AI Thread Summary
The forum has nearly 4,000 members, but over half have not made a single post, reflecting a common trend in online communities where a small percentage of users are active. Discussions suggest that as membership increases, the number of regular contributors tends to decrease, with only a few quality posts being more valuable than numerous repetitive ones. Some members have been inactive for over seven months, raising questions about the presence of multiple accounts. The conversation highlights the challenge of engaging a larger member base in meaningful discussions. Overall, the dynamics of forum participation reveal a significant gap between membership numbers and active engagement.

Are there really almost 4000 members here? more than half the members haven't even made one post
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It's pretty much the norm in forums. For example, when you have 100,000 members there would be around 25-30 regular posters at any given time. It seems that the more members the less posters. But a few quality posts is better than a lot of nonsense posts. Or topics that just repeats itself over and over again.
 
true, but check out the members list some of them have been members for over a 7 months and haven't posted one thing.
 
People with 2-3 accounts maybe
