Today we had 7 guests on simultaneously. Who knows how many we had throughout the day

My question:
What turns you, a lurker, into a member that posts?
Is there a particular reason you don't sign up to become a member? For example, is it because all of our forums are open -- to members and non members?

remek,

I think it is because the forum is still "growing." I signed up last month and I woulld sign on every few days. The activity was very low, because not a lot of people know about this place yet. However, in one month, the threads and the members have grown 10 fold. Who knows what things will be like in another month. As you said in another post, this place is very new.... "If you build it, they will come" is a popular baseball movie quote. Rem-e-k, you built it, and they will come.

rk,

I agree with timez. In time (no pun intended), there will be tons of people here.

Hm .. When I'm not loged in, I can't view the forum? Maybe it's just me.

Maybe the fist ten treads should be open, and then rest maybe closed for non-members.

And why is there that Image Verification?

[remek]

Toddi,

What do you mean by "I can't view the forum?" Do you mean you can view the threads (with the actual posts) or do you literally can't see the forum?

[Toddi]

Sorry, I CAN see the forum, but cannot see the treads, when I'm not loged in.

But maybe should the non-member be allowed to see some treads. Don't think this should harm anything. (:

"why buy the cow when you get the milk for free". They have no motivation to join unless something happens: injury or concerns, hitting plateaus, etc.

The way I see it though, is that when your a beginner thats the most important part, because you would want to PE correctly right from the start and posting on the forums help.

I think most of the newer people to PE just follow one single routine outlined on the main page or in this forum. I have been learning and still learning of new methods and techniques, and a forum is a great place to experiment with others to see if they get results from the new techniques too

I've just looked at some other PE forums, and there can you read and learn just as much as you want - but you cannot post or get advice as long as you are not a member. I don't believe they have any trouble getting new members.

Every fool can write; PE works, just pull your dick. But who would believe this. The reason I started to believe in PE, was because I could look all I wanted at these forums/fora, and I could read about a huge amount of people writing about how they succeeded. Then i thought to my self; so many men will not waste their time on this, if it didn't work, and I joined.

"why buy the cow when you get the milk for free" - well in this case I believe both the cow and the milk is free. So you can get the whole package(cow, membership) or just what you need(milk, the info you need to PE).

- This is why I think the forum should be open for everyone. I always see more guests than members online. Always around 3 and often more, don't know how many just take a quick look and then disappear to never return. But I think more will register if they could see what it is we write about.

So, legato, have you ever PEed before, or are you still considered a "newbie?"

happy thanksgiving

@remek. I've known of PE since junior in high school, now I'm a junior in college. However, back then all i knew was jelqing and the minimal research I did stated that it didn't work. So i've done it on and off, now that I've found forums like these that actually show that they work, its more of a motivation for me to actually start and stick with a routine.

So I guess I would be a newbie to actually exercising the penis (pun intended), but not new to the concept.
