I have noticed that there a lot of members on the list that do not post and some who have been silent for years. Are they not sent to the memory hole after a time? Also I noticed that very few members post--and most of those are the same people all the time?WallyScoutAethelingDonald BakerPhidippidesskiguyet. al I have not rememberedThese seem to form the core. Is there a reason for this or is it a anomoly?
There are a few reasons. Some people might have signed up to ask a specific question or add a thought to a particular thread. Others got interested for a bit and then their interest waned. Some people arranged with me to swap posts on a per-post basis with their forums. Some might be spammer robots, though I have tried to delete accounts which are clearly those.Naturally I would like more people to join and to post. But at the same time, it is fairly intimate here right now, isn't it? ;D
Anxiety and feelings (of surprise, disorientation, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) might fell when people have to operate within a different and unknown culture such as one may encounter. It's called culture shock. I've almost thought to give up but I didn't coz I wanted to share my “Old-continent” opinion as well and … shake the tree sometimes ! ::)

Dont quit, you are one of the most enjoyable people on this forum to debate and argue with. It is no fun to always talk to like-minded people. The conversation gets sterile without different perspectives. That is why I like both you and now willyD, you both keep the place interesting. 🙂
Hey, maybe I should send out one of those forum-wide newsletters again to get people interested again. People like stumpfoot? Where is that guy, anyway? Oh, and I could always bring Grey Mouser back…that would spice it up a bit. ;D

I don't have issues with GM. He hits the sauce every now and then which makes for fun posts, but other than that, he's just incoherent. 🙂
