Not necessarily, times have changed. Once upon a time a person may start their day sipping their coffee while reading the paper and maybe end the day watching the evening news. Some might end their day hitting the local pub for happy hour and chat with friends. There are also a fair amount on here that are at the end of their careers and have more free time. That doesn't mean their lives are lacking, that means their lives and times have changed. The internet and a forum like this also allows people to spend a little time communicating with people from around the world with generally a similar interest that they may otherwise never know isn't a bad thing.
Now someone with well over 12,000 plus posts in less than four years, an average of 10.5 posts per day, everyday, including weekends, holidays, children's birthdays, anniversaries, etc. on one forum may have a real life that is sorely lacking.
