Oh the lurkers....
Love2lovenj:
Yes you don't have to care or post but its irritating as hell to ask opinions on an advisor see 50 ppl read the post and maybe of your lucky 2 or 3 responses.
Wishful Thinker:
Just a thought, but don’t you think that those 50 views were people who may have read with the mentioned reader and was curious to find out what that person’s experience was like as well or maybe they haven’t read with them yet?
I agree with Njlady and username111. Please trust and believe that there are numerous reasons why people lurk and say nothing. Fear of being attacked for posting about predictions passing with Psychics when others weren’t successful; being busy in their lives to come online and post i.e., living their lives and not allowing readings to consume them; other members telling people how they should feel about readings; not allowing opinions; negative energies, etc.

I wouldnt mind the forum being closed, but it seems like eventually, the forum dies...happened to both SPS and here years back. Either way, if threads continue to get deleted by a psychics request, its no longer a useful forum anyway.

I agree, but i don't understand why the forum became "dead" when it was closed. I would rather it was closed and people have to log in to view, even if its just to lurk. I used to run a forum many years ago, and it was closed but it was very active. I think the concepts may be dying down because most people are now on fb and using groups. I can come on here once a week and barely miss a thing. Which is disappointing, i was hoping this would be more active.

I think closed forums die because they are cut off in Google searches, so very few new people find the site. With a forum, you always need a bit of fresh blood coming in every month to offer differing views or content. But yeah, people are on Telegram, Facebook groups, reddit etc etc. If the admin was more active, hired some moderators, and maybe did a bit of advertising...I think this forum could grow and maybe become a bit more useful if he closed access to it.
