I'm the minority that just did.
To be fair, I can't help but feel like a big part of that is due to the wait of having an admin accept registrations and/or being confused/impatient as to why they can't post yet. If that one little page is not read correctly directly after sign-up; there is no indication going forward that you have to wait. Just a very vague one. That in itself will deter repeat visitors in my humble opinion. So, I wouldn't fully attribute it to shyness. xD
I completely get why the system is set up like that, spam bots and scammers. I know a thing or two about it with previous forums' I admined, CAPTCHA and the like. Things that make it hard for anyone to run an honest forum these days.![]()

The only thing that confused me about it is usually when a forum is set up like that, you get an e-mail saying your were approved or something. I was checking my inbox for hours until I realized I could actually post. >.<
