The same thing often happens in MIRT.

I've never understood it. If you don't want to help, then why sign up?

I mean obviously having a good number allows for overlap on schedules and life, but some NEVER seem to ever participate.

and I am guilty of encouraging people to basically do just that!
(have told numerous people to sign up to see that the host forum wasn't some secret gossip/power chamber)

the next morning i looked and like FIVE for video. i was so bummed. i never get alerts and then when there were tons, it was the window of not going in.

i tried gd. too many. too much time. and i would wait for consensus and people didnt show. i could not wait hours for hide or not.

somewhere along the way people started talking about only listening to those in that forum.

so i do not speak up, unless ours pretty much. confused....
