Guests

[KiwiCol]

Just looking at the stats & I see we have 5 members online, but there are 50 guests reading.  It's great there's info on here people want to see, but I feel like a bit of a 'goldfish' -  just sayin like  . . .

Hey Mick, how about a new smiley?  We've got a beer one but not one eating a hamburger or something.  Got popcorn, but who eats that?

Can ya even get one that's eating a burger?    Dunno.

Yeah. I'd love to have a means of encouraging people to join up,. or log in, but at the same time I want people to be able to see what we offer !

People have to be logged in members in order to download files from the downloads section.

If you can find a burger eating smiley I can put it up.

Popcorn is necessary as it implies sitting back and watching the world burn....

I got a look at the Facebook alternative page the other day they get new folk on asking the same old questions all the time over and over .
Has any of the folk here tried to get them to join here ?
I'm not on Facebook.
I think with all the effort put in by members here I do t thing guests should be able read all our posts without having to join.

It's the same on every forum - I can't get worked up about it. We could have the same discussion about people who join and never post - there are a few of them! With over 800 members now, how many actually post on a regular basis - probably less than 5%

I tend to look at guests as potential members, if they like what they see, eventually those that want to comment will participate. You can't force people to do that.

I agree the trouble is the people that join just to get a peace of info and then never come back just take up storage space , the other forum im on has about 3650 members and there is only realy about 10% of us post up regular .

I am a member but very rarely post as i don't have anything worth saying, but i log on every day whilst at work in Iraq and read all new posts and some old, i also have sold my 14 and have a Triumph for now, i don't feel as if i am looking in on a fish bowl, i do feel part of the forum even as a mute member.

Keep up the good work even if not said it is appreciated.

'Lurkers' are part and parcel of every forum which is fine by me, I'm on a football one and have never commented in 5 Years plus I only read it when we win so once a month on average

A daft game where 22 Nancy boys chase a bloated pigs bladder around a bit of grass
