Most of you know that you have to be a member to read in the TBR forum, but when I look at the board statistics I see a number of members that have never posted or participated on the forum lurking around in TBR.

As you all know the board is a free resource, but I find it a bit selfish that people are continuously using our free resources without giving back to the community. In other words, they have never posted, never introduced themselves, and never contributed any content.

So the question I have for all the contributing members is should we just ignore it or should we implement a change.

I was thinking of restricting the TBR forum to anyone who has not reached 25 posts.

I think if you want to use our resources you should at least contribute to it's content.


Opinions on please....

As we all know, TBR is also not on google so it encourages us to share among our domaining friends without fear that an end user will see what we bought on TBR. So I really like theinvestor @theinvestor suggestion that to use the TBR forum you have to maintain a certain post count per month.

That basically assures that only domainers would read that section making that part of the board pretty exclusive to TBR participants.

Totally agree. Last thing we need is an end user joining and being able to access all that information easily.

Yes, agreed and this way we can discuss acquisition cost without having to worry about end users seeing it.
In reality that's pretty slim anyways because the forum is not indexed and guests are not allowed to view it but increasing the restrictions on that forum might be a good idea. Hopefully it would also encourage the lurkers to participate increasing the content. In the end forums are content driven and to thrive we need new content every day. I will admit I struggle that so much of it depends on me. I'm happy every time a member opens a new topic and that is why the members with the most TOPICS are considered the most valuable members.
