> > That rather stuns me, too. RinkWorks is up to almost 100,000 hits per weekday (the average is shy of that, but it's exceeded that amount on many occasions), and yet the message forum still seems to be visited, or at least participated in, by a very small percentage. Again, I'm not complaining either, but it's truly odd. The Reader Survey responses I get make a little more sense -- I guess there's a lot of people who just don't care about message forums.

I didn't want to be associated with those "dweebs" who had nothing better to do than to post that "junk" for public viewing. Then I saw Rinkworks Forum and I knew that deep inside I too was a dweeb. I too had a lot of non-sensical junk that needed to be a part of the public domain. I too had to share all of my worthless ideas, viewpoints, and "crap" with whoever would listen. Thanks, Sam, for showing me that there is a little dweeb in all of us.

I think that the main reason why the forum isn't so popular is that it requires a massive investment of time each day which most people (Often including myself) don't actually have. I just like to think that I procrastinate more then most people though. I think that the majority of people just come to this page for a quick laugh or two to get out of those boring and mundane jobs. Then again, I could be wrong. (And yes, I agree that it would be VERY bad if too many people posted....imagine what you'd have to go through if everyone who came here posted one message per day!)
I myself didn't really like message forums until I looked at this one. Actually, I spent a LOT of time just reading the messages and not posting (Of which there are probably a lot of people out there who do the same, to all of those people HELLO!!!!). It was only a little while ago that I actually decided that this forum was worth investing a lot of time in (coupled with the fact that I got the internet at home) and so here I am.
