I read the title and thought this was going to be a survey on how many of us Stagger!!!???
It's tough to get to those people that join, yet don't post. As far as it being for the monthly give-aways. If they never post, they aren't entered into the contests. I know I joined a long time before I ever posted. Then, one day, MFinn reminded me of this site. This was as I was becoming more addicted to Zoanthids. Ever since then, I've been posting regularly. Darned you guys and being the best forum out there for Zoanthids!!!
Another thing I've noticed. When I became involved in reef keeping, I signed up for TONS of forums. A year or so later, I noticed that I have TONS of forums in my bookmarks that I never even went to. So, I started going to them, reading, and deleting the ones I wasn't as interested in. Not saying that R2R isn't interesting, quite the opposite, it's one of the best. But how many people are new in the hobby and have done the same thing by joining every saltwater forum they could find.
I know that some forums, when you haven't posted in a long time, automatically send me an email, reminding me of the community and inviting me to participate. Is R2R set up to do that?
