i was really bored, and decided to look thru member list.exactly 357 people are members, who have never posted at ALL,

that means, just about half of the "members" have never posted!

just a tidbit of "...useless information, tryin to drive your imagination...hey, hey hey, thats what i say..."

That's really sad that these people never post! Even just a "Hi" is nice so we can get to know you is really nice.
Please post!
Try to stump us with a question on your car.

Can members pictures be put up in the important topics
section so it will be visible all the time. This might attract
more pics. Just my 2 cents{that's all i have after buying parts
this week for the 6.}

It might be cool to have a more structured "members' gallery" kind of like JD has at Rennlist or the old 911 Gallery started by one of the Pelican members. Any member could toss up pics w/ captions and update them whenever they want. I know that a lot of guys don't have the knowledge/resources to built or host a full blown web site on their own, so this kind of thing could be a real plus to get some of the lurkers to participate.

I think a lot of members are only registered to use the classifieds
That would explain why you don't see 'em posting here...

cheers,

Oh, I just "nailed" the owners pics thread...

We were planning to build an members gallerie (like on rennlist), but since we're all bussy like hell with other stuff... well, just don't hold your breath (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I was over at Mike's 914 (local shop) and a guy there asked where I was from, I said Port Hope and he said "Oh your Mark Henry".
I asked how he knew and he told me that he has been lurking around the site for some time but never posts.

I didn't even know I was famous!

Or is that infamous?

I like the members' gallery idea!

A short newsletter wouldn't be considered spam, would it?

Hay, come on.....
I've talked (really, face to face) to a few lukers and asked them why they didn't post.
Basicly, the answers were that they didn't feel that they had anything interesting to say (that's never slowed me down) or they didn't feel comfortable doing so.

I know of a couple that don't have 914s. Mostly guys with ar cooled engines that face the wrong direction. They're keeping an eye on us.....figuring this may be some kinda of plot to upset the natural Pcar order.....it is, of course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

We are free to post random drivel or just read it.
Works for me.

Don't they read the crap that Geoff and I post?
At least he knows the answers to D-Jet questions...all I know is what an effin' valence bracket is!


This feels like a community as much as a place to discuss 914's to me.
