| A few questions about the site / message board if you wouldn't mind answering, guests can now post for the benefit of this. - How often do you visit this forum?
- Are you always logged in or do you browse first as a guest?
- What prompts your visit? (or example, a link on facebook / twitter or just part of your daily viewing)
- Do you ever feel intimidated by threads or users? ( vis-à-vis why you don't post often if at all?)
- As a guest, why don't you feel inclined to sign up / sign in?
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to do it, it will help alot.

| 1 & 3 at least once a day as part of my regular internet viewing. 2 & 5 Browse first...only ever log in if i have something to say...don't see the point of logging in if i'm just reading. 4 intimidated no...uninterested yes! (sorry that sounds a little harsh..i guess alot of the threads are movie based and well i'm not a massive movie fan nor am i concerned about Jessica Rabbit and her attributes ) x | |

| I come here all the time through-out the day. Mostly browsing, but log in if I want to leave a comment or vote.
As I knew a lot of the posters before I ever came on here I know that a lot of the comments are tongue in cheek or ironic, but newbies could feel that they are viewing a private members club on occasions, and I'm sure thats not what you want.
Maybe forums have had their day, due to Facebook, I don't know.
However, the King Hermit website is top notch, so you should be encouraging people to visit it, even if they don't go on the forum.

Just an additional observation - the 'board takeover' isn't a good idea because it even puts off regular users - I found not knowing who was who really frustrating and my interest level did seem to wane a little. That's coming from a hardened Hermesh user too. Also, it might be a good idea to have a sticky where we can all introduce who we are so that anyone new to the board can get a quick 'Who's Who' guide to the members - people might not actually realise that they know more people on here than they thought they did. This might make signing up a little less daunting. Not compulsory of course, but for those members who don't mind letting people know who they are. | |

| I think you have made some very good points john , I did feel when i joined a little bit of a outcast , which may have been due to not knowing who was who . In fact i think my first post on here was , can you please tell me who who's ? but i stuck around so there's something to say in that . maybe i like the abuse ha ha. I also think it does'nt matter what forum you join if you are easily offened it best not to join . | |

| I hit here every day, as a matter of fact it's one of my home pages.
I never feel intimidated, but I agree with Jodie and John the forum takeovers made it very hard to figure out who's who.
And yeah a sticky who's who thread is a great idea, Loving the Hermesh still though, and it's bee a great source of help and support for my upcoming charity event on the 18th of December... I may have already mentioned it once or twise... | |
