Mystery of the silent members

[temi]

I have often wondered why we seem to have quite a significant number of members who just register at the forum but never post or join in any of the discussion, perhaps members like this can enlighten me as to what we can do to get them to participate, we would like to have you as active members of this forum

for me it's time, it's hard to say for others. There are so many websites out there, they obviously don't know how valuable the information is that they can get here.

Thanks for that Pen, I just wondered why they bother registering and not that the next step of introducing themselves and interact

I've had members register because they thought it would improve their chances of reciprocal links. The rest of the members who register and never post is a mystery to me, but it happens to all websites. I really can't figure out why people register and never post, it makes no sense to me.

I can say that I've personally registered at sites for various reasons and posted once or twice and never again. It was due to many different reasons but mostly because the community was either ignorant or unhelpful in nature.
