NGF Membership

[GeeBee]

Please add my thanks this is the friendliest and most helpful forum I have found, it is a pleasure to login everyday
       

[Agrippa]

I concur !

[OwL]

Now if every member donated just £1.

How good would the forum be then.

[kesdrive]

I do not post very often but look in most days. If I don't the posts take ages to get through.
Many many thanks to all who make all this possible.

I posted a similar thought in the aborted "Penny for the guy thread"

"I was thinking that it would be better to contemplate how many members we have, then to divide that into the cost of a new laptop and I'd be in for a tenner or two to get you back in pronto ! Rather than all this going nowhere offtopic stuff !"

In which my 'you' was Tank and I was talking about a new laptop for him for all his hard work and unfortunate circumstance !

but it didnt get a following ! ( or should I say 'didnt trend' in this new social media world ?! )

So, we have at least £10+1 so far , , , , ?

Mind u, I am unsure of Tank's status, I thort the airing cupboard had cured it but PM correspondence suggests he is still on iPad ?

Dont the mods and admin have a tally on number of active members to do a wee division ?

[Pengi]

We do have statistics.

We are grateful for any donations that members wish to give to help with the running costs of the forum and a very big  to all of you that have donated.

[Tank]

Thanks for the suggestion RChook.  No need for everyone to feel like they need to do that, but I thank you for the idea.  The laptop works for about 8-10 minutes each time before I get the 'blue screen of death', so I am able to use it for quick periods, but I'm not able to design anything for fear of the laptop crashing!

No iPad I'm afraid, just an iPhone and the use of my desktop PC when I'm at work.

[RChook]

for fear of the laptop crashing!

ah, no,, understood,,, not conducive to great thoughts !

"No iPad I'm afraid, just an iPhone "
sorry, my bad, not used to these modern iThingies

Bigric > "towards a NGF membership of 3000"
Sprintex > "Inevitably some of those members will be 'ex' "
me> "admin have a tally"
Pengi> We do have statistics.

go on,
dont keep us in suspenders !
Wot's the proportion    nearly3000:MoreOrLessActive ?

[Tank]

What do you regard as active?  There are 1489 members who have never posted, and 677 with more than 1 but below 10 posts.  So, 762 with 10 or more posts, but many have become inactive for various reasons.

[RChook]

What do you regard as active? 

Quite so, that is the prob.
I had nothing upon which to evaluate the 3000 vs. £1 , which is why I said MoreOrLess ! and consequently raised the wonder

Thanks for the insight to the stats, very interesting
"There are 1489 members who have never posted"
Gosh, that is most surprising.

However 762, if they could be persuaded, would still obtain an NGF laptop of fair capability, I expect OwL will organise it , any minute now , ,

Thats guilted me into handing over some readies!

[Tank]

Thank you Jerry, and to everyone else who donates.   It's always appreciated.

As I've said before, there is no intention in asking for a membership fee for the forum.  I feel it would change the dynamics of the forum completely. 

Perhaps in the future there may be a premium area or such?  I don't know yet.  I'm struggling with time so extra paperwork is a no no!

Thats guilted me into handing over some readies!

Keep up the good work; I think this is one of the nicest places on the web...

Keep up the good work
