Does anyone else ever notice how there will be a splurge of new members, that show up everyday, and post about a billion times, for maybe a month or so, then they just disappear?

Example: Jolly McJollyson

Anyone care to explain this phenomena?

Yes, but due to the human encroachment of its natural habitat, it has been forced to adapt and incorporate guitartricks newbies into its otherwise monotnous diet.

Now that is funny I dont care who you are.....But seriously I think some folks find a new forum and exhaust all their intelligence in a short time and move on.(Attention hounds if you will) I have already exhausted mine so I am just here to learn and grow as a guitarist. Let me know if I get to chatty. Did I say to much already.))))))i just wanna fit in((((((
You are only coming through in waves, your lips move but I cant hear what you're saying.:cool:

sme331, your ok because you have helped people and havnt just posted a few posts and gone.
Its annoying if people take a really good name and then only post once and then people can never use that name again !

By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

I've been around for long enough (this is my second profile, long story about the first) I'm always wondering why I don't see people like Rasky, Christoph, or PonyOne posting anymore.

I'll still see a PonyOne post every now and again, not so much from the other two. Where lalimacefolle, he used to post all the time.

Yeah, I'm not talking about the users that post 2 times and never come back.

I'm talking about the few that show up, and within a month have already got like 300 posts, then they just disappear, never to be seen again.

Strange.

u know what bothers me even more?

the people who are terrible at guitar and still find it necessary to post a 'riff' in the tricks section

example: rudy "it sounds like Hendrix was jamming"

I definately don't fit in the 300-posts-for-a-month-then-gone-with-the-wind-category,but I also come around here is spasms these days,mainly due to the fact that I finished(OK,I dropped out of)college last year,and internet access in your average kenyan cyber cafe isn't exactly dirt cheap(not for me anyway),so I can't get online as much as I'd like to.And even when I do,I may not post a reply or a new post,just read stuff,so others can't tell that I'm still around,unless I find something's that a bit interesting,or start something interesting myself.

Eh, happens in every forum. EVERY forum.

I moderate a couple forums on http://www.totse.com, we get tons of new users every day... only a small percentage of them actually post anything. Of that small percentage, only a few post more than one post. And of those few only a few continue to post for a long time. And of course.. then you still realize, that of those few users every day who will continue to post.. 99% of them are ****ing morons.
