In case you didn't know... the number on the left is the number of people, and the right is the number of posts!

I find it interesting that more that half the members have not posted once.

 

[ForgottenTcklr]

Well, it's alright...

Now's as good of chance to begin as ever!

 

[Daumantas]

Let's keep in mind, though, that this business of chasing posting counts is what prompted the mods to clean up the boards last week.

 

[ForgottenTcklr]

What is chasing posting???

 

[CDFGA]

*yawn.



......Wake me up when it's over.

What is chasing posting???

It's what me and BigJim used to do. Sorry about that, mods. Posting is not a competition, but you should do it at least once a year.

I do wonder how often (and which forums) the 3,000+ non-posters visit.

It has happened twice that I have received an email from a member with less than 10 posts saying that he or she enjoyed one of my stories.

One thing to keep in mind is that those of us with higher post counts have those higher numbers largely from engaging in ongoing discussions with other members, posting pics, posting stories, etc. Personally, Drew and I post more in the general discussion forums than anywhere else. For those who don't visit there much, it's a great place to get to know more about your fellow TMFers. Sharing thoughts about tickling is great. But, there IS more to life than that alone.

I suspect that some of the newbies may feel a bit intimidated at times. To those who do...Come on in! The water's fine! We welcome any and all civil input. And, contrary to what anyone might say, we don't bite...wel, not hard anyway!

I know that I personally have been posting a lot more in the last few weeks. I have been a member for over a year and a half. It has nothing to do with "chasing" or being know. I just feel it's time to give back in whatever ways I can to this community!

I know. Why would you join and not post?

I spotted this, and it occured to me to mention to the viewin' audience often won't post if their opinion is already stated by someone else. Many don't want to post a 'me too'.

Sometimes, though, a 'me too' is as valid as anything else, ESPECIALLY from you quiet folks.

Mind ya, some folks are just happy watchin'. We're here for them, too.

Some are shy.

Some are restrainin' the urge to say somethin' they KNOW won't be well received.

The result is that there's a smaller number of us posting regularly.

I still wish we had a "me too" button for threads where a body just wants to show agreement or disagreement. A simple "me too", or better still, the more complicated "Agree" and "Disagree" buttons, with a running total regardless. It'd have to only accept one vote per member, but that'd do, likely.

My $0.02,

[QBWeaver]

Yeah!


Me too!

heheheheheh

 

[ForgottenTcklr]

I agree,

I think that for the people who do put countless time and efforts into posting pics and clips and stories, etc. These people deserve our gratitude. So when I see a good pic, or a few, I love to thank them for their work. Being accepted is the best motivation in the world!!!

 

[MistressValerie]

From my own experiences, I think there are two main reasons why many people don't post. First, many are uncomfortable posting "me too" messages, since some boards specifically designate those as spam. The second, and much bigger, problem is that many people are too shy to post.

I receive about 5 excellent stories or adventures *per week* by e-mail from members of my boards -- usually with a request to keep it confidential! There are so many talented writers who are nervous about posting publicly, either for fear of disapproval, or of their identity being disclosed, or even because they may not speak English very well. (I sympathize with that, since English is my own second language.)

Polls are a good way to break the ice with new members, and some sort of "question of the week" which takes only a brief answer can be helpful too. In any case, this board is one of the liveliest and most exciting that I have ever seen, and I have told many of my friends about it.

Happy tickling,
