Re: Your messages for people who haven't logged on in a while
Well dollie, if this is gods waiting room - it ain't so bad
My first reaction Azz, was yes it seems a good idea. But having thought about it and reading comments, it is not knowing why they are not posting that is a concern.
The first part of your message is fine, but I'm not sure that sending messages from members would work. I've no idea what to say and none of them know me.
Whatever you decide, wish you luck

ive only been here a couple of years and i dont post much the main reason being its not my kind of forum theres nothing really gripping to comment on and i find it very boring in here ...i do belong to another forum which is the complete opposite where i get my daily dose of laughter and i love going back every day..here i feel its like sitting in gods waiting room...
perhaps you would care to tell us what is your kind of forum and what you consider something "gripping" to comment on? 
If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see here, maybe Admin will consider it.I'm sorry if you feel this isn't your kind of forum and you find it boring here but something must be of interest to you as you have made over 70 posts in July alone!

For those who think that there's no point having X number of members if they don't post... I'm afraid to say you just don't get forums.People dip in and out of forums for numerous reasons. I am, for example, probably a member of a few hundred - yet it would be impossible for me to post an all on a regular basis. I post on them when I need to or want to, whether that is for specific advice or when I just feel like in the mood.
Anyway, can we get back on topic please - this thread is for those who want to add their comment to the email
(Thread will be removed just before the email is sent)

What I don't get is celebrating a membership of 1000 when the majority of them don't post. Maybe I used the wrong phrase in my original post when I said 'there's no point in having.......' I should have said there's no point in bragging about it.

All forums are the same, lots of members, but only a few regular posters.What I don't understand, is the people who go to the trouble of joining up and never posting at all, there are quite a few of those people on every forum.
