When I look at the statistics for the site I see that the situation is this:
Total member accounts: 105,001
Members who have posted: 52,648
Percentage of members who have posted: 50 %
So the question is, why have 50,000 people created accounts but not ever posted? And surely that takes up a considerable amount of space on the
server, and increases the server strain?
Saw this under My ATS and thought I'd comment.
I've lurked here for a long while before creating an account.
The major problem is that while there is an effort to maintain free speech and open debate amongst members, flaming and slamming other people's
opinions are a little too prevalent.
As soon as someone posts something there is at least one other member who tells them they are stupid, ignorant or something similar. And usually that
person is met by another who says the same about them.
It makes it too personal for some people to deal with and I can understand reluctance to post anything.
I like to ask questions so I've opted to make an account so I can do just that. Ask for members opinions and let them answer. Throw out hypothetical
situations and note the response. Plus with an account I can follow threads easier.
