Why are so many people reading these forums but very few writing anything?
Is it because
A Because people are shy or feel they have nothing to add
B Because the people reading it are disinfo Gov or data gathering agents.
C Because they cant type.
D Because those who have a lot to express are aware of the data gathering agents and prefer to keep hidden.
Please advise.
I feel the community here is rather slow and not dynamic enough.
Please prove me wrong.
Happy new year folks! Love emmanuel _________________ www.freecycle.org

What a good question Emmanuel, and one which I have also thought about.
I believe that it is not just applicable to this forum (look at your everyday experiences around you), but due to the vast majority of people who either don't have an opinion or who just keep their opinions to themselves - for whatever their personal reasons. Look around you, how many people voice their opinions to you??
I also believe that most people are afraid of criticism, rejection or correction, or perhaps just feel that their opinions are far too unimportant to voice, which is a great pity, as many many peoples' opinions are broadly in line with many others. |

I think it is not just our forum but true with all forums
The vast bulk of people seem happy to digest at that be it.

Yes it's a dramatic contrast: currently four named individuals on line and 291 guests. I'm glad it's being so widely read. |

No. They are merely taking 20 hours to actually log into this slow board. |

Perhaps another reason is that some people realise that many people just write or talk and actually dont get anything done. We all have limited number of hours and 911 truth may not be top of the agenda. (I do part time work so I can get on my PC more often than others). I log on regularly in order to see if there are any breakthroughs in 911 truth getting out, to get some ideas, and generally keep abreast of any new info.
Suppose its like buying a newspaper. Only a few reporters but many readers. The more readers the merrier . Can be too much rubbish to sort through before finding valuable posts so quality of post rather than quantity. _________________ JO911B.

Its simply that forum posting isnt for everyone. a ten to one ration views to posts is consistant on every forum on the net
But if people are reading the site, thats great, whatever they make of it, at least its being found worth reading _________________ Free your Self and Free the World |

Heck, well that cleared up my concerns. Still 200 people reading this to this point and not a murmour from them. Noone mentioned the agents, proveceturs or CIA cowboys among the readership?
What of them? are they interested in the likes of us? _________________ www.freecycle.org

I joined this site in may 06, and although I dont post very often (only 114 so far!) I log on almost everyday to read the threads. Maybe there are alot of people like me who want to keep up with whats happening in the 'real world' but dont post for whatever reason.
I'm not sure why I dont post more often, maybe its because I'm not as clued up as many people on this site, so I feel I have nothing to add.
Saying that I think that its very positive that 200+ are looking at this site, even if they dont post. |

That is total views so if you open the thread each time there is an update that is a view each time. And as previous correspondents have mentioned, many of us only post when we feel we have something to add. |

another reason is that - particularly if you don't believe in the "no planes at the wtc" malarky - you can end up being on the receiving end of all kinds of mindless abuse on this forum and beyond.
and you might even be named as a troll/shill/war criminal in the next video mashup by the likes of fred or nico haupt - so I can understand why some people wouldn't want to risk that kind of attention.
it's also a very good reason for not using your real name when you do post.
sad but true.... |

Moved to 'about this website'.
I would hazard a guess that the major criminals-at-large behind 7/7 and 9/11 have had their people on here. May have even surfed through themselves using proxy servers.

I sympathise with you gruts which is why I'm trying to get a bit tougher with some of the bs posters. This 'validated poster' scheme is the first step towards that - in future we could give validated posters more say in which user they think should be banned or have posts hidden.
Some of the most annoying ones are those who pretend to be enquiring but actually just ask cascades of moronic questions they could find answers to just by googling them up!
My policy would be to hide such posts but there are others who err more on the side of free speech.
In a way I'm caught in the middle here, as current overall editor it's suposed to be all down to me but I don't want to piss off longer in the tooth campaigners like Ian Neal who have a more libertarian approach so I compromise quite a lot...... then get a hard time for having 'sold out'.
