shedalot Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Isn't it annoying when someone goes through the trouble of registering here, then introduces themselves, and people welcome them, only to find that a lot of these people never reply, or return at all? </complaint for the day> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damorulz Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 sounds like you need a day off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I've done this on many a forum myself and the reason I do it is uselly because you think your going to see more once your registered than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Can I have a day off? lol sheesh don't know what i'd do It's a good question Kevin, you don't have to be a member to view the forums there's nothing to hide from people, and I feel that by having it "open" it can reach more people and more people can get the information they may be looking for. I don't agree with having to sign up to something just to research about your dog - if you need info on feeding / health issues etc and google brings you here then you should be able to see it Some people though are used to having to register for things and wonder if there's a different area for members only - well there is - the chat room, but that's all Hopefully though the warm welcomings that new members are getting encourage people to return and join in the fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yeah, Kev you deffo need a day off. . . . Lol but I agree we have nearly 1500 members from all over the world if they all posted at least once per week the forum would be on fire. . . i think some people come looking for the solution to a problem (usually runny poo) get what they need and either just lurk or never come back sad really I,m at work on my smartphone. . .but then maybe I'm addicted. . .lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with having to sign up to something just to research about your dog - if you need info on feeding / health issues etc and google brings you here then you should be able to see it See, it's great to do it that way. I agree that people shouldn't have to register to research huskies. I also know what you mean by people registering just to see what else there may be for them. Anyway, there have been many a time when I reply to these "introductions" and found that it was a waste of my time. So, I'm at the point where I will wait to see newbies actually return before welcoming them. Oh, and I need a WEEK off. I haven't had that in years!

Lana Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 maybe after realizing what it intel for the care of a husky they realize...maybe this isnt the pet for me? Then again you know must of us are on here really committed to this site as well and enjoy the people on here. Family takes time to get to know one of us and maybe sometimes we might rub people the wrong way with our comments/advice/suggestion. I have been guilty of that at a time but i make all efforts to ensure them that i mean no disrespect and apologize if they misinterpreted one of my comments.

SiberHusky97 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 lol, I have done that before, but I hope to stick around here. If I quit posting, it's because I have the attention span of a peanut (No wonder I love huskies) lol so I simply forget that I registered on the forum... it's not something I will do intentionally. I don't have any husky runny poo issues either lol I keep my furry boy on a very diverse diet to build up his stomach strength hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrod Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I already belong to so many forums that if I ever kept up with all of them I would never be able to do anything!!! So I gotta pick and chose sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
