I did it, I'm still doing it, but I won't be doing it forever! Are you going to miss the boat? I hope not!
Cheers!
