I was thinking about surveying users who don't post why they don't post.  Maybe in the future.  Could be several reasons such as trolling, arguments, hijacking threads, witch hunts, and off-topic posts may turn people away.  Maybe people are afraid to post stuff because they may be attacked on the thread.  Also a lot of the threads here tend to be negative subjects too like gun banning, anti-democrat/liberal, crime, opinions against political candidates, etc.  The majority of Hawaii is democrat/liberal so we are turning away a lot of potential visitors.  Same thing with women.  That probably makes up 85% of Hawaii's population that we exclude from this board.  Most people want to be in a positive environment where there's pictures of kids shooting, threads on shooting events and competitions, and other happy stuff.  Most people don't want to get involved in politics.  But I dunno, just my thoughts.
