Lurker

One who lurks, particularly online in chat mediums. Lurkers are fond of staying in the shadows like a spider but monitoring online chat activity all the while. Lurkers usually have a tendency to profess innocence of lurkdom, as well as offer excuses of supposed non-lurk activity when caught.

"Did you see that guy, Alan, online? Boy is HE a lurker."
