Active members

[SimonH]

Is it just me that finds it really infuriating :cwm23:


Not sure what's happening with this forum or how we encourage more active members, but it would appear that members fall into 4 categories.

1. Very active, starting threads and keeping the forum afloat really. You know who you are guys :xxgrinning--00xx3:

2. Browsers and occasional posters. To be honest I probably fall into this category :Erm:

3. The old faces that pop in every now and again and make some sort of contribution.

4. The users, the one's that have found this forum and come on asking for help with visas or the like, get some very good answers and advice and then don't come back until they've got another question that needs answering :mad:


Rant over, maybe it's just me :crazy:

[fred]

No..Me also.
Good rant!
More!

[stevewool]

:laugher::laugher::laugher::laugher:.
It takes so many different people to make the world go round, some you just don't seem to see eye to eye with,but we are all here to help and maybe have a little fun along the way.
I have forgotten most of what people are needing for visas and things like that, so really what am I good for, winding people up:xxgrinning--00xx3:
I understand where you are coming from Simon, that's why I asked the other day for Facebook people just incase my windup's go to far, nudge nudge no what I mean

[stevewool]

No..Me also.
Good rant!
More!

You missed the people that join, ask a question, get an answer..... But they never post again. Not even an acknowledgement to say they've read whoever may have answered.

I too am in that category, I read post every day and reply to those I can.

When I first married my ex wife who was a Filipina in 2008, the help I received here was amazing.

I cannot help others on current Philippine info, but like to think I am keeping in touch with members who helped me and saw me through rough times.

:iagree: ... and it's [occasionally] the same story when you give out rep - without even receiving so much as the common courtesy of an acknowledgement - :cwm25: it's as though [a few] haven't a clue... :anerikke: ... what rep is!

It says i have to spread my reps around i cant give to the same person to many times

[stevewool]

What amazes me is the join date when someone comes on who you thought was new,it seems some have joined many many years ago but may have found what they was looking for

and some who do know but very very rarely give out, though they have received many in return.. :wink:

From rep messages I have received, I seem to get into a jumble as to who they are from and often cant thank people because I am not that sure who they are from.

I do keep trying to give them for good post but am often told to spread them around first.

:yeahthat:'s true, guys ... on each of these counts. :icon_rolleyes: ... I used to think ALL members were able to see who'd given them *rep, but have, of course, long~since discovered only the Forum Administration + Moderators can access such information.

This means ... unless the donor specifies who *it's from (personally, I always do!) then the recipient will be none the wiser. :NoNo:

[stevewool]

I hardly ever put my name on the reps i send , but i know i have sent loads to everyone :biggrin:

[SimonH]

Looks like I'm a giver and not a taker :smile: Having given out 2 reps in this thread (always stating who it's from) but not received any in return.

Tis the season for giving I suppose :biggrin:

Which reminds me, it's about time I made small donation to the forum :wink:

[stevewool]

Well it seems i am doing a Diana Ross, "Im still waiting" for any reps,

I give rep if it allows me, without saying spread it around! But like Mick says, half the time I have no idea who gives me rep.

:icon_lol: ... well ... :anerikke: ... I'm waiting - if you're feeling in a generous mood, :santa: !

Have rectified with you Simon, you did put your name :xxgrinning--00xx3:
Tried to give others but told to spread them around!
Mick.:smile:

I was not allowed to give you a rep, seems you have too many :biggrin:
Mick.:smile:

[mickcant]

........................................... :doh ... me too!! :bigcry: ... join the club!

I was not allowed to give you a rep, either Arthur seems you have too many :biggrin:
Mick.:smile:

[fred]

Only one rep at a time...Got to spread em around!
Problem is we are running out of members to rep spread.:NoNo:

[SimonH]

No more for you Fred, I have to do some spreading :smile:

[fred]

No more for you Fred, I have to do some spreading :smile:

SHEEEESH!!! Hurry up already!!

[stevewool]

Maybe its because so many us gives reps to the same people for the comments :Erm:

[stevewool]

And may i just say thank you for the rep which i received today, i will use that as a early birthday present or even a very early Christmas present, or better still a very very early retirement present .
Anyway thank you very much.:xxgrinning--00xx3:
Again it says i must spread them around more so i will keep trying to give more out

[grahamw48]

Ok, reps distributed to those that I can ! :ReadIt:

I guess I'm just one of those annoying old pests who won't go away. :olddude:

Sorry I don't start many threads... just that my mind is a blank most of the time. :Erm:

[lordna]

Guess i am in the no 2 category and rarely start new threads. I am always reading the threads but don't always comment. As for reps, i only seem to remember they exist when someone mentions them. I will try to remember in future.

[stevewool]

Dont worry about giving out reps boys, just a simply acknowledgment is all that is wanted sometimes.

[Steve.r]

Just thought I would chime in.

[Michael Parnham]

Not sure..Probably checking XE.com..

What's XE?

[Michael Parnham]

No not me Steve..Everyone I know has a life!!:icon_lol:

Love it, rep on it's way Fred:xxgrinning--00xx3:

BT been doing major work in my area had no Broadband for a few days, they have given me a nice reward in the way of compensation so I am happy with that:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[fred]

Thanks Micheal!!

Arthur, whilst I appreciate you're trying to help I do not appreciate my threads being altered without my express permission.
The thread was altered after 6 days, and if I wanted the word 'distinct' in my paragraph I would have written it. As it happens, I was contemplating using the word distinct or specific but I deliberately didn't.

Simon ... I'd been wondering when/if you'd get around to spotting that. And, being a pedantic sort of chap - like myself - then ... :anerikke: ... of course you would've eventually, I suppose. It was only a question of *time! See #9 (in which, I've complimented you in my thread on that very *subject: :wink:

I really don't want to get into an arguement about this, Arthur. If I have broken any rules by swearing or copy and pasting from other sources then by all means any moderator can do their job and edit my post.
Until that point, if I feel that a post I've written can somehow be enhanced by adding a word or the like then I'm more than capable of using the 'edit post' option myself, I do not need any help :NoNo:

:smile: That said, I apologise for altering your thread ... or rather, adding the word 'distinct' to it. There was actually a twofold reason for my doing so, however.

Firstly, with your also being an observant bloke - AGAIN, like me - you're bound to've noticed the number of occasions on which I've edited words in my own threads/posts.

:yeahthat:'s because I'm keen to see my sentences/paragraphs in as neat an "alignment" as possible (in the style of newspaper print) ... a struggle, :iagree: for someone like me, who's NOT sufficiently endowed with the "technical knowledge" to achieve this effect.

And secondly, due to this "perfectionist quirk" of mine, I'd inserted the extra word to fill what, to me, seemed an inordinately leng~thy empty space between the "4 & categories" in the relevant post.

Anyway, I ought to've realised this change was likely to show up :icon_rolleyes: ... as virtually every item edited - after it's been on here for more than a few hours - does nowadays. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
