it seems to me that we don't have very many members... around 350 or so...


i think it might be a good idea to have a 'write up' for people that are thinking about becoming members.. basically a write up that engourages prospective new members to join and start posting topics... i would like the write up to basically say that we don't have the negative attitude that some -other- forums do, we're here to help...

the atmosphere on this site is really like being in the paddock at an event.. pretty much anybody will help out if they can


a lot of us are pretty much out of questions... some new faces with the same old question will freshen things up around here and keep us on our toes


i mention it becasue after reading the rules for CC.com many moons ago, i know there's no way i'll ever become a member there.. i don't like the attitude of the posting rules.. i don't care what that site has to offer..... you don't talk to people like that in real life, so why do it on a forum?...

Its not that I don't like the idea, I just question how necessary it is.

To get new members you have to get them here first. If that is done, I think the site sells itself if they browse a few posts.

But a welcome statement doesn't help if they aren't here to read it.

The easiest thing members can do is put links to this board in their sigs on other boards they visit.

I think what you're suggesting would be a nice touch to add to the site, but I don't think it would accomplish what you were intending, based on what I said above.

Like I said, I'll be happy to post and pin it if you want to write it.
