Not a real rant more puzzlement!
How often do we see "Hi all i'm blah blah new to the forum hello" to be followed by lots of "welcome to the forum posts" by various courteous members
Then to be never seen again
Do we scare everyone off

[stevewool]

depends on who says hello first

I've given up wondering Les.
It happens so often.
I think you'd also be totally gobsmacked at the number who actually go to the trouble of registering, and completing a good profile and then.............nothing, not even a first post.
Many many more than those one-post-wonders.

Good rant anyway Les.

I've always thought it one of lifes great mysteries too Les

[Iani]

It's my fault, I bombard them with mails offering to sell them fake rolex, and 'enhancing" medications

Nice rant Les, but the real reason they dont come back is probably because i have already banned them

[grahame 1]

I'm new. And i think most new people use the forum for the excellent imformation, help and advice. Although they don't post i expect they all read the threads as i do. From my point of view i only reply if i think i have anything to offer

I guess it depends on what people are looking for really. Some people are just shy and read and maybe find the answer to their questions without having to post. But a few thank you's are nice to hear from those who have been helped by the information here.

[imagine]

this is without doubt a great site and what makes it so is the great members here
for the friendliness and wealth of information that they gladly take time to share with and help others no matter what , the time and effort of our moderators and of course the boss
it doesn't realy matter about the one time wonders, iv no doubt they go away with a wealth of information too

Sometimes you'll find they register to get rid of those extra annoying ads all the 'guests' see

[MissAna]

i don't know about you guys but i always welcome new members.
maybe the reason they just seem to disappear is because after they get the answer they needed, they don't bother to log-in back again
