few possibilities:

1. They are boosting their post count

2. they are hanging around, have some interest in your thread, maybe just interested in an answer or the discussion, but they don't really have anything to add to the thread

very likely other possibilities

I take it to mean they are waiting for an answer, and begging someone to reply.
