member list

[Vista]

I've just been browsing the member list by number of posts I'm on page 3 (but already beaten by Deuce SPAMMER coupe

 

But I noticed that if you sort by ascending, there are 149 pages & 2966 members who've never posted, and probably quite a few more who've only ever posted once.

 

What (if anything) can we do to encourage these members to come back and play an active role?

[Mk2Jo]

Lots of people join up and prefer not to post ... lurkers Others see the name at the shows and join up just to see what we are about. Some peeps join up just to search the archives for information.

 

We are always open to suggestions on how we can improve or change the site (doesn't mean we will make all changes made) but we are happy to hear your ideas.

 

PM any one of the Admin team with your ideas and we will discuss them at our next meeting

if members don't post can they be reduced to a view only type membership ?

[Burns]

does it really matter?

 

if people want to post, they'll post

I think the objective should be to encourage them to play an active part rather than place restrictions for not doing so.

 

Variety and diversity are indeed the spice of life so the more people that post the better IMHO

what difference would it make as they dont post anyway ?

 

something that you could do , not sure if admin have the ability to do though is a mass email reminding people who havent posted in a while that we are still here .

 

not everyone remembers site addresses and maybe cant be bothered looking then they also forget there password ect . .

 

 

but you will always get lurkers who just like to look at posts rather posts themselves

Same as above for me, I was waiting on gettin my OSF before I started posting like mad, but im just a great big SPAMMER now

Can you send a mass email out about the South west meet we're trying to get up and running. I've spent hours wading through the member lists sending PM's, but many of them don't get read coz the intended recipient doesn't log on. If an email were to go out though...............

[Mark2Mark]

To be honest i would not worry about it as there is not much you can do to make the site more welcoming, i have only been a member for just over a month and i am hooked, where as i have been registered on a couple of other ford forums for longer and hardly posted at all simply because it is a lot more fun and easy going on here, well done everyone

[fezza]

Wonder how many ricer boys have joined up after seeing the web sticker in the back window of an osf they got waisted by just to see what its all about

[slimrs]

i only signed up here to view all the classifieds, i signed up to all the classic ford websites but this is the only one i seem to use now. it seems to suck you in

[Mark2Mark]

I only signed up because there was a link to this site regarding Doc's capri and retrosport, I had to sign up to veiw it and never looked back

[louie bagel]

i've glanced over the site before but never registered till i saw it in the cf mag now i've been on and posting every day since and i,ve never spammed before either! downside wife keeps moaning and threatening to leave or should that be an upside ???.

 

I think it would be a good idea to get the bods at classic ford to do a big spread on the site that should bring some attention

[Burns]

yeah, i noticed the site through RF. there seemed to be a lot of those stickers round so i thought i'd see what it was all about.

[Mk2Jo]

Cool .... thanks guys .... it's really nice to hear some positive comments and we (Admin) really do appreciate it It makes all the hardwork behind the scenes worthwhile

 

Thank you

[Daggle]

I am also a member of an Anglia site, that one is great for tech advice, but for just chatting about Fords, as if I was sitting in the pub with my mates then you can't beat OSF, YKT!!!!
