Mentors are rarely mentors to help other players (which is their intended purpose)

Please explain why you think this statement is true? I've yet to see any convincing argument.

The general lack of activity in Novice Network when questions are posed makes me feel that way. Even when it's nearly full, it's almost always just me and maybe ten other people tops actually trying to be helpful.

Can't speak for all NNs but I've noticed a lot of people, me included, overlook the mentor chat often because we're busy, afk, or simply so used to seeing the text scroll that we don't pay enough attention to pick the questions appart from the chatter. Doesn't mean we don't participate, just that other people get to the sprouts before we do. Generally, if questions go unanswered that's our time to shine (provided we have an answer)
