What kind of BP.netter are you?

[4theSNAKElady]

After being a member for quite awhile, there seems to be at least one "category" that most members fall into lol....I'll describe them here, and if theres some I missed, feel free to add on

1. "Night Owlers"- those members who are on late at night until the wee hours of the morning scanning through threads that look interesting...these types of members often have insomnia, or work most of the day, and just cant wait to get on the forums when they get home
2. "24/7ers"-these members are on, yep you guessed it...all day, every day. They know EVERYTHING that's going on the 'net....heated discussions, good deals in the sale section, the best posted photos of the day, your daily herp news, etc,. If you wanna be in-the-know, pm these guys
3. "Lurkers" - these members may or may not have signed up as early '05, and be quite active, scanning threads all over the forums, but have not made a SINGLE post....ever. Maybe they're scared, idk. There's prob very few of these types.
4. "Business Lurkers" - these are pretty easy to identify.....they have a total of 89 threads posted over the months/years they've joined...80 of which are in the For Sale section, with the other 9 being in the BP pictures section....which are probably animals mentioned in the latter. These members are here for pretty much one thing.
5. "Newbies" - these members go without saying. They have recently joined the forum, and may or may not be new to the world of BPs. Usually ask many questions to feel their way around the BP.net community, and make themselves known, or get information if they are new to BPs
6. "Superhelpers" - these members are on almost as much as the 24/7ers. May or may not be a mod or admin. They are constantly on the prowl to help those in need.....answering as many questions as they can, regardless of the simplicity. Most are VERY knowledgeable about everything BP. You can find them hangin around newbie threads a lot. Often times, they are the only responders to a few OP's questions, without judgement. These helpers are saluted for their kind and informative assistance which time and time again, makes this the BEST BP forum out there.
7. "Weekenders" - members who work weekday jobs, or school, have many school aged children, or who just plain cant get on the forums until Saturday and Sunday. These members often get the BP.net "itches" by Thursday evening. They just cant WAIT until the weekend so they can catch up on all the forum goings on! The forums are usually abuzz on Saturdays and Sundays with the activity of Weekenders and 24/7ers....These particular types of members also usually wish they had more time on the weekdays to go on the 'net.
8. "Bullbaiters" - there's always one or a few of these guys in EVERY group, regardless of size....these types of members are (for the most part) not bad people....they just like to ruffle feathers and stir things up. These members probably visit the Quarantine Room often. They make things interesting.....you can watch a thread go from 30 posts to 130 posts in 2 seconds flat when a Bullbaiter joins that thread.
9. "Informants" - don't know how they do it, but these types seem to know everything. Surely these types must have at least 10 college degrees lol.They probably have a constantly full PM box with tons of questions, ranging from "whats the sex of my BP????" to "How can I fix my incubator!! My BP just laid eggs!!" . Many Superhelpers team up with these types because they are great members to refer to for difficult to answer questions....since Informants seem to give a great and informative answer every time. Again, like Superhelpers, Informants may or may not be mods or admins. These members also seem to help Newbies in distress if no one else is around.



These are all things I made up to be humorous....they are not meant to be offensive to anyone. Id love to hear any additions or categories I may have missed. Id love to know what y'all think too.

Hmmm.. I suppose I'm 1 and 3.
Mmmmaaaybe I check the forum when I go to the bathroom during passing period.
And I'm slightly insomniatic.

24/7er and aspiring Superhelper!

[bhouse89]

Definitely a newbie. However, instead of posting a bunch of questions, I just lurked for the past 3-4 months before even signing up.

[Daybreaker]

24/7er and sometimes a superhelper if I think I have something useful/informative to contribute

[kdreptiles]

I guess I'm a night owler.... and honestly, I've seen plenty of "superhelpers" compromise quality of their information and "help" for quantity of replies.
