It was a poorly thought out kludge, with pizz-poor management support given to all of the folks who signed up - especially as it relates to an "...official welcome.." for them by iHub.
How would you know? You joined the site long before the site was sending a Welcome message to new members.
The truth of the matter is that you and Matt decided you wanted to bump up your membership roles, so you could concurrently jack up your display and banner-ad rates to iHub's clients based on more head-count.
You call it truth but it isn't and you really don't have any way of knowing one way or the other. Is this a common practice of yours? If so, I'll be sure to keep it in mind when viewing your investment opinions or "truths".
Now that it hasn't been the ROARING COMMERCIAL SUCCESS that you hoped for, you offer criticism and excuses to cover it up.
I'd call it extremely successful if not for the black eye some spammers, yourself included, are giving us with it.
Nothing is ever seems good enough for you, regardless of how little personal effort you put into it.
Very good. Now stand in front of a mirror and say that 3 more times.
And how dare you act like I don't put any effort into this place.
Poor me...?!? Ha ha ha ha ha.....
I wasn't referring to financial poorness, and you know it. I was referring to your moaning about the MDC somehow being unfair to poor little jmhollen when you are one of the folks who has taken the most unfair advantage of my having not imposed all the right rules on it to begin with. Like not spamming other sites.
"...you're welcome..." for all the new members.
A good 90-95% of the "members" you brought to the site will NEVER post on the site (which is what defines "membership" for me) despite your earlier comment that they'd later become high-quality prolific posters. You abused the MDC rules in such a way that your point count was artificially inflated with a bunch of people who will never post. Don't refute me on the "won't ever post" thing. I have access to the data and you don't. Your claim of people becoming contributing posters 6 months later isn't supported by the data. As I've already mentioned, except in cases where they clicked on a spammed link, a little over 35% of all people who register accounts on iHub write their first post within 5 days. Of the other 65%, more than 90% never do post.
