Approaching 500

Post by fasterdammit »

11am EST Wednesday 23 March ...

I say we hit 500 by Saturday, easy.

Now we just gotta get the rest of the crew posting instead of lurking ...
Just because you're not dead doesn't necessarily mean you're living, either.

What's going on here? Are others discovering this beautiful bike or are all the lurker owners out there finally realizing it's smart to be a Ducatipaso member?

i think the lockdown of the downloads area spurs people to join (so they can grab files) there's a feature on the site that allows me to purge unused members... tempted to use it after a spell just to bring us down to reality. :laugh:

I 'm pretty sure there has been an acceleration in new membership during the last four to six weeks. I think the last fortnight was the fastest. I wasn't counting, but I think it could've been almost two a day.

Oof ... that's only 30% of the membership. Buggers. Well, it is a pretty tight circle of interest ... so, more for us! :D

Well, don't forget a lot of Paso owners don't speak English. Hm, that makes you think ... how many, and how to involve them. Also, of course, it's a good way to learn or practice English, in the context of something that's important to you. Many people need to or want to learn English.

Also makes me realise how important pics must be to this section of the membership.

Good one, Randy! Made me laugh ... I must say, though, the one my mate married is pretty good.

I hail from Louisiana but Pa Beemerboy was Air Force which meant we toured the world. His last assignment was Colorado Springs so here I am. I like to downhill ski therefore I have to deal with Texans or, as we call 'em on the slopes, speed bumps. :evil:
