    I'm always open to being proven wrong by somebody who knows more about the situation then I do. ;) There's been more than a few instances of someone not showing up after getting a harsh reply. That one just happened to stand out in my mind. On the surface, it certainly looked like Warlock shyed away.

    IMO I do not think very many people get chased away by personal comments. They get intimidated by the general content. Especially if they're new to the game. I used a different board for SoA. Didn't know about this one. Didn't join. Got my infoi and out. Life, love, death etc. of course play a big part.

    I addressed a similar question some time ago. Simply because they don't feel the need, they think they have better things to do, they get bored with SP after a few posts...most people cant keep their interest in something like this for very long. So instead they go and play games or talk on instant messenger programs.
    I voted because people are lazy, that basically sums it up, along with, of course, the obvious issues like double accounts, etc.

    Maybe they register and when they want to press to "Post" button, they will remember that our wit is as dull as Tal's sword, and feel better not replying :p

    Some people have time only to post once or twice in a month; does anyone here think that they are "regulars?" No.

    I have been here for one and half year and I love this place. So, I can't understand people, who just register for the sake of it and don't post.

    Tal, deleting all the double accounts and zero posts is a good idea. Maybe you delete all those acoounts, that have been unused for a year as well?

    Just a suggestion.

    :D
