Not sure if it's true here, but I've seen data on other forums suggesting that there are 10 times as many members who don't post, as active participants, and another 100 times of people who browse the forum without registering.

When this forum started the ex-mods on Steve's forum did a sterling job in getting the active posters over here. Most have remained active. Some have left and new ones have joined. That's life, you can lead a horse to water ...

Even better, the splendid burghers of Wisconsin have told the powers that be what they can do with their lockdown and reopened the pubs.



I wonder how much the flight costs?

We aren't all 97. Some of us have to work, ya daft auld coot.


Then stop it. Work is a very bad habit and once you take your coat off for anyone it is a bugger to get it back on again.



Still, you are only a kid and have to learn the hard way, so if you or one of the work freaks around here would care to do the honours and connect this link to Youtube, then you may well find it worth your time.

There are supposed to be 51 posters on the forum but I am buggered if I can see them.

I must confess that I have been surprised that with the lockdown more people have not logged on.


You want more users online writing posts, you need to start more topics. That isn't aimed at you personally but it is something you can do to get the "debate flowing" as it is the reason I have noticed from other forums for having quiet periods. I guess when you have no or little new topics, users will eventually move on from their POV on current discussed topics and then lurk waiting for a new topic that interests them to turn up before being active again. Perhaps tomorrow look at the latest thing and start a thread on it. Today for example we have had the new antibody test with promise and that 1 in 400 of us have Covid19 that isn't being discussed on here as nobody has started a thread on it for example.

Could be Toots. Or maybe the place is too quiet. I notice that the Holy Joes are working themselves up to making morning prayers compulsory. I think I will schlepp over to ---------------------- . God knows they are disgusting, but fun with it.

It wouldn't hurt some.  :roll:   :lol: I must confess that I have been surprised that with the lockdown more people have not logged on. There are some members I really miss.


They are probably gardening or doing Destroy-It-Yourself projects.

Only 11 (currently) are members and allowed to post. The rest are lurking as guests while waiting for a good moment to join and join in. On the other hand some may well be members scared of getting aggro so just lurk to get a handle on who are the nutters.   :roll:  :dncg:
