Are registered members frightening?
 
At the time of composing this epistle there are 38 registered members online and 180 guests.
Thats 218 people browsing the site.

Why are these guests not inspired by the pearls of wisdom imparted by members then inspired to sign up, and also share the secrets that are given when you sign up?
The one flaw in this thread is that the guests wont be able to tell us, what do members think, are we scary?

We did have a facility at one time which showed a flag of the country these guests were from.
That no longer works, it used to be interesting.
There have been a few, made 1 or 2 posts, PM'd me about a soldier, never to be heard from again.
Retlaw.

I would like to think its an international forum open, to all races, creeds and opinions.

There has always been a sign opposite the Greyhound, as that is the border into clayton, it used to say "Please knock and wait to be attended to" what does it say now.

When you go to Sealife & walk through the tunnel with all the sharks, that's one thing, but actually getting into the tank ................ well ! :D

There will always be those that come on for a reason then move on, also there are those that come on to make a name for themselves by trying to be outrageous and controversial then run out of steam.
There are always more guests online than registered members, why don't some of these sign up, if only to get the key for the executive toilets!

Wonderful analogy, so are you saying that registered members are sharks? (just being the devils advocate)

Some of the 'visitors' are cyber robots trawling for potential spam sites.

Your words not mine Maccer (advocate away) :D But to an extent I suppose so, there's all different types, some are aggressive others passive, then there are those that'll have a nip now & then. Other than that they just float about, doing what they do with the occasional feeding frenzy thrown in for good measure, but you've always got to keep an eye out for the fisherman's nets or the big hook of the angler. ;)

I reckon on many sites that grow, yeh get quite a lot of younger uns joining n then after awhile vanish, fer varying reasons, get fed up, start courting, etc etc, hit the drink, all sorts of stuff, its called life.
