[QUOTE="Miss Texas 1967, post: 87066, member: 36"] Jumping in to say I do understand it in the sense that sometimes people just have nothing to say, they're very content to just read and enjoy, like you often do with books. Other times it's hard to articulate more than an "enjoying the story" comment and that can feel redundant to keep posting. Alternatively, I know for me personally I read on mobile a lot of the time, so comments are delayed, as they are when scenes are short and I wait to comment until I read thoroughly as one larger chunk rather than smaller bit scenes. I'm not so sure about forums, but in fanfic I think there will also always be a group that just lurk too, the quiet ones that may not even have an account; I know, I've been one in various places, interested enough to Google and read but not interested or confident enough to actually make comments. In my own writing I'll get 30+ individuals reading a new chapter as it's uploaded but regular feedback is often limited to about 5 individuals (shoutout [USER=24]@Presea[/USER] [USER=99]@Honkytonkangel[/USER] [USER=311]@Alexia[/USER] [USER=56]@Mrs Bobby James Ewing[/USER] [IMG]https://www.urduweb.org/mehfil/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/imported/msn/redheart.gif[/IMG]), I think to focus on the other 25 people though would be a mistake, their silence in written words isn't indicative of anything negative, at least not in my opinion, they keep coming back, something must be working. Does that make any sense? Naturally it's a better community if everyone is engaged in a conversation about a common topic, not everyone is like that in real face-to-face life or online though and I don't think a lack of engagement is always people being purposely negative or hostile.
