i always thought there would be more people able to come here and participate 
Yes you would think so, alot of people in the world with schizophrenia.
a minority within a minority, but what is there about 100 posters or so?
A lot of people come,post and then one day leave. A few stick around.
Edit:
the one thing that kept me posting all those years ago was the creative area and i posted poetry and things which gave me more confidence and reason to stick around. if i dint have that i probably would have been too paranoid to post, i probably would have gave up with it, i am glad i stuck around though, its all i had back then really without it i had nothing to rely on
704 active users in the last 30 Days according to the stats.
why don’t they stick around?
Dunno. I’ve noticed that every so often a new group arrives and a good few of the older group leaves.

i’d like someone to try to find out why people don’t stick around because i think most people here would like to help them if we can, what about a survey idk
a lot of people have left…
even i’m thinking of leaving.
i came on for the support, the learning, the kind people and the humour. 
take care 
You never seem to ask for support. You’re always the one who is doing the supporting. That can be draining?
