Question Where are you?

Everyone is disappearing here! It can't be that there are bigger and better sites out there, so what's the reason? Some of the familiar names are no longer hanging around.

C'mon back!

Re: Where are you?

Yes, It seems as tho it is just the same people around all of the time. Telos mentioned that we lost alot of dial-up people.
I miss them too....

Re: Where are you?

DealofDay's DealTalk Statistics - Members: 154,114

7-10 active daily members showing up - let's say 20 just for kicks. Although, that IS inflated.

Moderators and Guides 23 total - how many do YOU see around here?
Moderators: (15) How many do you see actively posting?
Statchmo, mayor, verwon, jenimadison, Debbie42, telos2000, flash3992, Brittwoman, Jennifer M., beffie, twonky, ILUV2SHOP, darkwolf, pandybat, kat

Guides: Eight - How many do you see actively posting?
buckeyemomma, dibogart, cata5, naomimarie, angelswithdirtyfaces, tracissavings, teah, tlspiegel


What's my point? Bloat. Members complained about the ads for months. People do not like to scroll half way down a page to view posts in a forum. That was changed a few days ago. Let people know the bloat is gone. Bloat causes slow loading pages. Those ads were terminally annoying and people just got fed up and said bye bye.

We have a number of moderators and guides that not only just don't care about their volunteer positions, but they don't care about DOD anymore.

We have an excessive amount of members 154,114 listed. What for? More bloat! Many have never made a post. What's that all about? (just to inflate statistics).

Not necessary. People don't care how many members are listed, they DO care about how many are active. If people left - then find out why. If things have been corrected (such as the bloat) let them know. Send out an email letting them know they are missed, and we are now more streamlined.

Re: Where are you?

Well I am still here Have been really busy taking care of my mom ...But I have been trying to get on ...I miss DOD very much...I actually thought when I came to take care of my mom I would have lots of down time to post, read posts etc...but taking care of my mom has proved harder than I ever thought...

Hope others start coming back...I sure do miss the busy days we used to have...

Re: Where are you?

Time for some new mods and guides IMO. If they haven't posted in a month or more they should lose their title.

Re: Where are you?

telos dear rod! You are not part of the bloat. You know that! lol

ShainaT - this is quite sane. "Time for some new mods and guides IMO. If they haven't posted in a month or more they should lose their title."

But I think it should be expanded to 3 months. If mods and guides can't be active, then it's time for some redecorating. Nothing wrong with that idea.

No excuses.

Re: Where are you?

Jennifer M - not posting doesn't count in this sort of case - because you ARE performing your mod duties.
