I've noticed that we have over 1500 members but still only a handful post ......what is wrong with the picture here ?????? Do people just like to read and not reply back to a thread or a post ? Are people around here that dam lazy ? It just bothered me .......:mad: and i had to let it out

I know!! Lately I've been wondering if those registering are actually individual people and not someone just registering different names. That would be pretty stupid!

I noticed it too. I post quite often and I give my feedback on pretty much everything here so I'm doing my part. There should be some filter to get rid of people who don't have more than a certain number of posts. I think that there are only 200 actual members here that come at least 3 times a week.

Just to add to what Porsche said. I don't think it should look into how many posts. I think a better suggestion would be in the profile section. Seeing as how everyone who registers generally tends to put something as opposed to nothing. Even a screen name could be considered an active member. I know some people don't want to fill out that section but, then the posts could come into play.

I was thinking that some of them might not be as handy with their PC's as most of us seem to be . . . mayhaps they are feeling intimidated . . .

Ok, guys let me explain it :)

All the new members you see are actually "real people" because I can see their IPs, and they're all different. The same goes to emails, but they can be faked, IPs cant be ;)

ALL FORUMS IN GENERAL have many people with 0 posts, AF is just not an exception, and I actually think we have an above average % of people who have actually posted comparing to other message boards on the web.

Any questions? :)

If people want to only post once a month or less, let them. Maybe they dont feel like they have anything to contribute. As soon as there are "posting" requirements to being able to come here, the whole board will collapse in on itself like a black hole.

Igor is right. You go to any forum and you'll find that there are far more members than there are avtive posters. People just join up when they find a forum and then either forget about it or don't bother coming back. I've done it myself.

Its proably better than a load of idiots coming in here posting shit.

There are lots of members who seem to stay in their prefered forum. The Infinity forum must take up loads of them.

As you said it's a shame that with so many here it only seems to be a few that post.
If you look around there are lots of just one post people who must just log in with one question and either forget or dont come back.

As with the infinity/G20 forum...this is a good example where someone only comes to ask one question, gets a answer and does not come back for some reason.

Myself....i love it here, fills in my day and i get to meet all sorts of people :rolleyes: ...lol.

But i guess its hard to try and police and get people to stay....at least people find it i guess on the WWW there must be plenty of others ??

I'm fairly new here, aug 1st i think, and i'm gonna agree with you. Since ive started posting you guys and a few other people are the only ones i ever see with posts. I thought myself that i would come here every so often read something and ocasionally post, and just stick to my j-body site. But i find myself here everyday 3-4 times a day even. I've definately made a switch. I agree with primera man, i've already met some really cool people here and hope to meet more. great place to be i say.:cool:

aawwwww......:rolleyes:

so sweet.. yea, staying hip and coming back is what its all about -- > :ylsuper

Hmm, not everyone is like PrimeraMan! :D

I spend quite a bit of time on these forums, and the number of posts, IMO, is "quite adaquate" for the day's reading :)

Sharon,why don't you register on your own. That would be fun!:)

yea yea!
[crowd cheering]
Woohooo! Register now!

:dogpile:

My story is that I read a whole lot more than I post. I enjoy finding out things that I don't know but you do. When I can contribute, I try to. If you can check people to find out how often they look at the board, you would find that I 'm here almost every day, even though it's a short time.

One thing nice about this place is that I don't see as much fighting as I see on some of the other boards. There certainly spirited disagreement, but less of the hatred directed at specific users because of their views (as narrowminded as they may be).

It would be good but when Warren has finshed i sometimes carry on at times after he's gone to work. Saves a lot of time logging in etc, plus you never know which one of us are here so you all have to be nice :) :) :)

Out of 1649 posts your account has, how many do you think were posted by you and not Warren?

Those 2 are shocking when they get on here together.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: ....but never mind it keeps him happy and stops him spending so much time and money on his car:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Wait, isn't spending money and time on your car a good thing? BTw, I can't tell the difference between you two at all.

Confusing. I'm guessing Mr Primera does the mother-in-law jokes. :D

LOL LK!

Well, sorry, but my wife hates you, igor. :( Don't worry, though, I've made her hate the game Gran Turismo, the Sony PlayStation, all car magazines, and automobiles in general. :rolleyes: I guess I get carried away.

What about his wee cars? That's quite a waste of time and money, too! Especially as good as he makes them! :D

im brand new here, most of the time i post when i feel like i have something to add. but most of the time i think that whatever i say is already known by everyone. eh, ill get over it

Welcome to AF, by the way. Been lurking long?

na, i just found this place like a week ago. i was lookin through the forums for a couple days before i registered. and i have to say that ive already learned a bit from this place. great site here. lots of forums, lots of information.... not alot of different people posting. more people need to give oppinons. just my opinion:)

These dudes rock, even if some are post/pic whores ;) You'll learn all sorts of info here--maybe even some you didn't want to :hehe:

Anyways, Hope you like it here :)

Whats funny, is the creator of this thread is rarely around anymore. ;)

STAB.........STAB..............STAB..STAB!


:D :D

Ive been registered since April, but only started posting actively about a month ago. So ya, I used to just sit around and read the posts, but thats not any fun.

Also, AF seemed pretty quiet back in April and at the time I was pretty much only interested in the Mazda forums, (I don't own a Mazda anymore and AF is way bigger now, but the Mazda forum is still as silent as a mouse.) anyways, now my addiction to this place is growing by the day, and its impossible to keep myself from replying to some of the hilarious shi* thats posted on AF.

Basically what im trying to say is beware of me. soon you will all be saying "wow that hummerman is annoying, hes posting almost constantly":D
