The replies to your question, should be a good indication of why some stay away, new members are tortured here on the forums..I know I will also after posting this...just like most other forums you will get alot of negative feedback...which frustrates a great many who then just say I don't need this and don't return..
Members should be more respectful of new members who are just starting out and are about to go on a long learning curve..
Hope this may help you understand..
PS: I also went under the gun ... under a different user name, when I started a Comptetion site for Lock On...
