Why is this forum dead?

Why is this forum so dead? It's a great resource, and I'm sad to see it so underused.

I see threads here with 1,000 and close to 2,000 views but only 2 or 3 actual responses.

I hope people can start posting on here again, and start answering threads or at least commenting if they can't provide a solid answer. Comments of support can help keep this forum alive.

Who are all of these people who click on threads but don't respond? What do they get out of that? I wasn't expecting to so many people to click on this--44 views and 0 responses. I assumed everyone was gone. This only affirms my fears that people are lurking but not making an effort to keep this alive.

I get that you don't want to post on every thread you read, but if you like visiting a forum and it's dying, why not make an effort to post and keep it going?

Goodbye, thamnophis forum, it was good while it lasted.

Most people use Facebook now days. Some of us still pop on here to read old threads.

I dont really want to get a facebook account.
Its unfortunate they make it so hard to access information without one.

This forum and sSnakess has been disappointing for me.
I may have to break down and make a facebook account.

I hear you. It's unfortunate that these forums are dying out. I find them to be a better source of information than Facebook, and it archives threads well, which Facebook doesn't do at all.

This post alone has 475 views and only two comments from other forum members. I don't get it! Why are people so afraid to comment?

Good luck to you!
