Look at all the GN's

True soontobe. Attract more advertisers.

Definitely not lurkers then.

clicking on these takes you straight onto Gransnet And then you sign up to Gransnet just to enter the competition.

A cheap way for gransnet to increase its membership.

Exactly as I thought, jingl! Lurkers my **rse!

Some people simply want to read the posts but don't want to say anything, and yes, some just want to do the competitions. It takes all sorts.

Ooh. Look at this

I am a newbie myself.
It isnt very scary!
Honest.

In times past, I have had a look at ahem, netmxxs
They have a system over there of how many people lurk.
The average seemed to be 1 person posting and 30 lurkers.

So if there are about 300 people posting, that equates to 9000 people lurking. Though I suppose they wouldnt necessarily be all members.
Am I making sense at all?

We always get literally hundreds of 'compers' etc. on all the giveaway threads...

Sell all the grans, eh, jingle?

eh?!

ebay

Not surprised with £500 of books up for grabs.
