Lurkers lurk. This lurking may exist in the form of excessive monitoring and creating of PT threads, checking out other people's myspaces without the intention of leaving a comment or message, or hitting on/trying to get with someone. Most people are a lurker sometimes, but you aren't truly a lurker until PT or myspace is used everytime you see a computer, or you're creepy (possibly old) and hit on mad girls.

A guy who hangs around your girlfriend as a "friend" who is really just waiting for the day when you and your significant other are on the rocks. That is when he swoops in to make a move, as the comforter, supporter, and basher of her current bf. Women are oblivious to them entirely.

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.

Someone who is constantly on myspace looking at the same people that they don't know over and over again to see if they have new pictures, who their friends are etc. etc.

Lurkers often lurk in packs, to show their fellow lurkers their lurkees, and to show off their taste in lurkees.
