Genealogy Forum UK

I have just been looking at the number of members, there are nearly 24 pages, ( 1239) members who have never posted.

yep you always get that jimmy with forums, i cant see why they go to the trouble of registering and not posting, as you dont get to see any extra info if you are registered or not.

I wonder about that too!
I registered because I wanted to post!

As peterd says, there are always mumchancers. Some register because they think it's polite to, some find what they're looking for so don't bother to post, some register then find that they don't like the company, some register thinking there are hidden benefits, some just can't be bothered.

Some sites have regular culls of the mumchancers, others keep the numbers up as it might make a difference to the advertising revenues they get.

I wish Mr. Google Adsense would post something. He seems to be on here 24 hours a day!

I've noticed that Marky.Do you think that's who " Google Search Machine" is named after?
He/She is constantly lurking!!
And i've been on a site,which i wont name and of which i'm no longer a member of,(did i leave of my own accord or was i forced out? )that suddenly had an influx of members of which i thought,at the time,were fictive!!

I wonder sometimes what happened to Winnie.
She had a son i've forgotten his name now and she studied at the Sorbonne!!
Nimby? Oh yeah the nemesis of Namby.Oh and Franky with the limp wrist and his mate John who was into leather and they were always arguing.
Wonder what happened to them all? Maybe they are on here?

I've noticed that also and wonder why there are no names attached to them.

The ones like that are for the search thingies arent they? Like a spy bot?
Something like that I think?

Some join and lose the link. I know if I archive on the general and send a message some people say they lost the link.

All groups have people who join and look in only. Some people are afraid to join in...
Perhaps we are scary!
Well NL is but we all know that!
