I see a lot of users without accounts lurking the forums...why not come out of hiding and join us? The more people we have talking about a topic, the more we have to talk about.

Block access to the forums for guests if it is possible, that will force them to sign up.

You can let guess lurk for around 5-10 threads then after that make them sign up :)

Nah, I want people to be able to "try before they buy", so to speak. We have a great forum here, and if they read it, they're likely to sign up.

Also, FWIW, we do have a few things that are "blocked" to non-users. Any attachments and a few subforums won't show up unless you're logged in as a member.

so did Dino ever give visitors the boot after a short time "Lurking"??

Absolutely not. You can lurk all you want, but you're going to be better off joining us!

I guess sometimes people are just shy? or inexperienced with forums?? Best to atleast give them a 'try before buy' option. Rather than considering enforcing login.

What about the search function? I found that most forums disable search for guests. That is usually what leads me to sign up to a forum.

We allow searches for non members, but it's a pain since you have to type in the CAPTCHA key.

I was once a lurker...I felt guilty and ashamed..hiding in the shadows like some kind of weirdo perv'. Then a wise man who called himself 'kooldino' talked me down out of the lurking tree. I feel much better now

Yeah, but now everyone knows you as moose... should have stayed in the shadows.

MooseX
03-18-2008, 04:27 PM
well I'm not ashamed of being called Moose. The moose is a fine animal. Many people around the world love the moose and have moose antlers as hatracks or bar decorations

ddawg1130
03-18-2008, 04:29 PM
i wouldn't mind moose antlers as a hatrack. but saying that they love moose and have moose antlers as hatracks is a little contradictory isn't it? i mean don't you have to kill the animal to get the antlers.

Signed on and good to go! Besides...you cannot view some jpeg images without being a member. :shades: So...after my trip to Tokyo, Japan, I will place an order for my EVO X! Just still struggling between white and black. White shows a lot of the cars body panels where black is more rare and ice cold! :rock:

Hello Im D

Just wana put my 2cents in and say Congrats to the peeps who started this forum, my first experience was i PM'ed a moderator about something not working and they replied in a nice friendly manner and a few weeks later the problem was solved, very impressive.
Ive been with a local forum group for about 2 years, all talk about Subarus not much about the EvoX and thats when i found this site.
Personally i have learnt more about my EvoX here, than talking to my local dealer.
What made me sign up 2 years ago was an Introduction Thread they had, I posted Hi and what car i was driving and 2 days later i had 20 replies of Welcome Aboard, made ya feel really welcomed to something you never done before, anyway, just thought id share this with you coz its a nice "Ice Breaker Thread" if new to this.

Anyhow, Im not a great poster but theres alot of good crap to read here.
Cheers
