Okay, I want to know something. How many of you on here just read posts rather than writing your own? I mean sure, everyone pops on and just reads for a bit, but does anyone actually come on JUST to read other people's posts? I don't believe that people come on just to post their own stuff. I reckon a lot of the time, there's at least 50% more people reading the site than there is posting on it.

So, I want the ratio you spend reading the site, and the ratio you spend posting. Mine's about 70/30 in favour of reading.

And yes, I am very bored and can't sleep due to wanting to see Matrix Reloaded. *watches trailer again*

Meka Dragon to be the leader of the group

5 newbies to do it for them.

Gerrid and FFF just to stare

Edgy to constantly tip over the ladder

and Mr. Snuggly to laugh at when he falls

You've heard the old joke....

How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

I admit I posted more when GAD1 was running, but not just for the prizes. The quality of topics seems to have deteriorated now.

For example, a topic about XGRA was turned into a topic with 100+ replies arguing over spelling and grammar. What's up with the members?

I mostly read these days. I post short posts, but long posts are beyond me now that you've stopped giving out DVDs. Can't be bothered.

*waits for tirade of "You only came here for FAD"*

Well, it's true.

Probably 95/5 in favour of reading. I still haven't got used to this posting lark. Then again, I read a heck of a lot of stuff on this site.

I tend to read through what gobbledygook people are writing rather than write it myself, so it's about 85-15 reading for me.

70/30 in favour of posting if you include replies. How ever if you just mean original posts then probably 50/50.
