I used to lurk on other forums, but as soon as I met BHW, I feel like joining the discussion!!
And join you have! So glad to see you've been participating in our community! :D :D :D
 
Hi there lurkers!

Yes we know you’re there. We’ve got tons of visitors who come to BHW every day without a registered account. You are most welcome here - in fact, loads of our members start out lurking on the forum for a little while before they decide to sign up. Because we value your attention (and let’s face it, your traffic), we thought you might appreciate a helping hand that’s just for you.

As a lurker, you can’t actually do anything on the forum (duh). But you can still read all of the nuggets of advice and IM goodness that we have to offer. When you think about it, starting out as a lurker is the safest way to ease yourself into our forum. You can still get some really great IM/SEO insights and ideas, all while you become familiar with the way we do things around here. By the time you’ve got a question and you’re ready to ask it, you’ll probably be more comfortable with our rules than a lot of our other newbies, which means you’re less likely to do something silly and get yourself an infraction.

Our newbie guides are going to be really useful for you too. There will be a lot about what you can and can’t do at different levels of membership but in amongst that, there’ll be some handy tips for you too.

See what I mean? Plus, the more you read about our forum, we’re pretty sure you’re going to want to sign up. Yes, you can read our threads while you’re lurking, but you can’t benefit from the freebies and offers that members get, and you can’t sell to our community of specialists (also known as a captive audience). We also have partnership programs and carefully selected offers with providers - you can https://www.blackhatworld.com/account/partnerships, but you will have to register an account to do that (aren't we sneaky?).

Lurking is a great way to find out if BHW is right for you. Lots of our users actually end up joining because they've been lurking for a while and they've discovered that BHW has a very unique community with an equally unique sense of humour. So go forth and lurk, we won’t rush you to join us, but we’ll be glad to have you when you do.
I'm new here, probably been in for 3 mins and already sign up! thanks you.
 
I've recently realized that some of the people that have the biggest pockets and have ended up as my clients are lurkers. I imagine they are busy people who have no need/time to interact with other on a forum and are just coming here to find people who deliver services. Just an experience I wanted to share.
 
I am mostly a lurker at first, but once I posted my first post, I can't afford to stop.
 
I think it can be wise if BHW would help the Lurkers to somehow have access to communicate with Marketplace sellers or Jr.VIP for services.

That's a bit redundant as we have the forum generally open to the public already.

Communicating with sellers via the forum is a membership privilege.
 
I think this is awesome! Admittedly when you start off in a new forum or community or even if you just want to know what the fuss is all about, you end up as a Lurker.

Like, where to find useful general information in each part of the forum.

How we’ve structured BHW.

What all of our acronyms mean.

Hi guys, I am one of the lurkers who just become a newbie today. Looking forward to thriving in BHW. For other Lurkers out there: Just register guys, it is really really easier to find guideline and posts for newbie.
 
I was a lurker for a long time, I joined then forgot about BHW but from today this is my home.
 
Do lurkers sometimes buy services in the forum
Yes, and I can say this based on personal experience.

You see, back when I had a marketplace thread here on BHW, I would often receive orders from people who browsed the website, but did not have an account. Some people just prefer to work that way.

I've seen many sellers here say something similar at various points as well.
 
I have been a lurker for a few weeks now and i decided to become a newbie today so i can interact with others on subject i'm curious about.
