I like the 'fetchit' - but the 'step n' tells me a tipple was at hand If you're there Stephen - welcome !
When you click on “Members” at the top of the page, then it changes to the membership page, and at the top right is where it shows any birthdays for that day, as well as a graph of the latest members. Unfortunately, many of these are just some sort of spammers, and not people who actually want to join the forum. If they don’t use an actual name, then they never even show up in the member list, but otherwise they do show up. I always wait for someone to make a post or announce their presence before I assume that they are actually going to be more than a spam person. Sometimes, people join and then just lurk, but I have not seen this person lurking either, so until we see them writing a post, I think we might be premature to welcome them.
Quite a few people register an account, are accepted, yet never post. Many never come back after registering.
Welcome Stephen. Hope to meet you, do some surfing so you can see all the great things and members here. .
I may have been here just a little longer than you @Micki Pembroke but I already know that. I go with the flow.. know when I'm beat.
Fun Fact: Perhaps it is because this forum is unrelentingly right-wing. Why this should turn off people with a different viewpoint, I don't know. Maybe it's not worth the challenge.
Sometimes I forget that liberals can't tolerate any opinion that hasn't been given to them by their masters. If there's anyone in the room who disagrees with them, liberals consider it to be a hostile environment. This is why most of their efforts are geared toward trying to shut people up. We don't do that here. You might consider it conservative, but I consider it civility.
