New Members Flooding In...Please Help

[Papa Zook]

I ocassionally send an email out to the newer members who have joined but never posted and ask them to make a post so we know they are not a bot or spammer. After getting mass spammed with PMs from new member "Ryder" today, I sent the "please make your first post" email and you may have noticed the board is blowing up with new member intros which is a good thing. I would ask that you please help in greeting the new members, a few here religiously do so every day but they could use some help.
Thanks,

Zook

I must have been carrying TT around in my pocket to long. It seems to have sprung some leaks and let through a flood of new members. Too graphic???

I knew you'd been shaken the bushes.

I received several PM from this Ryder dude...Thanks for the warning

I thought the same thing.

I'm one of the newbies, but really I just kinda trickled in, been here for a while and I've used the site so much in the last year that I thought I should take the next step. That, and the fact that the Boss sent me one of those messages about posting or getting banned as a possible bot.

Well Kaz, here you are. Welcome aboard the posting side of things. What cha ride? Retired or still workin? Got any bad habits like fishin, huntin, racin motor cycles, cars, boats, airplanes, go carts, or skate boards?

Still working on fixing my profile to show that stuff lol.
2015 black TGU. Spent 30 yrs in the Coast Guard, tried retirement, was too poor for my tastes, so working on another retirement. Maybe in another 5 yrs I'll try again.

Thanks much to those of you who have volunteered to pitch in on the new member greetings, guys & gals! Thanks to your help, we continue to have an extraordinarily friendly community.

The guy will bombard the site with junk ... just to be a jerk

The more,the merrier! Just wish we could reach more of our trike brethren.

Be kind of cool if we had a simple official (as in blessed by our founder) business card with the forum logo and web address to hand out. I'll bet I gave the website name to at least 20 or more trikers that I've encountered this summer on my two trips to the left coast.

I was referred to this site by two different trike owners.
I still only have two wheels but I love checking out the various trikes when I come across them.
No plans to buy, but I do like to keep up to date on the different rides out there
So, back to the shadows...

When I was Admin of the V8Bikeriders site a few years ago,I had some business cards printed up to carry with me. Still carry them but now have TrikeTalk.com printed on the back. Every time I run into another trike owner, I give them one of my cards.

I'm also a member of two TriGlide forums and one Freewheeler forum on Facebook and frequently post something about our site on them,trying to help recruit new owners to our ranks.

Strength in numbers,folks.

It has been good figuring out where everyone is from and what they have been doing. Jim

The sad part about all the new members is that most of them will only post that one time so they can keep their membership here.

I've come to understand that most come to TrikeTalk.com to gather information rather than socialize, especially considering the age of most trike riders. Most folks our age just don't engage in social media to the extent the younger folks do as far as posting on forums, just look at the number of members and non members signed on at any given time, our traffic is phenomenal and spans the globe. Its a great site to gather information, but its also a great site to make new friends and share information too. I hope to see more participating once they've broken the ice with that first post.
