Lurkers... what stops YOU from posting?

Ok... I've been doing some looking at the members and wondering why it is I always see the same people posting all the time.

The board has over 6000 members, and we have somewhere in the range of 7-10 new users PER DAY.

So why are you people not joining in? Why create an account if you aren't going to participate? Do we scare you?

I understand that of the 6000 members there's a few that were once regulars but now have no interest in audio, but you'd figure some of the new members would take their place in posting?

Everyone is to pompous and its hard to get a straight answer on this forum.it somehow raises a another topic and fights and verbal bashing its not enough to lock it but it just lets you know its there.

Carma is out there personlly i see alot of noobies posting or something slmple question but everyone laughs or somekind of BS.

Everyone has there point of views and this is mine.

I'm as new to this forum as I am to Car Audio in general (been at it 8 weeks now), so I limit my posting due to the fact that I'm nowhere near a high end specialist, I just know a few basics, but the community side of the site does make me want to get more involved in the scene, I'll probably start going to comps and shows now even though I'm never going to go anywhere near building a competition system.

As for this forum (I've been a member/mod on a few now), it is prety active and seems to have a fairly good community feel to it.
Aswell all this bashing and name calling thats been getting on peoples nerves really isn't that bad on this forum. It's definatly there, but at least there is a more info then imaturity.

I don't know much about car audio so I don't try to help out cause I don't want to give a wrong answer. I'm also done building my system so I have no more questions. I just post if the thread about something unique that I have done.

I see the same thing happen at a lot of other forums I visit. A lot of new people join throughout the week and they have 1 or 0 posts and rarely post. I'm not sure what the point of joining a board is if you're not going to post.

I use to know 90% of the board, every one had a chemistry and you knew where you stood and how much you could get away with everyone.. not so much any longer.. I only posted cause jordy started this one.

The board has take away the very reason we are all here, I can not promote my line or anyone else with out flack, The point of the board to me was to show our stuff and answer questions on it.. what the hell do I know about pioneer?
