Low Forum Activity?

Speaking of Nitwits :

I did a search ( which I always do before starting a new thread), (or responding to a post ), and found the following info, the results of which were apparently not generally released to the RV Net membership, but I did find in by doing a Search , which if others had done, it might have eliminated the need for this topic being posted in the first place , but it's ok that it was because we were getting low on posts anyway.

It refers to a comprehensive survey done at this time last year regarding the same topic being discussed in this post : The perceived lower volume of posts on the RV Net forums at this time each year. The survey was sent out to over 4000 forum members and the results shown below were compiled from the answers received from all 6 members who responded. I hope that this will clear up the mystery once and for all, and eliminate the continued discussion of this topic each fall. The responses are from actual members who wish to remain anonymous.

Why are there fewer posts in the fall/ winter than in the summer


1. Most of the posts aren't visible in the winter because the snow is too deep on the fences

2 Old People don't trust young people and young people don't trust old people , middle age people are neutral on the whole subject

3. Most members post several new topics each day, but there is some kind of conspiracy going on , the moderators are deleting 99% of the posts before anyone can read them.

4 The spell check feature doesn't work , so if a word is misspellled, the entire post is vaporized by the system.

5. The proliferation of surveys like this one are causing members minds to vaporize.

6. TC'ers who have smaller rigs and limited space use smaller computers and see fewer posts visible on the screen.

7. Tc'ers who have larger rigs and more space use a larger font size on the screen , filling up the screen faster and allowing fewer posts to be seen.

8. If all the forum members were busy working on writing a post at the same time, nobody would be available to read them. Most members are being polite and waiting.

9. Post counts are down 432% due to the disappearance of Slack R Crusty

10. Members have more eyesight problems, making it painful for them to sit at a computer typing a post, it is believed to be caused by increased smoke pollution from campfires.


Hope this helps, Joe
