I think this vision statement from MongoJerry really sums up what the LurkerLounge is about:
Vision statement: The Lurker Lounge: WoW Edition is a site devoted to intelligent and civil discussion of strategy, tactics, and gameplay issues in the game, World of Warcraft. The Lurker Lounge is not a guild, and we welcome players with any guild affiliation to join in the discussion and post content here.
This site has primarily been a strategy/technical site driven by forum content. Game mechanics, bugs, character builds, interesting strategies for solo and cooperative play, and the occasional tale of incredible accomplishments involving those strategies, have been the features. Generally, people come here for information, not to find a gaming community. However, birds of a feather flock together, and many of the people who post here enjoy gaming together as well.
That's how it worked for Diablo and D2, and it seems to be the goal for WoW as well. However, WoW is a very different sort of game with a somewhat different community, so it's hard to tell exactly how it will play out. If most people find this place through interactions *in game* rather than by searching for strategy websites, then the emphasis of this site will change by its own will.
In any case, welcome to the Lurker Lounge!
