Hi to all, whilst I do pop in for a quick read every now and then, I rarely feel the need to log on every time that I do.  I'm sure this is the same for virtually all forums, you'll always have the 'hardcore' members who are online & logged in on every visit.
What I like about this site is the vast knowledgebase there is and the very helpful members who have helped me and probably hundreds of others keep their omega's running sweet whilst not reliant on VXL's stealers.
Ok, I probably would re-sign again if my account was deleted purely because of the above.   :y
Let's face it, there is nowhere else on the web where you can get honest, accurate advice without charge about the old barges we all drive and long let it remain that way!  ;) :y

Hi all just popped in for my usual evening read and like many others maybe feel a little guilty about not posting regually. I do tend to just stay logged in so when PC is on I presume the forum shows me as logged in. I suppose that I am a bit lazy and enjoy just reading and learning but would not hessitate to offer advice if I saw that somebody was strugling and the usual experts were not on line or replying.
While here a massive thank you to regular helpers as I would estimate that this forum has saved me at least £1500 in dealer labour charges since joining.
        SO THANKS AGAIN
Guess its alright to shout that.   ;D ;D ;D

Hi,  I am a new member and I will probably be mainly a lurker just looking and learning then applying the knowledge gained to good use when working on my Omega.  I hope to be able to help occasionaly but virtually every problem posted appears to be answered almost immediately and I have only limited time in the evenings to get access to the computer.  This is just how it seems to be in most clubs/forums, there are the dedicated hard core group who do most of the work and get involved with socialising etc. and the rest join in occasionally when they feel they have something to contribute or need help with a problem.

I don't think that you should ever decrease your registered user
base.

You don't know how this site will evolve in the future. A lot of sites
start out like this, and then, because of the specific user base, they
start to attract internet advertising, tailored to the user base.

Ie Insurance, Spare Parts, Custom Parts, Engineering Services, Google
etc..

The higher the registered user base, the more likely the site is to
attract revenue, and the price charged for 'Banner' headlines etc..
increases.

Never give your assets away!   ;)

The last thing I want is yet another company trying to sell me yet another load of Cr*p. I am having enough getting BT stopping sending me emails, despite having complained twice, and sending credit card apps to my old address that I haven't been to for 3 years. No wonder there is credit card fraud. I would not like my details here to be used for any comercial purposes AT ALL, and would leave immediately if this were happening.

Hear Hear! I'd be more than happy to pay for membership of sites like this if required. After all, someone has to pay the bills, but there's enough advertising on TV, falling through my letter box, pestering me on the phone, etc...

Looked through the members list from day 1 the other day & noticed how many members logged on months ago but have remained inactive since. I understand not everyone's as talkative & involved as some of us & may need help sometime but maybe 1 post every month (even a newbie welcome) to keep their membership active might sort out the dead wood.     Just a thought. :-/

Personally I think non-active users should be removed, BUT - a non-active user is one that haven't logged-in in a long while, not one with zero post count... a user who logs-in every now and then but does not post is fine with me. Also, I would define 'long time' as maybe a year or two, i.e. we can safely assume that if someone hasn't logged-in in a couple of years he ain't coming back... some people sold their meegas and lost interest, while other may have died... of boredom.. reading my posts....  :P  did I mention I have a toothache?

Valid point, automatic exclusion after 365 days maybe...  do "0" users clog up something in the workings somewhere?  If not, why bother?

Does that mean people who have had their post counts zeroed will have their accounts deleted automatically?  :o ;D
