Where are they all?

[welsh dragon]

Same here, and considering the amount of cack that I do write can you imagine what goes unwritten? 🤣

I'm glad you said that and not me.

Boring answer, here.... Isn't it just that people have ticked the 'Keep me logged in' box?

Maybe they take one look at the Retirement thread and lose the will to live?

I read far more than I write on here, it's sometimes just nice to read some of the accounts of trips, or thoughts on bikes, or projects. Clearly one or two members believe it's compulsory to contribute to every thread.

Actually I quite often start to type on a subject and then think "I'm adding nothing" and I leave it there. There are probably many others who read more than they write.

I am the opposite, hence only occasionally adding anything useful I do tend to hang on 'Mundane News' for that very reason methinks.

10% of forum (internet) users produce 90% of content or something like that

That’s true about Twitter, which is why it’s a bad way of actually working out what the population think, as the percentage of people who actually contribute is very small and most are highly motivated.

yep, which is why it irritates me like hell when the bbc reports what the twitter crowd are saying about anything.

Or 2 eyes, 1 typing finger.

I spend more time reading than posting.

 

[MartinQ]

Reckon thats it. Or it might be the @Fnaar fanclub waiting for a post?

To insert it somewhere? Bit like pin the tail on the donkey?

I'm logged in all the time. It saves me the arduous task of logging in every time i want to post something.
So if you see me logged in,it doesn't necessarily mean i'm looking in.

I'm glad you said that and not me.

Considering how much more you write on here than me...... 😂😂😂

 

[HMS_Dave]

I reckon there are more members using the search function and finding the answers they require than other forum members give them credit for...

Half an hour after your last activitity you're shown as no longer actually on site.

I administer another site and found that around 50% of registered members have zero posts and a further 10% of the total have no more than one post. Throughout the post count v. number of members with that count describes a lovely exponential curve, with most members having zero posts and as post counts rise the number of members with those counts decays exponentially.

Reasons may be that people join up to see areas of the forums that are hidden from general view (such as sales) or to allow them to interact with other members (again with sales often being a big driver). Another more sinister reason is that many could be spammers just using the site to improve search engine rankings of the sites they associate with in the content they post or profile information.
