Why do we have so many registered users whit ZERO Posts?

[B Schein]

Now I know I am not one to post allot, but have been here ever since the very begging at the old board. I was just checking out the member list and buy just glancing at the pages I would say probably at least half the registered users here have no post. I look at it like this I only say something when I know what I am talking about. I don’t know that much so I don’t say that much, but I find it hard to believe that all these registered uses out there have nothing good to say or any helpful input. If you just register to see our pictures shame on you. If you have time to read what we have problems with or accomplished you should find the time to respond to calls for help or input. I am not looking for ever one to put up a smiley at ever post but I believe there is a lot of knowledge people out there just sitting on there hands. I like to learn from some other peoples experiences. Too the few people that can always be counted on for a response thank you. I think its time for some of our other people to start contributing too.

i find that i have a lot of those too on my site as well, i couldnt answer that question for you. Many reasons for people not posting, the most common response is "i never got an email to confirm my account" which usually means their spam blocker is up WAAYYY too high or they typed in the wrong email address... 2nd most common answer is "i forgot my password"

Hope this helps, i've been dealing with this issue for nearly 6 years!

They found out the Lateral-G discount at Jegs, DSE and Summit that Scott promised did not come through.

Or was it the Chicks.....

I guess the lurkers like looking at pictures.Which you cannot do in the forums unless your a member.Thats my guess.

It may be that once they do post they will have a registered date of a long time ago.

Would like to post more, but I spend 95% of my free time working on my car and about 5% trying to keep up with the latest on these forums.

It cause you guys are way to intimidating!!! It takes years to build up courage just to register...give them a few more to start posting!


I think the viewing the pictures idea is probably a good guess.

Brian, that's a great post.

The post counts seem to go in cycles - some days are busy and some are slow. We get A LOT of traffic here but the Forums don't always show that.

Getting to your question, I believe you guys are right, they register to view the attachments. That's fine, it's all part of it.
