This forum is far from dying, I've noticed on more than one occasion that we have a significant difference in the numbers of people viewing a thread and number of registered user in said thread.

That lead me to believe that we still have a large amount of lurker who do not feel the need to post.

For example, I've been here for a little over 5 years now and has browsed this forum on a regular basis but my post counts is still pretty low. It wasn't until recently that i decided to post more often.
