    Is it just me that finds it really infuriating


    Not sure what's happening with this forum or how we encourage more active members, but it would appear that members fall into 4 categories.

    1. Very active, starting threads and keeping the forum afloat really. You know who you are guys

    2. Browsers and occasional posters. To be honest I probably fall into this category

    3. The old faces that pop in every now and again and make some sort of contribution.

    4. The users, the one's that have found this forum and come on asking for help with visas or the like, get some very good answers and advice and then don't come back until they've got another question that needs answering


    Rant over, maybe it's just me

    .
    It takes so many different people to make the world go round, some you just don't seem to see eye to eye with,but we are all here to help and maybe have a little fun along the way.
    I have forgotten most of what people are needing for visas and things like that, so really what am I good for, winding people up
    I understand where you are coming from Simon, that's why I asked the other day for Facebook people just incase my windup's go to far, nudge nudge no what I mean

    You missed the people that join, ask a question, get an answer..... But they never post again. Not even an acknowledgement to say they've read whoever may have answered.

    I too am in that category, I read post every day and reply to those I can.

    When I first married my ex wife who was a Filipina in 2008, the help I received here was amazing.

    I cannot help others on current Philippine info, but like to think I am keeping in touch with members who helped me and saw me through rough times.

    Mick.

    ... and it's [occasionally] the same story when you give out rep - without even receiving so much as the common courtesy of an acknowledgement - it's as though [a few] haven't a clue... ... what rep is!

    What amazes me is the join date when someone comes on who you thought was new,it seems some have joined many many years ago but may have found what they was looking for

    From rep messages I have received, I seem to get into a jumble as to who they are from and often cant thank people because I am not that sure who they are from.

    I do keep trying to give them for good post but am often told to spread them around first.

    Mick.

    's true, guys ... on each of these counts. ... I used to think ALL members were able to see who'd given them *rep, but have, of course, long~since discovered only the Forum Administration + Moderators can access such information.

    This means ... unless the donor specifies who *it's from (personally, I always do!) then the recipient will be none the wiser.

    Looks like I'm a giver and not a taker Having given out 2 reps in this thread (always stating who it's from) but not received any in return.

    Tis the season for giving I suppose

    Which reminds me, it's about time I made small donation to the forum

    I give rep if it allows me, without saying spread it around! But like Mick says, half the time I have no idea who gives me rep.
