    Allot of people read our posts, and only a small portion replies, who are all these other people?, are they just interested in what we have to say? :p

    Why would I need to post when I have nothing to contribute with?

    Wow, dude.

    Are you trying to break the record for most threads posted? :D

    Anyways, like nat said, Most of the RomU members might not have anything noteworthy to say.
    Unless you want trolls and flamers dropping by... Then, just wait.

    It's like fishing, you just have to wait for something to bite.

    They are called lurkers. Basically people who leech to get roms and what not. Without them though the site would prolly
    die because there would be no ad traffic.

    Natewlie you arent a lurker because you actually post lol.

    I tend to have a habit of lurking. I try to post sometimes but I'm either too lazy to type, don't care about the topic or, like in the debates, intimidated by all of the lengthy and thought provoking posts to share what might sound like a feeble argument.

    The reason they read is just to either see what the topic is about and also to check and see if anything is worth replying to.

    My post was moreso towards that some people post for the sake of posting. Having a post that just says 'I agree', just quoting someone with no sort of explanation, or having a useless one word post without explaining yourself is fucking stupid. If you want to post, atleast contribute to the topic. Doing any of the things I've mentioned is a waste of space and redundant.

    Same here I have been lurking quite a few threads without actually posting. But i think I will try to actually start giving my opinion.
