[PAYNE1]

Hi! I was just on a forum where the man was lamenting that many, many people had read his question, but not anyone was answering it. The modera- tor came in to address his concern. I, then, said that I was upset about how many people were reading the responses, too, and how few people even responded. The moderator then responded by going into more details about the "robots" monitoring the sites from the Internet and how many people actually were reading it in comparison. I found that to be very helpful--and relieving. I'm just thinking that maybe that info might make a good sticky for new users, so they won't assume what lots of us are wrongly assuming about the slackness/laziness/whatever of the readers.

By the way, I also saw a site where the moderator jumped in with some answers. I thought that was very nice and helpful!

Hi
thanks for the input

I dont really think this is something that needs to be announced in a separate sticky, as our mods here are very helpful in letting people who may be confused know about the fact that a topic gets read by many, both bots and human guests, who are not forum members and so cannot reply. Most members are already aware of the many who read and do not post.

We have actually also found here that the "stickies" often get overlooked by many and have even had people posting *on* a sticky asking where the stickies are

*see below

ps I updated our already sticky Helpful Info thread on the New Members forum to reflect this info
