A shocking revelation

[Bat21]

One thing this new software has reviled is the actual active membership of the Club.

Of the 1,177 registered users of the site only 694 are paid up club members.

Of those 694 Club members 348 have not logged on for over 3 months.

By my reckoning that means we have an active club membership of just 346

346 members in a club that is 4 years old is shocking considering how many Nissan & Ford Mavs there are in the UK alone :doh

so now would be a good time to sort out the club stickers... i want to help promote the club... and i have seen nothing but nissans and mav's down here


i suspected something like this might show up eventually... hence all the questions


oh and co . uk aint working yet so i guess some will be locked out now

well till they try the com

Bat 21, sent you PM

we need fo find out why poeple have left. or not payed for a second year.. chasing more members if theres a problem with what we do is time wasting. youll not keep the new members either..


Extreme, .co.uk is OLD site. no one can got there its all here now. well when Bats had the time for clean and tidey it all up..

It's really to be expected I think. I'm guessing that people join to get the info they need and then forget about us all. I don't think that it's a shadow on past management of the site in fact quite the opposite keeping so many members active.

probably cause another argument saying something.... but i really dont want to go down that road, its all there in yellow and blue oh and black...

you just need to look at the figures !
we average 10- 15 members day time
35-40 night time.
we was getting less than 1 member a day now i guess we average 2 a day so its doubled since the new boss

but the facts are we get around 45-50 members logging in every day...
im assuming thats around 40-45 very active members ... the ones who will be here to meet and greet new members

the rest come and go as and when they need info or have time playing on the net. but most members wont have been here for a while
and if they tried today they'd go to co.uk and not get in

one things for sure we need more members and we need to be nice to them when they join... comments like
ive been here longer so i know more or simillar
i know more about caravans than you
will only hurt the club cos people wont stay

i often think when reading something that is clearlly getting out of hand, its better to say nothing if its not going to be nice... just walk away and have a break

"but thats only a small problem"

the big problem is why we are not encouraging people to join in and have fun. what is it that will make people want to join, stay, and join in

i did ask a while back...
what is it you like about the club
what would you like to change in the club- to make it more fun
what dont you like about the club


" and yes nman your welcome to say extremly anoying people/questions i wont take it to heart prommis"

we are all a mixed bunch from varied backrounds so your input is needed so the club can see how to make it work

i think if we all sat down for 10 mins and thought about it, with computers off, make a list on a peice of paper likes dis likes and wants. then add your thoughts on here . we would all have a clearer picture of what turns members on

its not about me saying i want changes... its the stats saying there has to be changes - to stay alive

none of us wants to loose it - so why not try to put our heads together


extremelly trying

A shocking reverlation

Well look at me I come on here night after night ,enjoy the banter ,camaradary, storys ,
and the crack ,my wife sheila will also have a read .we were sad to see the arguments and back biting that went on ,"problebly due to the insecurity of the site + the possibly of closing down.
now we have a new owner and a new format things are settling down again.
I havent run the terrano for nearly a year now ,so something else must pull me back night after night.
see above for answer.

I'm a new member and have no knowledge of what has been happening behind the scenes, but i will tell you this i bought my nissan terrano drove home in it got on the computer and typed in nissan club and this is how i found the site.

I read some of the forums and realised there is a wealth of information on this site that has already helped me with problems i'm having i got a big welcome when i threw myself in the deep end and told you all i'm a reformed land rover driver.

i would be more than happy to advertise the club but i can't find out how to order stickers or download leaflets, i think if this info was made available and merchandise was obtainable then this would help to advertise the club

anything i can do to help just let me know

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

tbh i have feared this, as can see day in day out its same old names posting.

also when go into member list how many never post or get beyond 'hi' or their
first question. maybe they are happy watching and trawling forums for existing
advice.

I would suggest members raise any issues, or where they feel club /site is short
either by pm'ing admin or a mod or posting openly in threads like this.

we really dont bite, well not very hard lol, and just want to see this place get
better.

 

[Lee3197]

I'm a reformed LR driver and fairly new to the club. If I don't post every night, I am trawling the site every night. I have found everyone to be very welcoming, friendly and full of good advise for my silly "I've just bought a Maverick" questions.

I've said before, but I'll say it again... I'm also a member of The Discovery Owners Club. They have Local Sections, (usually arranged by County), that have Monthly Meets, (usually at a Pub). The section is run by a Local Section Rep. This way Members get a local contact, meet other local members and can arrange their own events, laning days etc. They also still have the benefit of anything happening Nationally.

Right, that's my 10p in.

Cracking site, thank you to everyone, Lee.

I love this site:thumb2
good friends varied topics
Help with the problems with the trucks
meets in different parts of the counrty
And jokes to put a smile on your face
Great what more could you ask for:thumbs
