  Based on a new survey of AGN activity in Compact Groups of Galaxies, we
report a remarkable deficiency of Broad Line AGNs as compared to Narrow Line
AGNs. The cause of such deficiency could be related to the average low
luminosity of AGNs in CGs: $10^{39}$ erg s$^{-1}$. This result may imply lower
accretion rates in CG AGNs, making Broad Line Regions (BLR) undetectable, or
may indicate a genuine absence of BLRs. Both phenomena are consistent with gas
stripping through tidal interaction and dry mergers.
