I have an easy cure for the growth without participation. Make them have 50 posts before running immediately to the Marketplace to sell their lighthouses. I suspect that we have Wacko's here with several registration names as an attempt to perhaps remain annonymous in the Marketplace. Maybe or maybe not, but in my opinion gaining registered members just for the sake of selling lighthouses here does nothing to strengthen this forum.

Just "my" opinion, the 800+ statistic means little. You wan't real numbers, count the Zip Codes on the Wacko Map. There's your real numbers.

Like I said earlier in another thread, Newbies, speak up, speak out, join in, are you out there? Who are you? Where do you live? What do you collect? How long have you been collecting? Etc.????

imho
