Currently we do not delete members. At some point it may become necessary but even at that point lurkers are, for database purposes, considered active when they visit the site. Posting is not a requirement to remain active in the database.


I agree whole heartedly that too many people look and do not participate. I do what I can by trying to start threads that are easy to join in on. I know that many members, especially Sharni, go out of their way to make all members who post feel welcome. I am honestly interested in what everyone has to say. I find all topics worthy of discussion. I wish that more members would take the initiative to start threads.

Remember though, just because a thread does not get alot of replies does not mean people are not interested. I would say a thread like bm4all mentioned, with 500 views, shows people are very interested but may not have thought enough about it before to feel ready to reply. That is why digging through old threads can be fun.
