A public shout out and a request

Thanks @wallfish for the help today... much appreciated!!

 

Also... while at the tractor show yesterday @Sparky mentioned that our little site here is slowing down.

 

Im guilty as well of not visiting / participating enough. So folks lets start spending more of our screen time off FB and on the REAL Redsquare!!!

 

Cant wait to see you guys at the big show!

So... is Tony in charge of the Retention Commitee?? 

Agreed, this is the site with the helpful folks. FB is full of wannabee "collectors" (they collect money).

Weather gets good. No screen time ripping up the garden and painting fences.

I'm still not on the books & faces or any other social media platforms. No intention of it. 

I've been posting a little less too because of warm weather and job situation.  

 

I'd be all for THIS site growing.

I'd be curious what "slowing down" means... paid membership, non-paid membership, lurkers, posts, ???

Jim, I think the idea was to build membership,                       Not to frighten them off.

Between the weather, family time, and more time at work I haven’t had time to do much with the tractors. Now that it’s getting nice I find myself working on them more. I have noticed an influx of new people coming in and asking questions so that’s a good thing. I have been wanting to do maintenance and fix some annoying things on the tractors so I’ll probably document it when I get to it.

 

Friends don’t let Friends wear Speedo’s…..😬

This is way better then FB though. Build threads are retained, information is searchable, and the people in the forum are all great people. There still seems to be some bad apples on quite a few of those groups on FB. 

That said I will post occasionally on FB. But I am not going anywhere on here, this is the BEST forum on the internet.

  Nothing scientific was used to make that determination. Was just my opinion on the amount of daily posts. I have no idea about the up/down trend of paid memberships.

  I do see a lot of groups on FB pertaining to WH. Some are moderated well and others just let ya say whatever’s on your mind…cuss words and all.
