Have you analyzed the user list lately?

Toomas

These boards have about 2450 registred user of whom 929 have 0 posts, is that normal??
Also why the hell you would sign up if you dont post???????????????????????

Mishra

yeah, it's normal. every forum you go to. on one of the forums i go to, there are 28,000 members, 3/4ths with 0 posts due to forum crashes, resets, etc, and also that a lot dont post ever.

KDR_11k

I really don't get it, this forum can be viewed without an account, if you never post you can just go without an account. Or do they want to send PMs to random people?

MoP

Probably for sending PM's. Or maybe they signed up to post, then decided against it.

Mishra

no, mostly i think they want to post, they look at the forum once, register, then forget about it. or they lurk. someone is reading this right now, masturbating in his mother's basement, and we don't know who it is. or it's cheapalert.

Actually I posted a bit on the old boards.. just not here

A bit OT: Did you also notice (on the 'who's Online' page) that there are always a few anonymous persons looking at the desktop wallpaper threads we regulary have, even if they have sunk at least a few pages back already? Somehow a searchengine must output these when searching for nekid chicks

I made a funny post once and someone didn't take it as funny. They called me a Nazi cum head and added me to ignore so I couldn't PM or post an explaination. I had to create a new account to PM them and explain, I never posted with that account.

Weiser_Cain

You nazi cum head

PaK

My boss lurks here, im almost sure he doesnt post.

oXYnary

big brother?

mr.damage

Used to post (rarely) before the old board when bust.

Now I visit Cgtalk, Cgchat a bit more. I still lurk around here... this might be my first post on the new board.

cheers.

ebagg

The lurkers are among us!!!

Super

You sign up with excitement but then realise you can't play with the big boys.

Oh..

gauss

or you just sign up and never post any models or art and talk in GD all the time. there are those, too.

Marine

it's not the no posts thing that gets me, it's that they took the time to add a custom avatar

The3DGuy

maybe they are just reserving their spots in forums before someone else takes the name l33thax0r before everyone else does. I mean it would be confusing if there was a Teh3DGuy or a TheThreeDeeGuy or The3DSleep or The3DWork or the3dguy|away or or or or....

Campaignjunkie

I'm just afraid to post. I don't know what I'm afraid of, or why I'm afraid - I just am. I think I'm in a similar boat to Super though, I just don't think I can play with the "big boys." Plus, it's just so daunting to see such a tightly-knit community here, I feel like an interloper.

MoP

i was an interloper when i first started posting too, you know
now i'm a moderator! astonishing.

Dukester

It only takes one or two posts to lose the dreaded interloper status

plus there are shitloads of us here who "can't play with the big boys" so don't even worry about that!

Thegodzero

I'm an interloper in mop's pants!

Mishra

i cant even play with the little boyss and i still post.

edit: i mean, not constructively, intelligently, or anything worth reading at all, but posts nonetheless.

Campaignjunkie

... I feel more welcome already.

Weiser_Cain

We'll see if that lasts...

Valandar

Then there's those newbies like me, who signed on and posted a VERY little bit quite some time ago, and then got distracted by Real Life (tm) for many, many moons, and have just now drifted back...

Chub_e

I dont know about playing with boys..big or little..but I do visit this forum on a daily basis..I just never post

Mark Dygert
