I'm not sure which section is the appropriate repository for this query since I don't have an "idea" or even a clue really; but just now as I was looking at the membership roll I noticed that a large number of members never make so much as one post - why do these people join? Are there any pages they can't view that they will then be able to view immediately upon joining?
It seemed to me, at the time, that the reason to join was to be able to post... I bet they want to receive the Sensual World's Season's Greetings email.

Then there are the trolls ,lurkers, spammers and flamers. So the rare 10% or so are the only ones that ever post. But still, why even join if you don't plan to post. We are very open for people to check us out. And we even allow guest and anonymous posts. So it really is odd.

I just joined and I jump right in! That's the way to do it. This is a very old thread but Im a member of another forum that's only a year and a half old,but we have the same problem with a lot of members not making one post. I must have joined during some down time. Not much chatting going on. Where is everyone

Hello there nutbar. I started this thread in a different incarnation... so here I am anyway. Ah well, I could understand it (non-posting) if there were some goodies given upon membership but if this is indeed the case I have yet to receive mine! While interests, available time, and circumstances in general change over time one would think that at the time of initial membership a person would be interested in posting...

Yes, it is a bit quiet.
I'd certainly think we could talk about 50 Words For Snow, just for a start.

I must have joined during some down time. Not much chatting going on. Where is everyone I've been here for 9 years. Facebook and Twitter have taken most members free time. The activity here is more laid back. Read some old threads and comment. We will respond...
