Disappointment...

You know what I don't like? How we sometimes get like 3 new members a day, and yet, they make few to no posts. I get my hopes up, and they fail to do anything. What I also dislike is how they sometimes make one random topic, and never say a thing afterwards. Maybe this has something to do with the lack of steady new, active members.

I notice one or two here or there. Of course, 'tis a common thing of any forum. Though I don't really know of a way to do anything about it.

Some of those 'new members' are also bots. Look at their emails in their profilesk, if it ends .ru, then it's a russian bot, there are LOADS of those.

They're bots, that's why they never post. We've got a security measure which sends an email to the new user with a random password they can use to log in, which can be changed later. However, since they're bots, they don't know what the password is, and thus never sign in, and thus never post. It is disappointing, though, not having many new, active members.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

most likely, but hey, you never know, some people might not get their activation key right away, like in a day or so, and they forget they were members here. and probably ignore the mail, who knows.

Hi no Seijin

I'd rather be a member of a forum with a few somewhat actives members that follow the rules and use proper grammar then a member of a forum with foul-mouthed spamlies posting at a mile a minute using the worst grammar ever.  It's all about perspective.

try 4chan

That place is insane, they post literally at a mile a mnute. and a lot of the posts are like, nothing more but stuff repeated over and over again.

Zoratunic

Still, I would like some more new, promising members. I should go through the member list and see who are actually active, and make a list of them.

darkphantomime

DId that once, came up with around fifty.

Zoratunic

I just started, It'll probably take me a while, since I'm going swimming right now.

Some of these 'inactive' members are active though, they just don't post. Such as PORNOMOVIES and SexyChick.

How's SexyChick doing? I haven't heard anything about her recently. :D

darkphantomime

They haven't been disabled. Otherwise, how could they still be showing on the member's list?
