Don't assume that no comments means no readers. Until Wikia Central took away the visit counter a few weeks ago, you could have seen that most of the people who read a typical story don't even look at the talk page, much less comment on it. The example I usually give is my Courtney story--it's only had four people ever comment on its talk page, despite being popular enough to win Featured Story last spring. In fact, as I've said elsewhere, part of the reason I left CatVoD on the FS ballot month after month was because that was how I was getting my feedback. Likewise, Jkl's TDI remake seems to be fairly popular, but how many people have left comments on its talk page? Granted, that story's talk page is fairly long, but the commentary is virtually all mine.
