    Just wondering how many new registered users there were today?

    I went through one page of the Schwag and found at least 7 new users today, so i put up a “welcome” post

    But while hitting up the 1 – 3 post users, i found a number of 1 post users 44 weeks and over, the most shocking to me was crazybaboon Member for 3 years 17 weeks and it was their first post in the Schwag

    I know i keep going on about the number of users who only post in that, but without trawling the pages (which i may do when i’m bored) how many people from the currently 905 and rising comments would be left if you took out everyone with less that 10 posts?

    The site means different things to different people.
    You can’t measure being “part of the site” on postings.
    I visit the site at least once per day, do the fantasy cycling, post up events, am doing the MCC, etc, but I seldom post on a forum.

    I rarely post anything on the forum, mainly as I don’t think most things I’d say would be of interest to other people. However I have used the forum for advice in the past and it’s been very useful.

    I visit the site on a more than daily basis and read pretty much everything which is posted, and occasionally even click on adverts on the site. Does a low forum post count mean I shouldn’t be eligible for Schwag? Of course not, the site provides different functions for different people, all of which are equally valid.

    Incidentally, I did win a Schwag when I had about 5 posts…

    More ACTIVE members makes the site attractive to sponsors and advertisers. Yes

    But having a user base of say for example 10k but only 1.5k above 25 posts, then that works against the principle of attracting people to the site (in my eyes)

    I’m welcoming ALL users with open arms, see here http://road.cc/content/forum/49857-welcome-and-hello-all-new-guys

    I’d just like to see them become more active, giving the site a more users who contribute rather than just coming along ever so often for the freebies, yes EVERYONE wants to win something, even if its just a pair of socks, but i don’t want to see Road.cc losing out to a whole host of users who just wait for the Schwag email, come leave a comment and then disappear until the next email :B

    No No, at least 10 times that much, so over 1830 posts đŸ‘¿

    I know i raised this issue before, but if there was a 10 post minimum, it MIGHT encourage people to get involved with news stories and forum posts to be able to enter the Schwag’s without being overly off putting.

    I just dont like the idea that someone can register today, post once in a Schwag and walk away with £1175 worth of wheelset or anything else for that matter (a pair of socks) and not have bothered to be part of the site

    Yeah its all good raise the profile and getting traffic here, but if they don’t stick around after their one post and when the Schwag ends, then its a pointless exercise, might aswell just give themselves the wheels and save the hassle :B

    Its now upto 1120 comments, now i’ve only see a max of around 650-700 comments before on any Schwag, so its bringing traffic in, thats for certain, I’d just like to see, even 10% stick around, There was something like 3000-4000 players in the fantasy game last year, but only a handful of people posting comments in the forum, Now i know its be said by the guys running this site, that the forum isn’t the be all and end all of the site, but personally, i’d like to see the amount of users who come and post, even once a week rising this year with the fantasy game. It adds a little something extra to the game when people are commenting on tactics and riders throughout the races, rather than just coming on, picking a team and then coming back the next day to see points and making transfers.

    I would just like to see some more people getting involved with the forum side and the “banter” we were all having đŸ˜•

    I had similar thoughts myself earlier as to how many new people would be piling in to enter but I’m sure Road.cc intended it to be this way in order to raise their profile and raise the traffic coming towards this site.

    True they should simplify the schwag and limit it to members with 183 posts. B-)
