However for me, this means that my interest in the forum will often wane for long periods of time as I don't always want to rehash the same old stuff again and again.
Yeah, and not just BF commuting. I continue to lurk even when It seems to go through a stale period. I used to frequent other interest related forums, and occasionally drift back. I used to be very active in a forum for RC planes, especially the Construction/and Q500 racing threads. I now bike more than I do that, so still spend a lot more time on BF, and check in there to mostly lurk about once a week.
