No medals for..

[Alex]

It's not the same over there is it ?  I can't put my finger on it, newbies have certainly jumped in feet first, but there's something missing. 
Could it be us lot ?   

[crabbyob]

well we no longer live there, but the reason for that is well documented, like you i pop in usually to deposit a photo that i cant post here...

[klondike]

Suspiciously large numbers of newbies TBH.... 

[crabbyob]

but whose counting 

[klondike]

usually to deposit a photo that i cant post here...

Technically can't post or too embarrassed.

If you mean the lack of the editor that adds crud throughtout posts well that is still available.

You can change your profile here to have the joy of it always
https://letschat.club/index.php?action=profile;area=theme and check Show WYSIWYG editor on post page by default near the bottom.

You can select it temporarily by clicking

Or you can just post in the link highlight it and click as I just have twicw putting those buttons into this post.

[klondike]

but whose counting 

I do look there and see large numbers of new names. Whether you lot put them off before or there is some other reason I couldn't say. All I will say is that if two joined in a month before it was a lot of newbies.

If you recall I set somrthing up to track who was active and whether they had registered here. That is no longer public but it still gets run from my Pi and I can still grab results. This is a list of profiles....

Plenty of old ones but a lot of names new to me as well.

What new large amount of Newbies? I can only see two. Reem is doing a lot of posting and good for her, it's good to get one that joins in. I wish the member list was not closed, blasted pest that, why is it closed.

[Scrumpy]

I see my name still there..

you are probably correct not huge numbers. Some names that were unfamiliar have been members a while in fact but apparently not posting much.

Doing a trawl through the list I see...

..and thats it. Maybe half a dozen names I didn't recall but they have been members a while and just not posted.

[Alex]

One person has got three names on that list

Eh Who? 

[klondike]

I can guess what the other two names are 

So not a newbie then.
