n. The guy who hangs out by the dumpster in the 7-11 parking lot. He doesn't really ever do anything; he just looks like he's about to. The Lurker has a well groomed molestache and still listens to Snow and Vanilla Ice. Also seen at NASCAR events.
Be careful dude, I saw The Lurker over there last week.
Person who has less than 5% of the average user's number of interventions in an online community (sometimes even 0 interventions), yet seems to know everything about everyone. He's the one saving all of your Myspace photos in his computer without ever leaving a comment on them. After a week of lurking, he learns the ways of an online community better than very old members of it.
In real life, a lurker is a person who "happens" to overhear the most intimate of conversations and witness some key moments without many people even noticing he's there.
It's the 3925th time (random number) I go on Urban Dictionary, but the first time I post a definition. I guess that makes me a lurker.

Someone who "lurks" around an Internet forum, only reading and never posting. "Lurking" is often the result of being too scared or lazy to register, and the term mostly applies to those who do not; however you do get the occasional member who doesn't post.
There are ALWAYS more lurkers than registered members.

Dude, how come you never comment about anything I write on my site? You're such a lurker.
