    Why do so many people read the board

    and not post a fucking thing all day?

    You see the same people on here with upwards a few thousands posts who appear to spend a large part of their day viewing threads then posting fuck all, and have done for the past year or so.

    It's no wonder it's so dry on here if people are waiting for others to post stuff first.

    What is it, pure lazyness? It's not as if yous appear to be doing much else with your spare time.

    People probably leave it on in the background, so they're not actually sitting looking at the board all day, just logged in.

    I read the board about once a day but just post selectively when I have something relevant and useful to say rather than polluting every thread with my shit banter like some people do.

    I think I've had every possible conversation on a message board.

    There is just nothing left to say. :(

    i read a few threads when i get back from work, but dont post anywhere near as much as i used to.

    sometimes its down to a thread having the same old stuff i've read and posted in countless times, other times i just dont want to post.

    im a reader not a shouter now ;)

    I think this thread is the answer. A post about why people post :(

    It's a bit like checking the fridge everytime you go into the kitchen, even though you know there's fuck all to eat inside.

    I check in at random times just to see if your still logged in & you always are. If I want to chat to anyone I send them a PM.

    Also when the board was the Promiseboard most of the people had that in common & the place had something to focus on/ revolve around. Thats gone now.
