Is it just me, or...

Is it just me, or are there a lot of people who joined the site >5 years ago that have less than 100 posts all the sudden creating topics and joining in discussions?

 

Are these long-term shills or people who lost their login/password for half a decade?

 

Seems strange to have created an account in 2007, and have only posted 25 times in 8 years, but all the sudden you have a major complaint you just have create a thread for in one of the forums...

You haven't created a topic in years.

I haven't noticed anything along those lines personally, but have to admit I'm not looking for them either. I don't post a lot personally, but do find the comments and threads interesting and informative...particularly in discussions concerning current trends with what's hot in Silver and Bronze Age comics. I also took part in the latest grading contest which was loads of fun. The discussions in the Water Cooler about what's happening in the markets are a bonus for me as I do invest in the market and am very interested in what's talked about.

 

So, I'm thinking while a lot of people who joined years ago may not post a lot, there's a strong possibility they're doing a lot of reading. As far as starting threads with complaints, if you've got something legitimate to complain about, you do have the right as a forum member to complain. And, as a forum member you can either take part in it or ignore it. What's the harm?

What seems strange to me is that there seems to be this unspoken competition to see who has the most posts.

Different strokes for different folks.

I blame the demise of the LTPC

I see people with low posts counts but old join dates showing up to sell books. But that's because I'm one of those schmos who spends more time in buy/sell than the rest of the boards.

I'm losing that competition, but I do feel the need to start a thread.

I thought I would miss the LTPC thread but I dont. I find that drama threads have a little more time to get fleshed out now instead of instantly turning into a meme/Gif blitz by the same people each time.

I don't pay attention to those types of posters. But some are obviously shills.

I know a person who has been on the forums for around 5 years and I doubt he has made any posts at all. He goes to my LCS and we will talk about the forum.

 

He has some really high end books, but when it comes to participating in the forum he prefers to lurk.

5 years with little posting, rookies.

There are just members that like to lurk the forums and not post. don't think there is anything wrong with that

The boards are my relaxation time, and something I only get to a few times a week... It doesn't always make sense to comment on something that's 12 or 24 or 48 hours old, or at least it often shouldn't...

 

Low post counts don't always mean lack of knowledge or lack of engagement.
