Whats with all the Noobies?
 

Why has there been a sudden explosion in the number of new members all of a sudden? Did some part of the internet collapse? I just find it weird that all of a sudden there is 60 new members in one day.

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

some pictures jeff posted on the internet got some people all excited and such and since you have to log in to see the board lots of people joined up.

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

I disabled guests to view the forum, so people have to sign up. It's just temporary, we were getting 90-120 users online at once with people just browsing. Just trying to figure out some ways to speed up the forum for you guys so its not lagging.

awwwww...Jeff you do care about us :P

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

Well that explains it. Thanks for looking out for the regulars ;)

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

hahah that was cute..but if they sign up doesnt it take more room...im learning about this ---- in school right now....

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

No ----? That's a pretty good idea. I see sooooo many "guests" browsing all the time. I don't know why they just browse and not post or at least sign up? ??? I was wondering why we had so many new users all of the sudden.

Sweet! No lag! Noobs are ok, just as long as they read the FAQ's first...besides, we were all "new" at some point.

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

it should actually stay like this.

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

I was thinking the same thing. 58 new users already today. :o It won't be long until we are the size of HT.

yeah but it will probably discourage some people who just browse and would never use the board for it's intended purpose (making cars stupid fast on a tight budget)

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

true that...i signed up but didnt actually post til i knew a bit about what i was bout to talk about.

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

HT averages 800~1500 users online at once :o

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?

lmao, i checked that post. and got his email addy. which I will NOT post here. but if jeffs wants it to run a email vs user search he can ban him off of here ;) lmao

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

no, i think the way how its configured right now it should stay this way. makes sense. ---- H-T. atleast there are a few good guys there.

I am one of the new people that signed up recently. I couldn't care less about cars. I come for the cool links, funny videos and free porn. Hell, just today I learned how to make a tuna sandwich. HMT is useful for much more than making fast cars on a tight budget.

Re:Whats with all the Noobies?
 

is that why i have to log in every time i come to the site

Maybe if we charged to be a member, like $5 to get a username, that way we could keep it smaller, and if it gets huge it'll pay for itself. Plus if we get really big, we can sell more advertising...
