The most over-used and abused punctuation mark there is, the exclamation mark, should be used seldom and with caution, because if you have more than one exclamation mark per ever three to five pages, you have over-used. Instead, use strong well worded dialogue to convey the emotion.

Yea, So I been watching this forum for several months and I don't see any posts. I can only arrive at several possible conclusions; The first is, my browser is broken and I'm not seeing all the posts, in which case I'm sure someone will help me fix it. The second conclusion is (and I see that people are viewing the forum mods monthly announcement) that the writers gallery died and nobody is posting. I suspect that is the case.

I would, however, venture a guess that there are many writers wanting to post, but it's scary breaking that ice. Well, whatever the case is, put your hands in the air and step away from the exclamation mark.
