I just had a PM from a member who has done some threads and he was questioning why so few people respond to things he posts, and that other folks post. He noticed that a lot of people looked at his thread, but only a handful had anything to say. It left him feeling like it might not be worthwhile to do them or that they weren't appreciated.

I've been on this forum for a few years now, as well as some other forums, and as most of you know, if I bolt something on my car, I'm doing a thread. Sometimes I get some response, sometimes I don't. It happens on every forum, a few people seem to be vocal and the majority look but don't post.

No one is asking for everyone to jump on and be cheerleaders when someone does a thread, but it sure would be nice to hear from some of you who look but do not post often. It takes a fair amount of work to take pictures then type up what we have done, and most of us do it because we like to share our work with our friends, and maybe pass along something to those who might benefit. I learn so much when another member takes the time to do a thread, and I can't tell you how much I have learned over the years from people who really know their stuff and are willing to share.

This subject has come up on every forum I am on..........how do we get the silent majority more involved? All that I can say is that this forum is for all of us, and it would be very nice and beneficial for some of you who don't post much to every so often welcome a new member or just say you appreciate something another member has posted.

Do any of you other thread starters feel this way too?
