1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: lurker n. One of the ?silent majority? in an electronic forum; one who posts occasionally or not at all but is known to read the group's postings regularly. This term is not pejorative and indeed is casually used reflexively: ?Oh, I'm just lurking.? Often used in the lurkers, the hypothetical audience for the group's flamage-emitting regulars. When a lurker speaks up for the first time, this is called delurking. The creator of the popular science-fiction TV series Babylon 5 has ties to SF fandom and the hacker culture. In that series, the use of the term ?lurker? for a homeless or displaced person is a conscious reference to the jargon term.
