Proof that there are plenty of people out there who recognise a good thing when they see it. This forum can only get better and stronger with dedicated members who value what we have :)

ive had to re-register 763 times after being kicked for whining too much.

Seriously though, good skills. From what I’ve seen this is a great place to be for both info and help and general chin wagging. And I’m liking the general acceptance of newbies opinions.
 
@Dazzafact, glad you have seen that we do work hard to welcome people and help to integrate them into the community. We don't just expect people to sign up and find their own way, we help as much as we can.

@Frogeyepete , I monitor stats on a weekly basis, so I'll keep an eye on this and see what happens. If it has a negative effect, to the point its proving detrimental, then we will have to think up a new strategy 👍

@Karl, exactly as I thought boss...people have thought "it won't take long to get ten posts for full access, might as well sign up" . By placing the restrictions, the club appears more exclusive and more appealing to a potential member because they have to join in a bit to receive the info they require. Once they have had a bit of a chat they get hooked like me! The wife only joined cos I was chatting away and she wanted to see what all the fuss was about( or keep tabs on me!) Long live ElgrandOC
 
I agree, I think by "forcing" new members to post by the time they've got their 10 posts they spoke to a few people and will be more likely to continue to be active members.

Talk about the missus keeping tabs on you, When I was adding the photo on the reflection competition on here I didn't realize my wife was looking over my shoulder, suddenly she shouted "what the hell have you been doing with our bedroom mirror outside on the path".:joy:

Could have been worse, you could have dropped the mirror and not got the shot of the Elgrand ;-)

Yes. Any registered member regardless of post count, can send PM's. This feature is enabled to allow people to interact, although PM's sent do NOT count to overall posts on the forum.
