There's Been A Lot of New Members Recently...

I am sure that most of you have realized this, but there have been a lot of new members joining recently who register an account, but then never change their avatar, profile information, or even make a post. You can see all of the new members by checking the member's list and sorting the join date by most recent:

Anybody have any idea what's going on with all of these new people?

My guess is that they forget they registered or that they don't see anything worth posting about

But there have been anywhere from 3-7 people per day registering with no posts.

There is a specific section to introduce yourself, so the least they could do is start a thread in there talking about themselves...

Maybe we could PM them and tell them that they should make their first thread in the intro section

I have no idea, it's weird. You can send global PM's right? Why not do that?

Maybe they find the site to be just another died site within a few months.

Or maybe they just got bored with it.

How could they get bored with a site if they never even posted???

There's no way they're "bored with it" if they have never posted, edited their avatar or edited their profile information. Plus it's strange that it's happening multiple times daily... It makes me think they're all spam accounts, but they don't actually post anything so I don't see how.

I had one spammer on my site, it took it two weeks to post. Some of them might very well be spam accounts, I'd be cautious about it.
