The more times I add to this thread the better chance I have increasing a page.

Nope. Given how often you post I find myself responding to your posts often, but still manage to ignore you more than half the time.
It is a question of volume.

Personally what happened is works web-screening software took a dislike to CotI/RPGrealms towards the end of last year so I can't access it at lunchtimes anymore. My home connection is (still!) a 56K Dial-Up and since the loss of access at lunch-times coincided with the "signal to noise" ratio in discussions seeming to deteriorate markedly#, I largely ceased bothering to post. I drop by to check the news, and keep up with roughly where things are headed, but I'd rather spend my online time elsewhere these days.

#In the sense of what felt like a marked increase in the rehearsing of old topics and a wide spread increase in levels of mis-communication - it was beginning to resemble RPGNet to me
Isn't it fairly typical of lists and boards that the majority - often a vast majority - do not post? 1500 out of 5600 might even be good.
Now, I must say I'm more puzzled about the top posters, and how much time they must spend writing and reading posts (the QLI people aside). I barely and irregularly follow just a few of the topic groups, and I seldom find anything to comment on.

Well, really it's about 200 out of 5600 who are actually carrying the conversations here. But I think it is common that only a minority of people subscribed on boards and mailing lists actually post anything.
Probably a combination of (a) having strong opinions, (b) wanting to be an active part of a community and (c) some combination of being bored at work/spending all their time in front of a networked computer anyway/not having a life

There used to be a bit of a race mentality behind some of the posters, used to be, heck there still is
Mal's pulled ahead with my reprioritizing and absence of late but it was nice to be in the top 5 briefly 
I've always tried to make my posts about quality and mostly in my case it's often a desire to help those with questions by offering my opinions and knowledge since I've been playing and playing with this game almost as long as the creators and through every version except GURPS.

Just did some quick math and the other aspect of the large volume posters, in may case at least, is time. I've been around here since early on too and my posts average less than 2 posts a day over that time
Hey, I'm over quota for today already, guess I get to go home early and take tomorrow off
I wonder, and have wondered before, if some of the new citizens who don't post are just still catching up on the reading of all the posts that have gone before
Hmm, what is the total post count?
I read every post the first year or more, but as the community grew to over a thousand and the topics began to diversify and specialize I have had to pick my interests. I still scan every post through the active topics list though
and take a peek in the Political forum now and then as well as sticking my nose in the Moot.
