A little query please

Good evening dear Friends 

I hope that you are all very well.

At a time when most of the online forums are much quieter than they used to be mainly because of social media, PF is doing very well with still a lot of guests visiting the website ie 353 as this post is being sent but who never ever post or interact in any of the topics they are viewing and I find this rather puzzling...

I can see that most of these visitors are viewing old topics very much like someone going through a library archive but without any interaction such as leaving a comment on that specific topic 

I hope that you will not mind me asking as I have noticed this going on for weeks now and I cannot make sense of it as so many members would be delighted to have someone leaving a thumbs up on a topic either recent or a decade old.

Wishing you a lovely evening !

Karim

I think those are bots, not actual people.

If a topic hasn't had any activity in a while, I feel a bit awkward posting on it. Like showing up to a party extremely late, I guess.

Only members can post I think, not guests.

I don't think there's any problem with adding to old threads
