thanks

There have been lurkers about as long as there have been forums, i get them as well the best bet would be to offer some incentive to get them to post, perhaps add an arcade and make it accessable to members that have at least x posts.

You could always email them and ask them to participate in a discussion or perhaps ask them how you could improve the forums??

They may just be shy

Good luck
