I am asking that as this is the third garden site I have posted on.
One big one turned out to be a political hack but even then when I was there I noticed people seem to just disappear; they are people who post often and seem informed but they just go away.
I checked back every now and then and it was always new people.
There is another Homegrown Goodness that are good people but after two years of lively replies from a large group of repeat persons, this year traffic is so slow it is like almost talking to yourself with the exception of one or two who are still around .
Why does this happen on gardening forums?
Dozens of people view a thread but say nothing.
I have been on several auto forums for decades and there are more than a handful that have been there as long or longer.
