I don't read all forums anymore either. I do try to select those threads which have no replies to read first though.
It is a good thing to know/remember that a well-read thread might still only receive 10% replies (1 in ten readers will reply.) AND that's on a well-accepted/known topic. Something more obscure might get more reads but fewer people have anything to say on the topic.
Also, I think it's good to know/remember that fewer people are here on weekends...or maybe they're here but not posting? At least it has always seemed that way to me.
I think if you go a week without the replies you'd like...or no one has given you the answer you are looking for, "bump" it back up for another look.
