Are We Scaring Our Newcomers?

[editor]

PLEASE, we want to hear from you. We get kinda tired of resoponding to eachother all of the time. :D

Could this be the very reason people aren't writing?

Do they come here and see such a small close-knit group that they feel they would be intruding to post?

What do you think?

[Christian-Samurai]

I hope not. I want them to feel welcome and invite them to post as much as they want. I have tried to send private weclome messages to those new names when I see them On. Come on new peopl. join the fun we miss you and would very much like to hear what you have to say. :)

[editor]

I do hope they realize we hardly know each other and have only met on these forums ourselves - very few of us have met in person.

[Christian-Samurai]

I am sure they are very smart people. The figured out how to sign up, I am sure they know how to post. :) I Would be very sad If I had to cut back on posting to bring in new people but I would do what is needed. Come on people help a brother out, Dont let the admin cut us back, PLLLEEEASSEEE join in and speak up. let us know what is on your hearts and in your heads :D

[collegegirl]

I joined this website to find new friends. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and after about 20 posts, you feel as though you really know these people. We value your input. Please, it is just like swimming, you have to just jump right in. We will not criticize you, we will probably build on the subject, and end up poking fun at eachother. The whole purpose of this site is to get to know eachother, to swap ideas, beliefs, and even tips, and if you enjoy it, please, pass it along to your friends. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!! :greetings

[Christian-Samurai]

Maybe it was those photos of Joe and Me that we posted that is scarying them off :D hhmmmm ;)

[collegegirl]

Undoubtedly. LOL :D

[Christian-Samurai]

Well could you wooo them back with a photo of yourself??

[collegegirl]

Nice try. :harhar1:

[Christian-Samurai]

Got to give a brother an A for effort

[collegegirl]

[Christian-Samurai]

[collegegirl]

Ugh! Blessed, where is that drooley one? oh wait, here it is. :drool: LOL

[Christian-Samurai]

Ew no thats not the drooly one thats the upchuck one ewww

[collegegirl]

Take it however you want.

[Christian-Samurai]

[collegegirl]

So if you can make smileys, why couldn;t you make them and joe pot them on so we can judge whether your McDrooley is better than the one we have now. heh

[Christian-Samurai]

Because this brother is to lazy to make it again, I am sure there is a good one out there we can use to have fun with :D

[blessed]

wow u guys are some serious addicts in here.
i hear u all are scaring the new ppl away i definetly think its the pics of those two .. what do u think collegegirl.

As to the problem of new ppl not chatting do u think we can send them messages inviting them to come chat. Im volunteering to do some how many members do we have so far...

[collegegirl]

we probably have about 70. It should say so on the members page or on the main page. Yes, It would HAVE to be the pix of samurai and Joe. I don't know how many have even been on after they became members.

[Christian-Samurai]

Nope that cant be true about my photo cause I got 2 ppl signed up and chatting and they both have seen my pictures :D so there :P

[blessed]

He He well maybe u bribed them. Seriously though i see we have some new ppl chatting so that's great, but i wish that all 70+ members will come and chat won't that be cool

[Christian-Samurai]

Well just keep on truck'n and we'll just have to see what God's path will put before us :)

[collegegirl]

I will try to get some new ones on. Way to go Samurai. :champion:

[Christian-Samurai]

Good get your friends on would love to meet them

[collegegirl]

I am trying to!!! But before I joined on here, I didn't have any online friends, and the others are busy or don't spend a bunch of time on the computer. I will keep looking, though.

[Christian-Samurai]

Good I am glad you are doing so, I hope I get to be amung your online friends list :D

[collegegirl]

Of course you are. And so is blessed, and babyruth, and there will be others added as well.

[Christian-Samurai]

Cool thanks, soon my friends list will be so long ( like 10 ppl ) i will start forgetting everyones name :D

[collegegirl]

If you start forgetting names after 10 people....oh come on. I learned about 10 names the first day I started at my job.

[blessed]

My one friend hates a computer she really does not know how to use it, i for one told her something is wrong with her

[Christian-Samurai]

Hey now I believe that there are truely some ppl who shouldnt have computers and I should know because I have done tech support before sigh when a blind man calls up and is guessing what the screen says to help you help its time to rethink it

[blessed]

when a blind man calls up and is guessing what the screen says to help you help its time to rethink it


Whattt!!!!!

[Christian-Samurai]

Yes true story the man was legally bind and couldnt see what was on the screen un less he pressed his face to the screen and even then he was guessing what it said, i kindly asked him to call back when he had someone who could help him :thelook:

[blessed]

:think: :think: and u had to be the one to help him :D hmmm... isint that interesting

[Christian-Samurai]

OOOO i could tell you stories lol but some of them just wouldnt be right posting on a Godly forum so I wont but l will say trust me some ppl should not have a PC

[collegegirl]

I know just enough to mess one up. LOL :D

[Christian-Samurai]

that would be just about how every story starts,they did something to break their pc and now they are mad they had to stay on the line to talk to a tech after going throught he automated system which might have sent them to some other country first so they blame me for their getting a tech who isnt a native english speaker :D

[collegegirl]

eh, I just get my older brother to fix it.

[Christian-Samurai]

hahahah dont think that would fix what they really got wrong, a few wires in the head,

[collegegirl]

[editor]

OK guys, this is getting off topic from the original thread. How about taking it to the new chat forum?

[blessed]

[collegegirl]

[blessed]

[collegegirl]

Must be. :D

[Christian-Samurai]

well it seems we didnt scare them enough because now they are just flooding the site with Love :D

[Mr Cross]

I'm not neccessarily too new here but every time i'm in here it scares the daylights outta me, LoL. :D

[blessed]

really why is that *concerned look on face*

[Babyruth]

I feel intimidated by all the posts! But it's nice to see all these awesome people on here!

[Mark]

im really scared, please bear with me.

[chocolateismybestfriend]

i'm overwhelmed by the amount of reading i have to do, imagine if i missed a day.! i would be in overload mode.

my eyes dont particulary like me either

no one is scared, they want to join our "family"

[HotShot53]

Lol, that's why you can't miss a day ;) But since the same threads normally keep going, it really isn't all that much extra to read if you miss a day, since most of the comments are on the same threads anyway.

[Mick_Mack89]

Your right hotshot, and besides if you don't know what to say, randomly start a new thread about checkers or something like that.

[JMC_785]

Matt gets up and bears with Mark. Whatever that means....
