Why?

*Duke* · 03-27-2003, 12:08 AM

Why do people join a forum and never post? I mean this just drives me crazy. If your going to join atleast make one post. I just checked and there are 193 members at this forum who have never posted a single time. Maybe its just me but does this drive anybody else crazy?

*Duke* · 03-27-2003, 12:18 AM

Although maybe 193 non posters is on purpose. I was just thinking about it and thats exactly how many eps of the old cartoon there was.

Eh, I can't really judge, I'm on this other forum, but I rarely ever post. I guess people sign up just in case they do ever wish to post something. But since they never post, we'll never know. *makes spooky X-Files type music*

The truh is out there... I can't understand it either. Nor can I unerstand lurkers. What fun do they get reading other people's discussion?

Rarely is a big difference from never

Hmm.. That might be a good reason...

I lurk at a Transformers forum. It's really just to get info about new toys, the cartoons, characters, etc. It's cool, cuz I get to see everyone's opinons and theories in one place, instead of having to search the net for lots of sites.
I don't post mainly because I'm a TF newbie, and haven't seen that many eps. Also don't have as big an interest in the toys as everyone else. That, and I wouldn't really contribute much to the conversation.

Wel I coulnd't just lurk around... If the topic is intresting, I usually want to join the discussion and im not afraid of posting my opinions[As most of you have probably noticed

]

It doesn't really bother me much, double posting does though

Strangely enough, i was asking myself this same question while finishing getting ready to school
