We don't get many newbies anymore?

[RCT]

I just noticed we don't get a lot of newbie posters anymore.

We get new people registered all the time, just not posting...

I've noticed that too. I think those who are here have been here for quite a few years... and I hope none of you are planning on going anywhere any time too soon.

I think we scare people!

Seriously, I have checked out a board that had people who obviously "know" each other well and have for years and it can be hard to jump in. I was on a home schooling email list like that. People asking about each other's kids and if one was going to the Peace Corps and what happened with the testing they had, etc. I got off it because I didn't have the time or desire to get involved, KWIM?

I just recieved an email from Donna saying that newbies can't seem to post. I don't know if she signed up with a new username and that's why she can't post....

Does anyone know anything about this? I emaiked her back to see if she's using a new username. I'll keep you all informed.

OUR Donna? It's been quite a while since she's been here. What did she means that newbies can't seem to post??? Like they can't or ??

I hope she feels free to come back and post again...

yes "OUR Donna" .She appearently saw this thread and said that "I know for a fact that new people can sign up, but you never get privileges to post."

Anyone know why ...she hasn't been able to get in touch with David either?

I can't imagine why they wouldn't be able to post... that's weird.

The last time she checked in here was January 24, 2007. (She went under SpeechMom, right?)

Thats what I see...Think she might have been locked out....maybe using wrong password (just speculation on my part). Then maybe tried to get a new member name.

Anyway she just wanted me to post about the newbies not being able to get privledges.

David L are you reading this?

maybe a moderator could send him a message.

It seems like other people have had trouble like that in the past. idk. I tried signing up under a new name, but the email I'm supposed to get to activate my account hasn't come yet. Go figure!

I'm in! I'm sure there are one or two board members who are less than thrilled at this )

I hope I never crash this computer, cuz ther's no way I'd remember the usename/password/email combo I had to use to get in!
