Guests outnumbering the members on the boards - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dlemond · 07-10-2003, 04:09 PM

I just checked and there were 108 members online and 144 guests.

I find that odd.
Is it just me?

I also find that odd, but wait until later on tonight, the members will heavily outnumber the guests.

Actually, quite often the guests outnumber the members. I've always wondered what they are all doing. I feel like we're being watched. It's a little like being on stage.

That's normal. Most of the people who register tend to just lurk around for awhile and some of them never post, which I'm not sure why because it kind of defeats the purpose of registering. However, there are also those who just come here to read the posts and don't register too. This is common amongst most messageboards. I know I'm a member of one that has over 2,000 registered members but only maybe less than a quarter of them actually ever post and this includes since the inception of the board. But, there's always the chance someone could post a "Lurkers Welcome" type-thread you could do.

I can't understand why someone would register, and never post. When I registered, I couldn't wait to hike up my post count!

When I havent been here in awhile, I come back, and I'm a guest til I sign in, which I'm too lazy to do. They could just be a bunch of lazy members like me! lol
