Ok....is it just me
I just looked at the "Who's Online" at the top right of the main page, " There are currently 58 members and 236 guests on-line" for a total of 294 online.
Seems like a odd ratio, if I recall correctly other sites have just a few guests. Ah...never mind, it's just me. Games back on.

So where are our quests spending their time while on the site. Many sites restrict the access of quests.

I see a lot of them are looking at the "for sale or trade" threads and DIY stuff...are they all random hits from search engines?
IE: Larry-Bob from Hamilton ontario types in "skimmer FS canada"

I'm not trying to dwell on the stupid but....it seems wrong to me that there were five times as many guests as members and always way more guests than members.
I'm sure that some stumble across the site as you mentioned Keri and if you use invisible mode it probably puts you as a guest. I wonder if there is anything that CR can do to get people to sign up and participate? I know some sites restrict access to guests like Tom mentioned but that won't necessarily get people participating. Maybe a monthly draw of the new members that month for a gift certificate from a sponsor's store and things like that. Oh well...I guess I should of spent this time on my tank cleaning or something...

I think restrictions is a good idea. not to all threads but to such as DIY and the Bazaar (trading Post). just my opinion. maybe not the diy but defitnitly the Buy/Sell/Trade Posts. If for no other reason but to have a better idea of who you are dealing with.
I have been burned on a RO unit here. new to site at the time and was looking. it works ok i guess but the waste is 30 times the good water. no valves or anything to adjust. unfortunatly this makes it unusable to me as i dont have a drain and tap i can commit to it. this ^ is off topic a bit but it just supports the idea of people needing to be members to trade. if i had taken time out to get to know the people on this site it might not have happened. All IS MY OPINION LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!!! ps i always see more guests than members... there must be links to our diy and such elswhere. i have posted the DIY on Absolute REEF to Find out it is a sister site.

I like the idea of only being able to post in the bazaar if you're a member with more than a coupla posts under your belt. Say minimum 5 or 10 posts...
That'll stop people registering, selling something off & then disappearing off the face of the planet. Kinda keeps things in the Can Reef 'community'. Although, it might restrict the size of the potential audience for the sponsors & sellers I guess... .
