Could you explain your normal experience here on this forum?

Do you find yourself reading more than posting? Or the other way around?

What is your view on posting?

Do you like creating your own topics or no and why?

Lawn care business tips
I read as much if not more than I post if that is possiable.LOL

I like everything about this site.

My view on posting is this; Don't be affaid to post for fear of thinking you'll sound stupid. The only stupid question is an unasked question.

Yes I like to create some of my own post to see what others have to say about it and it helps me learn more.

I like to post and read.

Its interesting to see people the same situations I was in when I started.
Its nice to be able to help others like they have helped me.

Its also a friendly place; opposite of some other forums.

Its nice to talk about things that make you think.

I find myself doing about the same for both.

Thanks for all of your insights.

I do wonder at times what keeps members from posting.

I wonder if it is they are afraid or shy or what it is.

I think thats probably it. Or they feel that they are going to ask something stupid. I don't know why though. Its not like we know who they are or anything.

Or maybe come traumatized from other sites and are scared to post here.

Good points!

I tend to forget how difficult it can be to post and ask a question because I am posting all the time.

I love the forum! *It has been extremely helpful to me and our business in many ways.

While I do find myslef reading more than posting it is not really because I do not like to post.

Sometimes all time allows is a quick read of topics that catch your interest. *A lot of times I have a response to topics I am reading but I don't have time to repeat a response that I agree with that has been already written so I opt to spend more time reading

Very interesting!

Could you explain to me how you find the posts you want to read? Do you search for them, use the new post feature, review different forum sections? Or just go by title?

Usually unless I am searching for one specific topic I just hit new post and read whatever catches my interest
