Participation Inequality: Encouraging More Users to Contribute


http://www.useit.com/alertbox/participa ... ality.html

All well & good, but exactly what are we trying to say here?...............

obviously some anxiety is present. this subject has come up many times already.
having an open forum helps keep sources alive.
any specific area that needs to be addressed?
perhaps an automatic deletion if a user has been inactive for some time with out a post. (a year maybe)

i for one don't pay leechers to much attention, but it would be nice to have more participation.

by the numbers perhaps it is normal. i wouldn't be here if the rest was really the norm.

Folks, I don't talk about posts. People may or may not make a contribution as they like. I'm talking about visits. We have hundreds of members who registered and never had a look on the board! And thousands of members who did not visit the board for years! I think one or two years without visit should be enough to delete someone. He can register again anyway, if he just had to serve a term in jail...

Some people may have registered accidently just to learn that they are able to lurk without signing in. They may be in fact very busy lurkers LOL


Great to know that any people not signed in for a while are serving... LOL

Chill out, it was meant as an example. I know very well there are many possible reasons. Couldn't check in from November 07 'til February 08 myself. Not imprisoned, but hospitalized after a heart stroke.

Sad to hear you was so ill - I hope so that you are well again. Please take care of yourself.
