WOW,did we get a load of NEW members!
« on: February 26, 2007, 03:48:13 PM »
Very gratifying indeed.  We jumped from 400 to 420 in a matter of days.
I think we have the magazine, koiphen  and Sean's magic to thank.
New guys.... :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: :welcome:



Also note we are approaching 100 registered visitors a day. We have been in the 90s this past week.
Boy, when you are good you are good :wub:

I don't know if we're all that good. Maybe just getting the word around. Do we every clean out non posters from the list? I was just bumping around on the member list and there's a lot of "0" posters.  I understand how that would happen I guess.

So we don't know if the "0" posters really come back to read or just become a member and never come back here again? I wonder why they sign up then if they don't intend to really be a part of us. I guess I'd better go and close out my membership at a few places, come to think of it.

I think people lurk until they find the site that is relevant to their style of ponding and a mix of people that they feel comfortable with. They speak up when they feel they have something of importance to contribute, until then they lurk and learn. When they do speak up they most likely find new friends and a home (I would put a smiley here but it wipes out my post..)

Many people never post. They just read. Some register and join and then decide the site isn't what they thought or they don't have time or whatever.

We have several that I know of who lurked for a long time til they made their first post. Many are shy about it.  That's fine too.

Yeah but lurking and registering are two different things. I think it is kind of too bad when people register and then don't become part of the group by joining in the interaction.

You need to be registered to see photo's. Guests have very little access here.

I check the guests every day and most of them are full members who are not logged in. Even guests show an IP address when they lurk.

Cheers,
Sean
