Even if they didn't post, at least they would have to be a member. I have no idea how sites like this work so this maybe how it currently is or it can't be because of this or that. I am just thinking how I would like things in "Jeff's world".  |
You raise a good point Jeff.
As a guest, there are no limitations on what can be seen, only what can be posted.
We (the group of core users) talked a few years back about having to be a signed in member to view all of the great info here, but in the end most felt it was more important that potential new members could see what the forum had to offer, rather than force them to sign up and be logged in.
Lots of people come here and loot the good info without contributing. As wrong as that might be, they are probably the same type of person that we wouldn't enjoy having here anyway. I want members that WANT to contribute and be part of a community, even if it is a small community.
I miss fishing with Don, Mike and Marty, but I know that even if I don't see them for 2 years, we'll still be able to pick up like no time had passed at all. I've learned tons from them and they've never wanted anything in return. Not that I have much to offer.
Nothing but great guys around here......and a few curmudgeons like myself.
