why do people join if they dont post? looking at the members lists - there are 222 pages which at 10 per page is 2220 members. From page 172 onwards all members have no posts - thats 50 pages and 500 members have registered and never posted. what is the point
They are probaly just jioning so they know whats been posted since they last been here. But looking at the members list I noticed I was #109 in post counts (before this post)
Maybe, they join with the intention of posting sometime, and then never come back. I've signed up at a few message boards that I very rarely visit/post at.
lol
I remembered the first time you asked this question. It changed my whole life(hmm, lets say on this board). Before that, I was a lurker to. I had registerd but didn't post. My first post (on the new board) was an answer to this question.
I've been with this board, almost a year and the first 9 monts I had a postcount of max 5. I wasn't registerd on the old board. I posted as wiseguy. I doubt anyone will remember me as that name, otherwise he/she must have a great memory.
But on behalf of the lurkers. I liked having a name on this board. even if I didn't post. When you come here very often, you'll start to know the regulars and when you have a name here, that will make you a little part of this community(sp?). And when you do make a post, it won't be under unregistered.You'll have an identity.
I think it is pretty much the same thing as I told you last time. But I'm glad(sp?) I posted on that question. It was the start of many posts. And it is much more fun to post then to lurk around. Thank you for that Iain:;
Maybe your post will again get some lurkers to unlurk.
Its just for that glorious feeling of belonging.
:)
Maybe they just do this to take up server memory. A mod should compare different IP's and see if they match up.
I don't post MUCH.. but I'm here...

Are you sure you are here? What if you weren't and really thought you were...? Maybe we aren't here. Maybe all of us are MEEEEEEEEE! Muuuuwaaaahaahaahaaaa

Hey, if you want to go through the 2000+ accounts and see if any of the IPs match, you can have my mod wand...

No, God, No!!!!!
To answer your question, take a look at the C# board. One of the biggest topics there is whether or not they should change it to the Java board. You tell me why people can't be bothered to post.
