I think 20 posts for newbies is a great idea!

Allie · 20-05-2008, 03:12 PM

Hi, as you may have guessed, I'm a newbie. I've just been reading an older, closed thread asking why a newbie should have to post twenty nonsensical posts before being allowed to post for sale.

Well, I think having to post twenty times is a great idea, and why should it be assumed that these posts must be nonsensical? This, like all the best forums, is a community and that's what drew me to it in the first place. When you're a newbie you tend to worry that posting a lot is putting yourself forward too much, but since you have to here that's obviously not a problem.

There are so many good things about domaining (as with all true passions) other than buying and selling domains. It's fun to read other people's opinions and questions and to post your own. It's great to read what everyone else is buying and selling, and the kind of names they choose. There's so much to learn and being encouraged to participate in the forum makes this all the easier.

So I think you've got the message - you'll see me around a lot (though maybe not as much as Beeno, lol) and I look forward to reading everything posted by everyone else.

Allie,

Yes it's a community to sell domains, but we were finding that people were registering just to post names every couple hours and making no other contribution to the site.

There are on average 250 members a day on here, finding 20 things to say shouldn't take long at all.

We want members here for the long run who get involved.

Look forward to seeing you around.

I totally agree with your reasoning, Admin. So why the 'but'?

admin · 20-05-2008, 03:33 PM

Ok well I was just explaining it

Allie · 20-05-2008, 03:51 PM

Sorry, Admin. Just me being picky, picky.

Glimglo: Que va? Creo que no es un buen argumento, porque la toda idea es para el beneficio de la comunidad!

I'm a newbie also, and tend to lurk rather then post as im still learning and probably have nothing of value to contribute, however I have no problem with the 20 posts either, even if it will take me a few months to reach that figure, not that i'm desperate to sell anything or have anything worth selling

Also just wanted to say that its a great forum, and i have learned a lot in the small amount of time i have been here from the wealth of experience that is in this community
