Facebook slowly strangling this site?
Dark Diggler:
Hanging a hat on Facebook as the reason this place is quiet is great and if something makes you feel better, I've always said go for it but......is it really the reason it's quiet on here?
I've seen numerous 1st or second posts , where someone asks what something is worth, which let's face it, goes against our etiquette but do new members know that? Invariably, these posts are met with " interesting 1st post GET A SITE SUPPORTERS TAG " and usually followed with several more frosty replies along the same lines, hardly welcoming is it.
This thread is a good example of many threads where there is lots and lots of moaning, there's other threads that end up with people falling out. These threads are regular and across the boards of the forum.
Maybe a quick poll of former members who didn't come back after the crash and the ones who did that don't come on very much would give more answers.
The thing is though, there is a warning that comes with seeking the truth, you might not like what you hear.
I don't use Facebook and rejoice in that fact regularly but lots and lots of people do and they seem to it :)

From what i remember Stodgy saying last year, i don't think you can actually delete a group once there's a certain amount of members?? ???

blimey Si - next thing you'll be sticking up for 24" Tuffs
but I agree with what you're saying, old members aren't going to necessarily hang around forever and newbies to the forum need to feel welcomed. We generally do a pretty good job of this esp. on the rideouts but there's always room to improve
