MetaPost comments and questions about the messageboards and other parts of EN World. If you have a problem, this is where to go. Moderator email addresses are posted here.
i was checking to see where i am on the list of posters (in the top 150 postcounts... i spend to much time here), and i decided to see how many low posters there were.
i discovered that there are 2,800 odd members who have never posted!!! obviously some of these people are brand new, but the oldest member who hasn't posted joined on 09-28-2002 which is sometime ago now. this means that a 5th of our members have never posted.
so the question is, why do they join? to vote in polls?

I create thousands of alt-IDs ahead of time, and then I use them to start flame wars, post trolls, etc. And then I swoop in with my real ID and ban them. It just makes me feel cool...

Don't forget that it has been stated that there are only four people that post here, which means I am you or is that you are me or I am the world or the needs of the many out-weight the few or the needs of the few out-weight the many or one for all and all for one.

Actually, the number of people with 0 posts is 3,517. My guess is that for a lot of those people, their emails ate their initial passwords, and they either re-registered or didn't bother to return.
1,395 people have 1 post. 2,717 have between 2 to 10 posts. And 3,687 have over 10 posts, with about a third of that number having over 100.
In comparison to how many people post, 1437 registered users have actually visited the message boards in the last 24 hours. That doesn't even count lurkers, who typically outnumber Members significantly. Neat, eh?

I rarely post here (it's not really any fun when you don't roleplay anymore), but Eric dragged me back from Nutkinland for another hurrah.
So. Um...
Hurrah!

Even if they don't post, they may be lurkers that simply like the option of changing their viewing preferences (i.e. more threads per screen, fewer posts per screen, etc. etc.).
As long as no one is unnecessarily eating up server memory, then it's all good
