Everytime I come on here I see like 50-250 guests online. We have to get these guests to sign up.. I think possibly if we do not allow guests to view the forums and instead have one forum that says... GUESTS READ THIS..ITS IMPORTANT.. and we tell them to sign up, then maybe we can recruit all of these viewers.

It doesn't matter if they sign up because even if they did.
They'll never post.

That's not necessarily true. Though it doesn't matter, as long as they sign up people see that it is worth to sign up and maybe they will start posting.. I don't know if the Level 2 and Level 3 debates are open to the public eye but if they are we should make it not and make people know that they are there and that if you do sign up and post a few you could see them.

Doesn't matter, the majority of them will most likely never post regardless. The fate of most ProBoards. |

I am going to always run DYIN, even if it is just me debating against myself. I am always trying to improve this site... and i will do whatever i can to make sure that it reaches near perfection. |

Daniel, I can help you with that... Once I get my forums to become a little bigger... At 100+ members.. I will try to get vBulletin.. and around 150+ members every day (like visiting the site). I can possibly give you your own domain..We do have one free domain left atm  |

this disscussion seems off the topic *laughs* but as DE Lead i agree we should get these guest to join regardless if they are active or not some ppl have posted as a guest so if we had that you can read as guest but not post we may get significantly more members DYIN is becomming more popular noticably so dan pat yourself on the back you deserve it.... 1 step at a time DYIN will brecome better and better we dont have to rush ourselves
