I resent that statement due to the fact that I am also bored.

It happens on every forum. The Lex for example has over 1400 members, most of which have never made a post on the forum. We are one of the most active communities in NS. Again, Lex is a good example....1400 members, but only a maximum of 10 actually post nowadays.

Unfortunately, you do get those people who sign up, and then forget about the account. Its always going to happen unfortunately.

Its funny because when he's bored, the only thing that he can do is surf the "Members" page of the forums.

You'd think they'd auto-delete after a couple months though.... ah well, at least those that do post, usually post well so that keeps me coming back to the games forum  :clap:

Forums generally delete those who haven't logged in for a certain amount of time.  Logging in constitutes activity, even if they never post.

You know, I've been drifting around various forums and they all seem to be filled with tumbleweeds this last few days.  So it isn't just here.  Maybe everyone has spring fever?

I'm just bored, bored, bored.  Very bored, even.  So bored that I even thought about starting a blog.  But that would be completely pointless, considering I have nothing to say.  Ah well.  Forums cycle.  Things will pick up again.

/me stalks.
 
Then again, with my post count, no one buys that.

Unless that's just part of some fiendishly clever scheme where posting frequently is meant to make us THINK you're not stalking while you really are... ooooooh a mystery...

Things to do when you're really really bored

Surf the TV channels even though you already know there's nothing good on.
Go look in the fridge to see if there's anything interesting in there.
Drift aimlessly around empty forums hoping someone will post something.
Snack on junk food.
Take a short nap.  Then wake up and try to remember what you did with the remote.
Get something to drink and check the fridge again just in case something new has magically appeared.
Cycle through the forums again, commenting on the fact that nobody's posting.
Wiki random things, just to see what it comes up with. 
Trim your fingernails while trying to think of something to do.
Have some more junk food.
Make up a list of stuff to do when you're really really bored.
Post it and then check the forums again in the hopes that somebody posted something interesting in the meantime.
Ponder another nap while also wondering what the heck you did with that remote.

Keep checking.  You never know when something will mutate.  Patience is key.
