    I got new forums where signups are increasing and no new posts.

    Why people are interested in only signups?? I wonder.

    That looked strange to me too. As far as i think, people should sign up to ask their questions..

    Maybe you're offering something that doesn't require them to post?

    No no.

    I have offered to post 25 posts for 50 directory submissions and just signups cannot benefit me (I think so).

    Is that the symbol that I have good forums. And people booked their usernames fo the time when it get good going?

    Exactly 30 within 5-6 days. I have seen this is happening earlier also.

    Now, I suspect spam. The usernames are: bofghjgfghfgfhg, zwyocbtf, hzcvjcpd, gkqnaahig, xnnuavndp, owqhcasi, eccpfuvezw and more. You can look yourself here http://www.xanersoft.com/forums/memberlist.php

    I'm actually half way through writing an article about 'waking sleeping members up'. I'll post the link when I'm finished.
