I have noted that and wondered the same thing.

I do review the data collected by google analytics. From that, my analysis says that people are interested in surfing with no destination in mind and research on specific issues.

While I would love the see more people engaged in forum discussions, I hesitate to open the forums to responses by anyone that is not registered.

I review over 100 registration requests per day. Of that, there are a couple valid resist rations per week. That keeps spam down.
