The nature of a forum like this one is this;
A typical user will browse around searching for a question, or Google "Computer forums" and then find their way here. They create a free account, ask a question, maybe stick around for the answer, and then they're on their way.
The generation of that "forum user," e.g. those of us that stick around for years and years or just engage in random chit chat on a forum, is going away. Replaced by Facebook, Instagram and Twitter... faster means of getting info more quickly and without as much upfront commitment in reading a thread or otherwise.
