Why are these forums so quiet compared to other sites?

Ok, didn't know about the casual games thing.
Case dismissed.

In the future, it's best to use the report form if you think an opponent may be cheating. Moderators have the experience to process those reports...

@NeverBeenTimid You should see how viral this forum gets when anyone even mentions the word "cheat"! It kind of dominates all other conversation...

@NeverBeenTimid Click my profile and look at some of my posts, quite a lot of them are troll posts.

This forum is so quiet, I feel like there's no point in posting anything, since no one will answer anyway.

Could it be that everyone's hanging out on reddit?

Yeah I gotta admit maybe the captcha is a small factor in less forum participation.

The forum on chess.com could be more active because people are encouraged to post. That should eventually catch on here with time (5-10 yrs).
