I believe that in most of the contexts used here it is someone that is not a member, but does a lot of reading on the site. I would surmise that many of us were lurkers before joining.
I won't use the meme because it piss's Big John off! You need to be a grown up and find things out yourself!

The lurkers were heavy and grabbed the cars we talked about and most of them were flippers looking to make an easy buck from our evaluations. Not so much anymore....so a lot of the lurkers left. You can tell when there was 200 people viewing FCBO and only 20 of them were FCBO members.
