Possibly because like me they're newbies who have nothing of much note to tell anyone, but are happily looking for hints. Still, the inclination to respond here did encourage me to register at least.
I've actually been lurking here for almost 2 years since dom2 untill I finally gathered my energy and signed up, I just didn't feel like getting involved at the time.

My lurking period was exactly as described by Agema. The game was very difficult right out of the box (envelope actually) and I was desperate for tips and clues.
I've been playing for 6 months and eben now there are very many posts that make me say "Gee, I didn't know that".
