I have never thought of it as an insult, redc3. Look at it as though it's connected to the number of views of that particular thread. Often the # of views are 10 to 20 times the number of posts. Frequently more than that if there's good photos/video or a sexy sounding subject.

Does anybody know whether

is used more in General or Tech/Perf?

I understand the "lurk" part of the smiley. However, the little face on this lurk smiley has a bit of a smirk to his expression. I had the notion that this meant the "lurker" was expressing an incredulous or doubtful attitude, or even worse, I sometimes wondered if it had a BS message. Maybe we should have a smiley that indicates a "lurk" without the smirk!

If one thinks about this,popcorn suggests sitting in a movie,watching....so the logic of the popcorn with a smiley face makes sense in the context of the forum inventor...

It means that you have intrest in the topic but nothing to offer

I used to use "bump" to bump it up; hopefully that's acceptable...
