Eddie57 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm relatively new to the forum but have been surprised with the vast number of guests online. At peak times I have noticed more than double the number of guest against members!!! seems strange. Are these members who don't log in or people just having a nose about. I would have thought that if you interested in this type if forum then you would make a bit of effort and join up.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandalf Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Recently there has been enormous interest in the row between wildfowlers and BASC concerning the General Licence and the inclusion of greylag geese. The main battle was going on here at PW. This probably increased the number of visitors over a short time period - About two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 It will be the police, RSPCA, LACS, RSPB and the cretins from Animal Aid & PETA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Quite a few members don't always log on automatically, also a lot of people browse before they join, + the others that have already been mentioned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Quite a few members don't always log on automatically, also a lot of people browse before they join, + the others that have already been mentioned... As above. I drop in on other forums now and then, such as those hosted by the 'opposition', just to see what they're up to. Don't you? The LACS one, though not a forum as such was quite good for a while and I've had some really long dialogue with some of them. When I first went on the LACS website, and asked for proof of some of the ludicrous claims some of the posters were making, the then head honcho (can't recall his name now....Taylor?) told me my comments were no longer welcome as they were 'pure drivel' and 'contributed nothing' to the website, which made me smile no end. My smile turned to joyous glee when less than a fortnight later he was sacked, arrested and subsequently prosecuted for fiddling LACS funds! Brilliant! I had loads of fun pointing out to them that one when no mention of it was forthcoming on their site. I persevered on their website and some woman took up the fight on behalf of LACS. We had a good sparring match going for a while, and I knew I was starting to rattle her with persistent challenging of their facts and admission to killing things because I enjoyed shooting, when her grammar and spelling became more and more erratic. Great fun. Their arguments rarely hold water and fall apart under close, factual scrutiny. Give it a go...you'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Also, if someone googles a subject ... let's say 410 reloading ... then PW comes up a fair bit too, wherever in the world they may be. Go to one of those threads for a browse, and it's another guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
