Well it is not why no one talks rather what if someone needs a question. I do agree that no one talks anymore. In channels with 500+ people it's often to see 10 join/parts and 3 name changes before someone talks, and it's usually !list or !<etc>. However, every maybe 5 minutes or less there's at least a staff member/someone who can answer the question/operator who could help people. Every time I want to know something about a group, the first thing I do is go to their site, then check out their IRC channel. What else would I do...send an e-mail? That's so 1999.
