Have you noticed on the forum page it lists the number of registered users? When I came on just now, there were 27878 registered users. Now grant it, some just come on to write on one of the role playing boards, others post on the Personals Page (Has anyone ever really looked at that?), and still others post five or ten times and then leave.
Then I look at the GB and notice that on most threads it seems that the same fifty users, give or take a few, post almost everything. That is not to say that MP, KillerMuffin, Sparky (who I still don't get), DCL, Myst, and all the rest are bad, but I often wonder where everyone else is.
A part of me thinks they have disappeared from boredom, but another believes that with the troll hunts (kinda like the Salem Witch Hunts in MHO), the ego clashes, and the tight knit community that is here, they feel left out and leave.
On another thread I heard someone, I can't remember who, so I won't bother picking a name, state that certain members of the board, like bratcat and Mistress, don't contribute much but stupid snuggles or what not. I found that amusing, as sometimes I don't think there to be anything wrong with those things, but perhaps I'm not the intellectual that this person is.
I believe there is an air of snobbery that exists here. Everyone wants you to be clever, witty, highly intelligent, and on occassion throw in a little flirting and when you are not, I believe you are looked down upon. How sad that we cannot all be such wonderfully clever people.
