Oroki Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Not sure if this has been discussed before, but whatever, just wondering... Well do I remember how I used to check out this forum as a kid, but rarely posting anything. I couldn't be the only one. Doesn't it statistically make sense that we all know the people who post everywhere all the time, while there just might also be lots and lots of more passive members who may simply want to simply read, pretty much like guests? I wouldn't know, they're generally hard to see. So, does this apply to anyone? Are there any of those "secret" members willing to show up? : ) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballom Nom Nom Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 *Raises hand* My inactivity in posting has only been exacerbated by the demands of college. Look at my post count. Four years ago it as, what, 7500 or so? Now I've posted about 100 times in the last two years. ~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I am kinda half expecting a lot of ironic posts by people who actually show up everywhere. People who choose to stay quiet will generally stay quiet, after all.

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Oh, I'm sure, given there's nothing to really talk about anymore. I generally just read whatever humdrum thread pops up, but I don't often have any comments to add.

Dorek Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Meeeee. I don't read super frequently, but I check in every now and again. I used to try and muster a post when I would make these check-ins, but not so much these days. I don't read as guest, though, I try and stay signed in.

Kopekemaster Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I've posted an uncommon amount the past few days, but I do that a good amount of the time.

25K Now! Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 There's definitely going to be a lot of those (uh, not me though, seeing that I post constantly), especially with the lack of real things to talk about these days. Sometimes a thread piques their interest or what-not, and they post once or twice, and disappear again. I'd probably be that if I didn't have the RPG.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I don't post as much as I used to. Part of the reason for this is that I don't have as much free time anymore because of my job. The other reason is that there aren't as many topics around that I'm interested in posting in. A lot of times I find myself reading a topic to see what its about, then I just move on to something else. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

I Exist Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I am one of these. Been around on that forum for 8 years or so and I'm not a known member. I used to post in the comic section back in the days. I'm mostly active on the Market Place, but I read a lot in the other sections.

Sir Kohran Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) It should come as no great surprise that I don't post as much as when Bionicle was active. However, discussion of the line continues even now, and other interesting topics come up from time to time, so I just about avoid lurking. It's frustrating not being able to participate in discussion of current lines. Sometimes I wish I followed Hero Factory just to have more to discuss on here.

Paleo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 "Present" I've never been that active here, and when I retired it didn't exactly do my activity any good. I've kinda migrated over to Flickr, but I'm not really that active there either. If I had some more free time I might end up posting more, but in the past I've jut ended up lurking. Hopefully I'll have a few creations to post soon. Quote Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believe victims Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 i've never been the busiest bee when it comes to posting on this forum, but lately i've adopted an attitude of refraining from posting unless i have something witty and/or moderately scathing to post, which helps keep me from making a fool of myself as often as i used to.

emily Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I've been a member since 2006, and have visited the site on a practically daily basis since 2004, and I've not even broken 1,000 posts yet. I'm absurdly introverted. It doesn't help that I'm only really interested in the first three years of BIONICLE, and older LEGO themes. There isn't, understandably, much discussion regarding topics so far gone.

Taria Pakari Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Aye. Don't really post much because the forum doesn't hold my interest long anymore, so I lurk for a while, post a few times and then go back to my other hangouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underscore Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) I've become a tad more active in the past couple of months, but back in July-January, I never posted except in G&T, which is the only place I could (and still can) be considered completely active.

FrozenFlash Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I pretty much just read now since I'm really inactive now. I was much more active before but now I'm a bit too lazy to think of what to post to bother now and also because I'm kind of afraid that if I say something wrong, I'm going to look like a complete fool.

dotcom Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yeah, I'm definitely a lurker. Read a lot everywhere, speak up pretty rarely. (unless it's the anime thread in COT, because I've guess I've become a massive weeb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vahkiti Master of Time Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 In quite an ironic turn of events, I am actually one of those people now. I guess you could say I took some time off the forum for about 5 years. When I came back recently, I found that I never really have much of anything to say. I generally don't post on a topic unless I have something significant to contribute. Quote Admin of Mask Of Destiny. Founder of The Beaverhouse, Litestone, & 810NICLE Day.

Lyichir Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I post somewhat frequently but perhaps not as much as I could. It's not really worthwhile to post in a topic if you have a brother who shares many of your perspectives but tends to express his opinions so much better. So oftentimes if he posts a reply to someone, I've missed my chance. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
