ALLDEAF FORUM - to REGISTER FIRST?

[Kalista]

If I wanted AllDeaf to be a completely private forum, I would've made it so a long time ago.

Last month when I was in SF with my girlfriend, we met this hearing law student who was telling us that he tried searching for information about hearing/deaf relationship and found AllDeaf. He said he learned something from the experiences posted by our members here, and with that knowledge he knew his way around this deaf girl he started dating for the first time.

If AllDeaf was a closed forum, this law student or others would've never found this site. And how did he find out about AllDeaf? Simply by searching through search engines, and the only way to get our site spidered and listed is by making it public, not private.

In addition, I have to say I agree with those of you who think a closed forum restricts potential members. I know for a fact that if I visited an entirely closed forum, and could not see what it's about, the chances are I will not waste my time and bother registering.

About these lurkers that come in here from their shithole they call a forum only to copy and make fun of other members' posts/pictures, they seriously need to get a life. You know who you are.

Good Point Alex !! Obviously, you are the cupid.

I did not find anything funny about ur post, Mods going to think you are complaining and they would lock the thread, If you are joking then put a laugh at the end of ur post otherwise it did look like u were complaining.

Whoa !! Wait a mintue... This is point out of this topic. Do not need to attack other member. If you do not like the thread then do not need to nasty things to other the member.

Take deep breath and long walk... If it does not work. Can I cook the egg on your head to fry ?

I agree that this forum should be open to the general public like Alex and some of you already mentioned in this thread...all the better to bring in people who are very much curious or when they are surfing the 'net, then once they come here, it will give them an opportunity to visit and post something and go from there. Let's keep Alldeaf open to the general public online without having anyone register first!

that's exactly what I have in mind.

anyway, I guess I have to agree with Alex, since this is his message board after all and I have to respect it but if I were him, I would make it private and just respect our members' posts and backgrounds, etc...but of course, I dont see a problem for this to be open to public, and would help get more members and stuff...but I just feel that if the "lurkers" keep attacking our privacy and stuff like that...then all hell breaks lose exactly like last year, you know? anyway, it's up to Alex and I support his message board in any way as a true member of AD.

Yes, I agreed its his choice.
Look like this way, its open to everyone, and it helps to get more members to register than any other deaf forums.
Its good to see how popular AD is.

Yes, I second that.

I notice that AD is more popular than other forums.

Yes, I´m agree with you, Sabrina. Alex is definietly Cupid

I meet lovely people here & made friends with them. We contact each other through AIM, MSN chat.... I would never meet them if Red Rum didnt pull me to join Alex´s forum.

I hope the new members of AD will continue to be positive, contributing participants than to be backstabbing lurkers which could tarnish this forum.

Where are the lurkers ? *looking in my black bag, getting something out*...

Ok, I'm ready .... .. I'm just teasing , the best thing we possibly can do is ignore them as Liebling had just said above...
