Sounds good, doesn't it?
8422 members, but about 60 "regular" contributors, of which about 25 contribute every day.
Where are all the other 8300 -odd ones??

....that many.....I'm shocked...

[Sixstring]

Even someone who posts once a week only is a "regular" contributor, but I take the point.
Some of us put up 10 or more posts a day, some a lot more, but mostly the same "old guard" and seeing there are Eight Thousand or so others, Where are they?

They're all too busy standing outside or at work wondering what the hell to fix next ?

It seems likely to me that a number will have joined to solve a specific problem and then got on with their life.

Some will even have joined to fix a problem they lived-with on their Omega but wanted to fix so that they could sell it!

It is quite extraordinary in my view that OOF works as it does.

No harm trying to wake a few lurkers I suppose.

Think you're being a bit unfair there Sixstring.

I don't contribute tons myself - but whenever I've received help from other members I'm the first to post a thank you to them. And to share anything - however small - I might have picked up along the way. I've had my Omega for almost 8 years now, and only joined for real when I thought I might be able to contribute a morsel in return for all the ace advice.

Thing is - long-serving members have so much experience that my little contributions seem a bit trivial.

That's life I guess. Now look - you've made me grumpy.
OK - more grumpy.

[dbug]

Some of us are shy  :-/

[Brikhead]

Some of us have nothing useful to contribute. :-/

[Lazydocker]

Some of us just post a load of rubbish

[Dishevelled Den]

I'm just a bit of a sad old git.

Must admit, this is how I feel. You only gain a real knowledge of something when it breaks and you have to fix it. Thankfully not much has broken on mine so I have limited input but I try to advise if there is a topic that I'm familiar with, otherwise I keep quiet and observe from a distance.

[Mr Skrunts]
