It most likely depends on how interesting your title sounded, the time of day where people are and the relevance to the title once people are into the thread.
I mostly look at the new thread thing on the right side, it doesn't even tell me who started the thread... so it all depends on when things are posted and when I look.
Look at the number of views each thread has, last I looked no thread had under 50 views and it was only about 20 minutes old. If people don't have anything to say on the topic many times they don't respond but still they had at least 50 people look at it.
No offense intended but your post and topic reminds me of a whiny 8 year old who wants their way. If you feel like not responding to someone's post in particular, feel free to not do so. On the other hand I don't believe making a coup will be beneficial.
If someone has broken the rules please alert a moderator and deal with it through the private
messaging system.
I don't mean anybody broke the rule, but I have noticed that some really interesting topics goin down the drain, while other stupid topics get heaps of responses, undeseved.
Well, that does happen. Lots of different people log on in their time zones, and they see something interesting, like when you told me you thought that Oregon would be a nice place to see and I wanted to gush all over you about how wonderful and beautiful it is here, and how you would be so welcome by the people here, because we respect and admire rugged individualist here!
but then there is the laundry, or making dinner, or going or being at work all day that make me forget the interesting topic I read just the other day and where was that thread, and it has already been five page later that I have to read until I see that the topic has nothing to do with what it started out, just that morning, so I just let it go. . .
Threads rise and fall by who has what time to be on them. They self select, too. After a while you will see WP is it's own entity, that has a life of it's own.
no amount of moderation is going to change that.

I did not rearlize this thread was still going.
I was not speaking of OR the way you put it here. Yes, I would love to explore the pacific north west, including BC in Canada, cause I like the nature there. Never uttered a word of how welcome I might feel or not feel.
