Why are there 50 people viewing but nobody posting?

I never lurk, period.

Some folks may however, because, let's face it...the threads are rather intimidating for the neophyte. Between the arguing, the flirting, the 'in' jokes, the rapier-like wit exchanges, the blatant assholery, the poo-flinging and the literary discussions; it's the deep end of the pool for those just learning to swim.

Personally, I always welcome newbies. They provide additional perspectives and dimensions to the thread discussions.

Probaly because they get tired of being dogged out by the self proclaimed cool people on here

More likely they are tired of the political crap.

Mostly I "lurk" because there's no thread I want to post in. When something happens that I want to be a part of, I stop lurking and start talking. Otherwise I just keep looking.

To lurk, perchance to post . . .
To post, perchance be trolled, aye, there's the rub!
Whether it is better in the mind
To be defamed in public
Or in keeping one's own counsel
Forever be
unknown.

That should be sent around the Globe.

And they are people that post for us and far better so ...

Thank you TE and Little Witch.
