I've been writing to some of the newbies that sign up, just to let them know if they have any questions, that this fellow minnow will be glad to try to help out. I'm using the "NEW" tab, and then limiting it to tab "introduceyourself," and for the past couple days I'm only seeing about 6-7 users signing up per hour--if the "introduce yourself" post-making is any kind of indication.
It seemed like the first day I got here (two+ weeks ago) there were a lot more newbies than that coming in.
Has something been changed in the display protocol for that particular tab? Have bots been eliminated? Anybody got any ideas?
If we are getting (let's be optimistic) ten newbies an hour, that is 240 per day or about 88,000 per year. That's a lot less than we need....We need to catch the big dogs ASAP, and that just ain't going to cut it.
a person who has recently started a particular activity , beginner, novice, newcomer. It's true that some users–particularly newbies—fall into the Web like Alice down the rabbit hole . thanks
Yes you are right we need more people to join and grow quicker.
It's like somebody shot of a spigot somewhere....?!?!?!
Only 4 new members in the past hour. Something has definitely changed.
maybe they found out you were on here! lol.
no uh...maybe it's seasonal.
Geesh,...you rednecks can be harsh! (LOL)
OK...only TWO the last hour, and one of those looked like a scam-bot type thingy.
WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING????
