Default you gotta dislike.....

People who join up on tech-forums and never post. I was looking through the member list and I see quite a few people who have never posted. I remember looking through a few months ago and the number was much higher but still.

Do you honestly think that's why?
I think that they come, they post an issue, they get resolution, and they go away. They then maybe remember this place if they have any further issues.
If they get no resolution, do you think they would come back? Would you?

Yeah, some users just come for answers, other users come for that, and the community, and the friendship, and to help others.

Do they delete 0 posters after a certain amount of time? Some forums delete you if you dont post at least 1 once in the first month. And then if u dont post for a certain amount of time then u get deleted as well.
Ur right when you say people only come for an answer and once they get one the dont come back unless they need more help.
