I think that's just typical behavior on just about any forum.  I  admin and
moderate a number of different forums and see that all the time, and all
those forums welcome newcomers.  Many of the ones that never post or post
once and leave either get their question(s) answered or find the forum
isn't what they were looking for in the first place.  Plus there are a ton
of folks that just lurk for a long time before they ever post.
