Why do people start a thread and then disappear?

[Summernight]

But that only shows threads you've actually posted in, not ones that have just come up or you haven't commented in yet.

In that case your better of using Tapatalk on your phone. It lists all the new threads as they are posted from the latest back, regardless of what part of the forum they are posted in.

You can do that through a normal browser too. It is what I use:

http://bicycles.net.au/forums/search.ph ... d=newposts" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Why do people ask a question and then never repost / reply after members spend time typing up detailed answers?
Maybe they ...a) are rude b) don't like the answer they got c) forgot they started the thread?

Rule1: don’t reply to someone with a post count of sub 400.
Rule2: don’t reply to Xplora or you get the opposite effect.

Good to see that people are coming back to this thread and it's up to page 3. Maybe the problem really is just a trivial minority.

Is it me?

I was hoping it was me

[piledhigher]

The real question is why do some people keep starting so many threads and not disappear?

You know who you are...

[Derny Driver]

Every time someone resurrects this thread I feel I must post something lest I be labelled a hypocrite. Im sorry I started it now. It probably was about someone in the beginning but Ive forgotten who it was.

[Xplora]

This is the thread that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend...

[ni78ck]

is it too late too join this thread?

I know how you feel- the difference for my recent thread is people also hate me for raising it. Perhaps I should have disappeared after starting the thread- get my wife to go vegan and become malnourished etc

I thought you made a good point, and I've said much the same myself before. But you should've known where that was going to end up

I knew exactly where it was going to end up- some unspoken things need to be questioned on occasion

[mikesbytes]

Did I actually take the time to read this thread?

Just get the mods to lock it?
