I have sat lurking for many months, so it's been nothing for a very long time. Now I'm out of the lurking shadows, it's now just chat notifications. I rarely get quoted, though it makes me panic a little when I am. It used to be badges, I got quite hooked on getting as many as I could.

Daystar just sends me dick pics all the time. It's kind of annoying really. I mean, after the first one I kind of already know what it looks like. Then again, sometimes he gets creative and makes it festive. Wish I could share the Christmas-themed one he sent last year.

Oh, um....

Well, usually just quote notifications. I occasionally PM people, but most the people I talk to around here I can reach on more easily accessible channels, anyway. I turn off group chat notifications unless it's a quote. Even then, sometimes I turn them off. Some of the more active groups will clog the fuck out of your notification queue.

It's PMs and chat notifications for me.

Usually the PMs are from the same small pool of people though.
I'm pretty active in one or two groups, one in particular, so most of my chat notifications are from there.

I'll occasionally get quoted, usually not for nice reasons though. D:

We should write an angry letter and demand that we get equal nude pics, or we burn down the chat.

This is bullshit. :mad:

If I've said something a group recently, then it's usually a group notification. Otherwise, it's most likely to be a quote. It's common for me post in the first few posts of a thread, so I tend to get a lot of quotes from those, I woke up to three today.

For a while I was only posting in threads about topics like EA or Blizzard/WoW, so many of my quotes from recent months have either been someone disagreeing when I said that the reason they were whining wasn't really defensible or when I suggested that they were being melodramatic/paranoid/spiteful.

This sounds dangerously close to bragging about my clearly superior and infinitely more level head (which sadly remains hypothetical), so I'll freely admit that most of my posts were whining preemptively about unnecessary negativity like a wee babby.

The last couple weeks have been people agreeing when I get excited about something that interests me, so that's nice.

Badge and system notifications. So, it's what you'd expect from a lurker of my caliber.

EDIT: The Escapist has a chat function? Huh.

It's normally quote notifications, with the occasional badge after a quiz. For reference though I normally get like 5 a week, so it's not like I'm...divisive, or anything.

This is order of the most message I get in my inbox-

1 Quotes
2 System message (Mostly badge reward and abit of friend request but not too often)
3 Group notifications (Granted I am not as chatty as I was in the past, I more of a lurker in the group page I'm on)
4 Private Message

Just wait until you see what I've got planned for Valentine's Day, it's gonna blow your goddamn mind all the way to Sexy Town.

Hmmmm...

Nowadays, it's more UG quotes and PMs, although if I've posted in a thread recently, I always have a mixture of both excitement and dread, because, well, you know, it's the Escapist...

Only joined recently. So they're mostly notifications telling me how I got badges for talking in three different places, or setting an avatar. Basic pat on head "Well done you!" stuff. :p

Ladies, please. I've been trying to take the nicest nude possible for you.

Topaz said he wouldn't ban me for this because he wanted one too.

Porn Daystar nudes My nudes Mostly group notifications, the odd quote message and the very rare PM. Although I think that's because my PMs aren't sending for some reason.

I should check if they are...

I used to get quoted a lot because I like the ME3 ending...

Nowadays I stay away from most controversial topics :p
