donetao Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Free PC Help Forum is a old forum that was started in 2003 I believe. Free PC Help Forum had almost 7,000 members when the forum was discontinued. The members I see that log on every day registered in July of 2014. A couple of the old members have recently came back. Six of my friends have registered and they log on and comment regularly. Why aren't the old members coming back to Free PC Help Forum??It's has been up and going nearly 9 months sense ExTs started again. Why aren't we contacting the old members and inviting them to join us. Surely some of you know where they are. These are questions that IMHO are good questions. Do you have any ideas how we can grow just a little faster, or how to contact the old members?? I realize that it takes time for the word to get out, just wondering why it takes this long. I wish I had some good answers. Maybe you do!! Are you on other forums. Invite them to join us here. I know I started a similar thread before, probably lost in archives. Maybe some new members have ideas! Thank you! Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
FPCH Admin AWS Posted March 14, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted March 14, 2015 They have been contacted. Most of them have moved on from online forums because of jobs, family or other responsibilities. The site was offline dead for almost 5 years. In that time people changed. They might no longer be interested in helping on tech sites due to the reason above. Since this site is basically an old site that has restarted we have to bring in new members and not depend on the old. Most of them are gone and will never be back. The users that have requested to be removed have already been removed. The users who have invalid emails will be removed soon. If you visit other sites add a signature linking back here. If you know of other people that would benefit from being a member here then ask them to join. I actively promote this site on every site I am a member of. I also do other things to make sure we are found through the search engines. 1 Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
donetao Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 Hi Boss I saw you were viewing this thread. Can you give us the history behind Free PC Help Forum and what happened, if it's not to personal. I guess I just figure once addicted to a help forum, you would always be addicted. 7 of our new members followed me here. I'm glad to hear the old members have been contacted. Have you had any reply?? Just wondering out load. Time for me to suck up a little my friend. I would always come back to one of your forums no matter what caused it to go dead. I think @shortordercook is also a life time follower Surely some of the oldies still want to help and will come back soon!! Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(

donetao Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 Hi! It's no secret who invited me to Free PC Help Forum. Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
donetao Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks for link friend! I hope everyone clicks on it. I was impressed. I hope you are also thinking about some of the things we have discussed .;);) Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
donetao Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 "At the time of the crash the site had 1.5+ million posts and 62 thousand members." That's a lot of members. Sure would be sweet to get all those back. 1/2 would be nice for now. Do you know how many of the oldies have came back to Free PC Help Forum @AWS ?? I know curiosity killed the cat. These are things that pop in my head and make me wonder; if you know what I mean!! Do they not make you wonder also Bob?? I think you know some my thoughts Boss! Why aren't some of these old members showing up?? That just keeps nagging me. I think Dougie is our oldest member and I believe he was probably here when the forum went dead! Are there others??Strange to this old country boy!! Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
donetao Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Hi fiends! Some thing is wrong with this picture. Please look through the New Introductions section from 2015-2005! 309 threads on 16 pages. We are not going any where! This has to change!! Reason for edit!! OOps forgot the link!! Surely someone here can do the math only 16 introductions in 9+ months. What am I missing here?? Is there a clue some place here?? http://freepchelp.forum/f/20/ Edited March 15, 2015 by donetao Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
