This conversation has recently started up again in the Comment Chain #2, although it's taken place in various other AW Chains and such already as well.
The problem, as I see it, is that people sign up to participate in a blog chain of some kind, whether it's an AW Chain or a Comment Chain, and they don't participate fully; that is, they don't comment on all the blogs.
In the AW Blog Chain #6, with 21 participants, there were some blogs that had only 9 or 11 comments. What happened to the other participants?
Now, in Comment Chain #2, most blogs that have been tagged have only 9 comments (mainly because we set the threshold at 9 comments before we move on and tag the next participant). That's out of 18 participants.
Where are the rest of the participants and why aren't they participating?
More to the point, do you see the lack of commenting a problem? If so, why? If not, why not?
What suggestions do you have for resolving this? What can we do differently?
I put this in a separate thread because, from my point of view, it's not the problem of one chain. It's a problem with all of them.
