AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the presence of inactive members in the forum, noting that 110 members have never posted, while 80 have only made a single post and 40 have posted twice. The conversation touches on the common behavior of users who register but do not engage further, a trend observed across many forums. It is mentioned that posts in the General Board do not count towards post totals, which affects user engagement metrics. The dialogue also notes that some users prefer lurking and reading rather than actively participating. Additionally, there is a mention of the ability to update user post counts using a utility, suggesting that the forum's dynamics could be influenced by how post counts are managed.

did you know that there is a 110 members in this forum who have never posted even one single post.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
and about 80 who have only posted once
 
and about 40 who have only posted twice, just in case you cared.
 
And here you've managed to get 3 posts out of it!(not that they count on the General Board)
 
The true question is how many members have only posted thrice
 
I just joined and this is my second post so I'm helping/hurting the stats somehow . . . it's like this on every board like this. People register and then forget about the site for whatever reason.
 
Oh see the sad thing stephanie is that both your posts have been in the general discussion forum, so neither of them count. But be not dismayed you can still post up in the others and get out of the awful 0 post count category.
 
just posting to see how many times i have posted,
 
some people like to lurk and read more than talk a lot.

Not automaticly, but I can update users post counts using a utility.

The majority of those that have only a few posts are either:
People who post mainly in Gen. Disc.

or:
People who come to ask a specific question (like in homework help) and then disappear.
