Slow start - update 7-14-11

Thanks to the few folks who have signed up so far - I do not expect many but hope there may yet be some more to come along and so make the forum successful.  It is, as has been mentioned, somewhat of an experiment but it is hoped it just may help encourage a few folks to find others in their area.

We'll let it run for a reasonable period of time to give it a good chance and see how it goes.

7-14-11 ....... Still seeing very slow input - pity - as I feel with enough posters we could expect things to pick up and build to a useful level.  I have heard of some folks who had problems getting their registration confirmation emails ........ if this occurs again and assuming this post has been read, then please notify at jpfo@jpfo.org

GunLink:
Hi, jpfowebman et al.

I think that initially there was a problem with activation emails being sent to the spam folder but they were getting sent out (mostly) because some people were still being able to sign up.

More recently there was an issue with the forum mailer and activation emails weren't being sent out in a number of cases.  I believe this is now resolved and emails should be getting through just fine.  All but a very few members who were "awaiting activation" are now activated.

We've also put up a thread to help those who may be encountering issues with registration/activation.

To help with uptake, we occasionally promote the JPFO "meet up" forum and individual posts on the GunLink Twitter feed.  It seems to generate a few "views" but not sure how it does for getting new posters.

jpfowebman:
Thx for the info - maybe we'll see a bit of improvement.

I was aware when setting this all up that it was somewhat experimental - as, probably those wishing to liaise with others in their area are probably in a significant minority.  Hoping tho that as it does gain some more traction, its growth may be more exponential and so achieve some success over time.

This is my first post, and it took me a bit to find my way into this forum. I only recently became aware of the JPFO website, and glad I found it. I live in the NW corner of MT and wonder if any other like minded people live in the area.

jpfowebman:
Welcome!  Glad you found us.

Still very slow in the forum but ever hopeful that as a few more folks sign in we may just get enough to serve the designed purpose.
