Wangming has asked me to keep in motion the holy phrase that kills the rabbit. Quote it and put it in your signature!

CH has more than 40 registers a day and 80% of them register, post one question and leave for good, forgetting their post. 50% of those people remember their posts however and reply back in that single topic. 10% of those people that replied their topics also post inother topics.

Summing up, a lot of people register and forget

"Run the kill" had disappeared last time I looked.
He does have his email address shown though, anyone feel like mailing him and asking him back?

That's actually a good idea. Anyone who hasnt been online for 6 months and has more than say 10 posts and has their email address there, we can ask them back.

Most of those will have already sorted their original problem though.
I was just joking, although you could email him if you want.

This is pretty accurate, many people that come to Computer Hope and the forums are looking for a single answer and not to participate on the forums. Often they'll register in hopes of just getting the question answered and often may not return because (I assume) they've found it elsewhere and/or were able to solve it themselves.

I think many of them want "instant gratification", ignoring the fact that this is strictly a volunteer endeavor.

Yes. I don't know why I keep hitting that button. :(

EDIT: It's because it's next to the navigation links. Computer Hope Forum  >>  Other  >>  Other  >>  Off topic  >>

Well, the Sticky button's next to the Off Topic link.

I'd say you could lessen that amount by allowing people to surf the forum as a guest, but not respond as a guest? Unless it already works that way...

If you let guests be able to post or start topic, there is a high risk for spam spam spam.....

Guests are free to browse, I think it's good for any forum to at least allow that. Especially if you want search engines to index your forum. However, they cannot post. I originally wanted guests to do both and did initially do that, however lots of spam and trouble makers so no guest posting.

I've thought about creating one section of the board where guests can post, but keep talking myself out of it. ;)

Guest posting has its good sides, but the worst side is:
SPAM Bots that can get past  the CAPATCHA images. (Obscufated images)

Then, there are abusers, who post and post.
Then there are the people that dont understand that its not an email system, but truth be told, a lot of the registered users think of it that way.

But you get more posts, and more users involved, and more people with a :) face
(but then again, the SPAM bots came with  ;D 's on their non-existent faces...)

Being as literal as possible:
The more users, the busier I keep myself...

It is such a PAIN to register to websites. You always have to worry about Spam, and about keeping track of it, and logging in. Some people just come here once, and then leave. You could not just enable it on one newly created board, since it would not be categorized. (And there is enough non categorized problems already. It could be a guest board, and then if it gets approved, it can be moved out.)

There are LOT of things to consider....
