When I went to the members section i was amazed at how many people had zeros for posts! That is rediculous why would sign up if you had no intentions on being part of the so cal jet boats community!

Marcsrollin · « **Reply #3 on:** January 11, 2007, 12:17:44 PM »

O.K I went and counted and there are 65 people who are registered and have never posted at all!!!!!
That sucks!!

I agree Marc.

I assume people just sign up and forget about it. Thats why I send out news letters from time to time to remind people about the site.

For now, I need to fix the broken stuff around here before I start promoting the site too much. Still waiting on some answers about some broken code $:-\$

I dont understand the whole sign up and dont post . Its not like you have to sign up to view anything .

I'll think of something .

I usually sign in (and not post) so that I can easily see the new posts because they got that "new post" sign on them. I usually don't post because I got other things to do than sit behind my computer hunting and pecking with my two fingers. I find it more interesting that the site is virtually dead on the weekends but as soon as everybody goes back to work the new posts start coming in.

At least you post every once and a while . I am a hunt and peck specialist . I've never worked in front of a computer so that is weird to me . With two small kids (6 y/o and a 5 m/o) I am always home with nothing to , can you tell.

I see that this thread has been dead for some time but felt it had some information that was of intrest.

I went back through the members list and counted how many newbies there were that have never posted, and I was amazed

Out of 588 members there were 293 with no posts at all, that's half of the members that are not giving any input

and a lot more that only have 1 or 2 posts.

COME ON PEOPLE, GET OFF YOUR *** AND SAY SOMETHING!

Start by posting a pic of your boat, wife, or anything of intrest, the rest of us will follow through and make it intersting

This is a great site for shooting the sh*t, asking questions about boats (including blenders

) and just hanging out, but it does require people to participate to keep it going.

Thank you and good night!

P.S. Hey Brad, the member list says 588 members and the counter on the home page shows 633 members, Have you been deleting spammers without correcting your totals

Brad @ SCJB · « **Reply #17 on:** September 22, 2007, 12:48:40 AM »

that number is a generated number that counts every account on this site and doesnt take into account some other factors where as the member list doesnt show members who havent activated their account by clicking the link in the email (theres 28 of those)....and banned users (spammers) that i have to weed out and delete one of these days.

....and for the record, the other day...the 1,000th member signed up the other day (jetlover) if you include every account ever created.

...about 400 accounts have been deleted because they were spammers.

Reguardless, this site has exceeded (by a land slide) all expectations I had for it in its first year. It will be 1 year old on October 26th. Thanks to everyone who has been a part of making this happen.

crewchief22 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 22, 2007, 01:01:13 AM »

I appreciate what you do and think SCJB is a great place to spend time (too much if you ask my wife

).

I just don't want it to slow down because the season is nearly over and people stop thinking about there boats. If there are that many people lurking that need a little push to get them involved I wanna help push.

Thanks Brad for giving us a great place to hang out
