Could it be search engine traffic? I've seen some huge bumps in lurking after being indexed on a search engine...

Whatever. What you said! Let's all post!

not everyone is ready to come out of the closet...
they are still living in fear...

you know i viewed this a good 8 times before i posted, and finally couldn't resist posting this just to let you know, lol.

anyway man, if you post a decent topic that people can actually engage in discussion with, then don't worry, give it some time, people will post.

Tell ya the truth, I'm surprised that this site is indexed by search engines.... off topic.

Many people worry about the anonymity of the internet.

Re: STOP lurking, START posting.

if you actually want to help, rather than just point this out, you could start by welcoming everyone that comes to the site when they make a post in the Introduce Yourself forum.

pretty sure stoners are indecisive by nature. I almost didn't post this.

Re: STOP lurking, START posting.

Lol...fishsticks you're hilarious...but true. Yeah....I agree with the stoners being afraid bout the anonymity of the internet. I know some of my pals know about this sight but are just too afraid to post or join. I got one to join, but I have more friends than one that smoke. Kinda sux that the gov has that much control over us. People don't realize that we still have rights of speech in America. I have tons of friends who know tons about growing/cultivating but wont give any internet sights a second glance b/c of fear. i say more voices more chance of a change!

Re: STOP lurking, START posting.

Just about everyone who has joined this site was a lurker at some point. I know I was. Some people just come to the site strictly for information and once they get what they want they dont come back. Alot of lurkers dont care about posting or contributing, because if they did they would join the community and do what they could for the cause. However not everybodies mind set is like ours, and they rather just sit back as an anonymity instead of commiting themselves to our cause. I have alot of opinions about the lurkers on our site. I believe half are minors and the other half dont have nothing to give to us, because if they did they would make it a point to do so. But honestly who cares about the lurkers? They cant bother you for they cant post, they cant do nothing but see what were saying. .....Just my two cents.

Sometimes I just have more to say. Also, I'm on self rationing until I get a new hook up.

Re: STOP lurking, START posting.

Holy crap... someone used a big shovel to dig this one back up!

Aside from paranoia, the other reason peeps don't post on a particular thread is that they don't groove w/it or have much to offer.
Then there are those who post on everything just to up their post count... that's the one that gets annoying!

So I guess I'm being annoying... cheers!
