New members

It isnt the first time I have been asked about my spare time, by yourself as well I think, so now people know.

I am getting to know how certain posters operate. It is an eyeopener.

I can even anticipate some of it.

I am a bit annoyed with myself that it has taken so long to work some things out.

Who supplies the information for click-bait?

There are websites which list the most effective ways to get your ad clicked on (to get potential customers) , and others where you can sign up your site to have ads on it from firms who will pay you per click. You have to have a popular site with a lot of ads from these organisations to make much money, but there must be money in it or they wouldnot exist.

"how certain posters operate" sounds a bit like a deliberate policy of manipulation. I can't answer for anyone else, but I tend to react spontaneously to posts.

I react spontaneously too. But some others are doing it differently. Playing the poster and not the ball, or whatever it is called, is one way.
We all do what we want though.

I wouldnt mind knowing how many competition and bookclub people remain as lurkers. And possible clickers I guess.
I dont expect gransnet to reply to that by the way!

I'm a newbie to gransnet-joined last month. Must join the Bookclub

Yeah!
Welcome, as I dont think I have said welcome to you before

Can I ask what you think of the site? If I dare ask?

Jingle , don't forget the eating that's consequential to the baking! That takes serious time as well.

One thing I do notice, is that lots of newbies are baffled by the acronyms. I presume you have found them by now?

I think I'm losing the will to live...........

Plus the drinking time as a nice glass of wine would go very well with baked goodies. Then, if properly done, more hours pass whilst comatose.

snooze.....

Yes please Cari! But not the mini ones, the full size one please, with almonds on it.

Bored with your thread and how it's going , soon?
Join the club!

I wonder how many 'new joiners' leave after reading a few of the current threads?

Lona

soon you have posted 15 times on this thread at a rough calculation.

!!

Quoting Lona "I wonder how many 'new joiners' leave after reading a few of the current threads?"

Nah! I bet the cranky threads bring 'em in in shed loads. #humannature

I wonder how many of those who leave in shock-horror disgust or just out of boredom actually bother to deregister though?

They'd presumably still be counted as members, as will all the compers, so it must be extremely difficult to calculate the number of active members.
