You know many people post and try to start discussion with no response. If there is 1000 views and 16 responses there is something fucking wrong. I'm new and try to keep this website stong. Dave works hard to keep it going so participate please.

I understand your frustration, but of course, like on any other forum, some people believe that they have nothing to add, or their English is bad (not all of us here are native English speakers) ....or are just here to check out the pics.
Let's face it, half of the "new" members registered only because Dave made it impossible to look at the pic part of the forum for the unregistered members, and they will remain to be members with zero posts.
But, as I said, I understand you. And will try to contribute more.

Search engine spiders/bots may inflate the article read count as well.

Sorry I posted when I was pissed off. But I guess I got my point across.

Cape Boy,

While I was making the change in design/layout I spent a bit of time going through the site stats and I found that a lot of guests were reading everything and not joining or contributing, particularly to the 'Speedo Photos' forum.

One of the changes I put in place is that 'Guests' cannot see the 'Speedo Photos'. It has made a big difference as I'm activating a lot more new accounts.

I think that and the new layout which looks a lot better (now that I"m getting used to it) has picked up the level of conversation from what it was.

Dave

Hey Cape Boy,
I can understand your frustration as well to not getting any return messages on your post's, been there, done that; for example, I couldn't reply to your steam room post because I haven't visited any steam rooms to make a comment. (PS, by the way, I think this thread, and the steam room thread probably should have been in the "Speedo Talk" section to get appropriate responses, but I digress....)

Some of us can relate to what your conversation is, some cannot, and like Wriggler said, some are concerned with their ability to communicate correctly....we are an international group, for sure!!!

My words of mis-wisdom, keep posting, keep responding when you can, go with the flow, and most importantly, keep speedoing! Snow
