I think I may be able to give an answer as to why there are few SBCers on here. Most disagree with the positions presented on here and may not be welcome. Consider the following OP on here from the Baptist Faith and Message forum last year.
"The rather long threaded argument with "Abel" has caused me to ask the question, "Why do people do it?" Why go on a forum where people believe quite differently than you do and then spend time challenging what they believe rather than finding a forum that believes more like you do?
Now I'm a bit different than most folks here as a former Baptist. I know why I'm here. I'm here because I have friends here. But, I'm not going to be spending my time trying to argue you all out of being Baptists or into being United Methodists.
So what do you think the motivation is? I've never seen one of these individuals who come into the forum with guns blazing actually change anyone's minds. Most of them leave, either of their own accord or because they finally cross the line and say something insulting enough to finally push even our patient moderators to ban them.
What's the point? What do people get out of it?"
Also, I have also seen the conservative position on here described as being on the "dungheap".
With such attitudes presented, many SBCers could consider themselves not welcome.
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.
