I'm curious how many lurkers Hexbear has, we can really only tell the number of active posters from the stats, as far as I understand it.

Do folks with accounts even really count as lurkers? Are you lurking if you're up-bearing? I need clear definitions of terms.

I'm pretty sure that all counts. A lurker is just anyone who is actively using the site but isn't visible. So anonymous forms of engagement don't violate that.
