My young son is a member but he hasn't made a post for 6 mths.
Probably has 6 posts in total.
He loves the idea of being part of an online astronomy community and
is very hesitant to post for fear of looking like a dill.
But he reads and observes and learns a lot in the forums.
He wants to participate in the monthly terrestrial competition too
but feels he would be also judged on his work.

I bet a lot of members have kids who also have membership.
There should be encouragement not the opposite for the silent
membership.

FWIW,

Steve (proud dad).
