Gang,

I'd like your feedback on this.

The Texas Chapter has just about 800 members (if I did the math correctly). About 50 members have 0 posts in all of FTE. And the next 100 have 5 or less posts. About 50 haven't visited the chapter since 2011. Another 100 haven't visited the chapter since 2012.

There is some overlap between the low post counts and the non-visits. And obviously I do not want to eliminate someone who just joined, but if you haven't visited the site in two years and your post count is in the single digits..... In what way are you contributing to the chapter?

I propose removing everyone who has not visited the site since 2014 (about 400 members). And I will then look closely at anyone with a single digit post count.

Remember, I am just proposing removing these folks from the Texas Chapter, not removing them from FTE. We can always add them back if they become active again.


Your thoughts?

Not to mention, these welcome new member threads are posted all the time and they push down the threads with actual info or questions.

 

I still peek in every once in a while. I have been hanging out in the dark side alot lately.

 

what ever happened to Rock
can I be an honorary Texas member

 

Gigger,

There are two theories about Rock. 1) He got busy with work, family, etc. and just forgot about us (work related amnesia). And 2) Rock is really a secret agent spy and he is undercover overseas preparing to single handedly over throw a brutal paramilitary regime, and set King Abu back on his rightful throne.

I'm kinda partial to the second theory.

Also, you are a honorary Texas Chapter member! That honor was bestowed on you long ago. In fact if you ever come to Texas we plan to throw a HUGE parade in your honor.

Ok Tim, u da man, I also agree with #2 & Rocky,
I'll let you know when I head down there to make sure TX has enough red wine for me .......

 

Hey folks! I vote with Tim, I know I'm not too active all the time (more of a lurker at times) FTE has changed alot since I've been a member (part of the reason I go inactive I get tired of the "clickish" b.s. not anyone in the Texas chapter but in the truck sections)

Where's the other Robert? Plumber01?

 

This is what has been taking my activity

 

hi folks, it's been a while. i know i don't post a lot, but things changed drastically for me when my son passed. it's taken me a long while to be more socially active, but i'm working my way there. Tim knows where to get me. on Facebook. lol. it's good to see some of y'all are still here.

 

SNUGGY!

It is always good to hear from you. As work out your grief, remember we are your friends and we are always here for you.
