Some quick statistics since we are close to passing 26000 members. ~10% of all members post once, and ~1% post more than 50 times. Apparently these sort of numbers are similar for other forums.

I looked at DCTP's numbers too. 1/3rd of their members post at least once which is much higher than our number (10%), but only 15% of those one post people then go on to post more than 50 times, so not much better than here (10% of DCW's who post once go on to post 50 times).

While having a custom signup scheme and being a scanlation source might attract more people willing to post once at DCTP (or dissuade those from signing up who only want to lurk), it seems that converting those one time posters into many-time posters is much harder than it looks.

I, personally, made this account to listen to the podcasts. That was really what this was for. It was only a bit later I realized what 'forums' was...
If I were to sign up as a member for DCTP, it would only be so that I can stalk people since they don't let you view the profiles as a random lurker. In all other cases other than DCW, that's what I am; I prefer not to make too many Internet accounts. However, I don't get why somebody would post once, but not 50 times.
