View Profile I had re-posted this thread because it had a private poll and the votes would have never been shown. I had also added the ability to have multiple choices. I apologize for any problems that may have occurred while voting on the last poll.
Feel free to use the thread for open discussion and opinions on what kind of member you are. :)
So I was thinking about forum lurkers earlier today, and this poll question came to mind. I also got the idea from this link I was checking out right here.

So the general question is, what kind of forum member most describes you?
According to the site above, there are 5 general categories. I have posted their summaries below for those too lazy to view the link.
---
The Salesman - The salesman is motivated to be everyone’s friend. They typically will not try to anger anyone and will reply with neutral comments to show contribution and keep peace with everyone.
[B]The Intellect -The intellect’s are a rare find and they usually find you. They are motivated by correcting and providing in-depth information about a certain subject.
[B]The Clueless - Clueless members will often ask the same question several times or just keep asking for clarification after several examples have been provided. This of course leads to members replying angrily and becoming frustrated.
[B]The Angry & Frustrated - Angry and frustrated members usually find the forum as an escape from their daily routines. It’s important to understand that they are already angry and frustrated by the time they show up at the forum.
[B]The Lurker - The lurker usually joined the forum because it is useful and provides good information. They are called lurkers because they never post and always show up as daily visitors in your forum statistics.

View Profile I decided clueless because I still don't know how to properly behave on a forum. Also I find myself a bit of an intellectual, but I could only select one option.:confused:
EDIT: This confirms how clueless I am.

View Profile Salesman
Intellect
and Clueless.
I am always looking to be positive to most. Even if it may not come out well i'm always aiming to make the most positive place.
I'm an intellect for most things depending on who. Some more older members obviously know more than me, but I try not to talk about things I know nothing about. And I help anyone with information that I know, or have a strong opinion about.
But I am also clueless, when I don't understand, i ask a question, and ask more and more questions to make sure I understand 100%. I may have an answer, but when a different scenario is in my head, I ask, which usually causes people to become frustrated because I ask on and on until I fully understand every case and scenario.
