Dear CS Powers.. MODs.. (78)
This is exactly what I mean..
I know (Ambrose) there are lots of people that just choose not too..
But there must be loads of people out that there that have no idea what a forum even IS.
I know I was on the internet for 5+ years before I ever went on one.. I had no idea what they were either.[/quote]
And the rest is history!

Ambrose2007:
I think you'll find that the number of people who actively participate in these forums won't change significantly regardless of how much CS pushes them. The existence of the forums have plenty of exposure on CS, so I believe the people who like this kind of interaction have and will continue to find their way here. My prediction is the number of participants won't change much...but even one or two new individuals can change the dialogue here for the better.

Having been here as long as I have...
I'd have to agree, wholeheartedly, with the above post made by Ambrose.

Nor me...... I was on the site for about 9 months before I ever knew that they existed. I only came across the Forums by sheer accident and because of a dilemma I found myself in I asked for advice.

Not really, what's sad about it? Just means that what you do see on the forums is just the tip of the iceberg. And I could really do without some of the online breakups/fights/stalkerettes/scorned lover/drama bs that goes on. That stuff needs to stay behind closed doors. I might mention my dates and such, but my love life ain't open fodder for public consumption. And the majority of people are even more private about such stuff than me. It's not sad, just a fact of life.

I found them after another CSer told me he was my guide when I first joined CS. Otherwise I would have never posted..
They are great and have helped me on numerous occasions this past year .

I found em right off, but didn't really participate that much. Well yeah I did some, cause I remember posting that I got a date , and that was not too long after I'd joined. And I figured out right off how to check people's posts on their profiles, to get an idea of their personality if they do go on here. But I don't hold it against anyone if they don't, it's just not everybody's cuppa. Some people aren't as ummm, verbose, in writing as most of us on here are. Doesn't mean they aren't smart or witty or charming in person. Ya just never know.
I do still think it's a good idea to maybe put it out there a little more obviously. It might not make that much difference, but it couldn't hurt!

Ambrose2007: Every discussion list craves "fresh blood," but the simple fact is that that not everyone - in fact, most people - don't enjoy participating much in forums. I've often wondered what the difference is between people who enjoy such participation and people who don't...the only answer I've arrived at is that some people enjoy interaction with a variety of individuals (gee, isn't that perceptive). Others just like to hear themselves talk.
I don't know, actually. It seems to me that the people who join these forums enjoy talking more than the people who don't. At least, it would seem that way given the large number of frustratingly vague and woefully short profiles I've come across here.
I think you're onto something in terms of forum participants finding other people entertaining. I know that the forums set this singles site apart for me immediately and I relished the idea of being a part of the site community and not just a face in the crowd. I liked the idea of seeing what kinds of people made up the site, and was thrilled to imagine that I could interact with you all and see something of the person behind the pixels.
Is there a correlation between forum enjoyment and RL sociability/openness? I, for one, am pretty personable, enjoy reading, and like learning from others. I consider myself introverted in that I tend to dislike large gatherings (more than twenty people or so) and I usually will not initiate conversations, but I have no problems talking once someone gets me started. Do the people who dislike forums find it difficult to socialize? Perhaps they don't see the point of interacting with people they'll probably never meet IRL.
I believe it is I who likes to hear myself talk.
P.S. I agree with the rest of your post, which I've snipped because that's all I have to say.

As for me, I really did not think I'd like them and was rather shy about putting my 2cents in BUT I do find it fun and the people whom have emailed me on the side are real nice and it is alot like when we were in middle school and the teachers were encouraging us to get pan pals from around the world.

We have recently held an event in Malta.....I took the initiative to email about 50 of the first profiles that came up as "most recently online", men and women, telling them about the event and to check the Forum thread......now here's the thing.....MOST of those people had NO idea what the forums were....I wrote back telling them they were missing 50 % of the power and fun of being here....and I had to give them a detailed description of how to access the Forums.....
This is exactly what I mean..
I know (Ambrose) there are lots of people that just choose not too..
But there must be loads of people out that there that have no idea what a forum even IS.
I know I was on the internet for 5+ years before I ever went on one.. I had no idea what they were either.
