Just wondering if there is some reason or if this is normal.

People probably open the forums, and idly leave comp open to it.

I often log in then leave it open in another tab or window while I do other things. Until it ultimately logs me out, I probably show up as 'here'.

I think most people have lives and not everyone enjoys commenting on every damn thing that is posted online. Some might just come here to get updates and leave.

I tend to comment only if I have something constructive to add or if I feel the need to be a smart ass...

This applies to me as well.

the East Coast has gotten snow and at least three states declaring an angst ridden disaster area,
north carolina and virginia yesterday, and then massachusetts moved quickly before the full storm
really got to us around mid-nite by leaping on the bandwagon. GunnyFreedom down in N.C is saying
to us how bad it was getting yesterday. now that i can see some trees across the field near my house,
being still snugly home, i am happy most of the power outages from last night in my home state were
delt with by this morning's way less than usual rush hour. i do not envy people with beachfront property!!!

lol I laughed on the inside. Then on the outside. Then had to comment with me laughing.

Indeed - you know we're all thinkin' it ;D

Personally, I think it's just lurkers in general, people from the MSM, other website peeps, maybe some government peeps (for general information sake), et al.

I know I lurked for months before I started commenting.

Are you looking at thread position or read/post count? Thread position will change with the posted to thread moving to the top, just under sticky'd threads. The post count isn't updated right away - 30 min? an hour? I had a thread yesterday that said it had 1 view, yet 4 posts.

I was looking at the forums page and it shows how many viewers, at least that's what i always thought it was.

Anyway its probably just normaly like that, I am not usually online at that time, been gone awhile, moved and just getting my bearings.

Some folks may be kind of gun shy. They may have made a posting and then hostile comments follow theirs so, they just read and forget about commenting.

I've noticed a lot of hostility in these forums, and the farther after the presidential election, the worse it seems to get.

Ron Paul is a truthful guy. A lot of people cannot handle the truth.

The hostility comes from a variety of sources. The most important source we must defend against is the elite opposition who will lose big-time when we win our liberties. They are on these forums to shut us up because their secrets are fundamental to their power.

I lurk. I was lurking here for years before only recently starting to post. I posted more on the DP, because it was easier to leave a small window open and watch the moving forum topics. I fell out of the habit of posting after the election. Getting geared back up for '12, though.
