Due to excessive online activity in the past, more and more people nowadays are just checking forum-archives or updating their profiles/links and not bothering to post any more on even the big websites such as facebook etc.. It's a healthy thing to do but facebook et al are desperately trying to block this new phenomenon. Our own forum-archive is now so extensive, that any newbie can just search our archive of past messages and find a solution to their particular problem, without ever having to post.
