Title: Happy Thanksgiving and board guest, please register
Post by: mak on November 22, 2007, 08:27:14 AM
Great day to be alive! Happy Thanksgiving to all. I watch the stats on this board and it seems that it averages 3 guest to every user??? Can the guest who read this board please register, it cost nothing, we keep your name and email private, we do not bombard you will email. But it allows you to post messages and ask questions. I'm sure many of our "guest" have good information to share, so step up to the bus... or button, click on the register button on the first page of this board, sign up and start posting! Thanks!
Mike

We have 1637 members this Thanksgiving morning. Lets see if we can ad a few hundred, maybe get it over 2,000. Register, email or call your bus nut friends and get them to register. I'm billing this as the most popular and visited bus website in the world! Oct we had over 425,000 page views!!!! in one month. (Yes, it was just me hitting the button alot)

I will confirm that MAK and gang do not hit you with a bunch of e-mails and I saw no additional spam in my Inbox after I signed up for this board. There are some great parts of this board that you can't see unless you register (including participating in the chatroom).

I would love to see some new members here. This is a great board. Thanks MAK.

Some of those guests could very well be members that are looking from a different computer. I know I look from work on occasion, but do not usually sign in.

And some could be former members who've either been banned or got their panty's in a wad and quit the board and are too ashamed to admit that they made a mistake and still enjoy the board!
;D  BK  ;D

It just dawned on me... if they are not a member, they can not comment or tell us why they are not members since only members can post... duh.
I just got back from a great trip in the Moose Creek Motorcabin... I love camping in buses!!!

Howabout since they can't defend themselves, we make fun of them?  ;D

Glad to hear the trip in Moose Hootch was enjoyable. But where are the Pictures?

I'm hoping to see that Moose Creek bus someday, can't afford it but would really like to see it. Maybe we'll run into each other at a rally somewhere, cody

Here's an incentive to get new members to join us in our little piece of the asylum....

For everyone who joins in the next, oh, 3 days, I will give a free (Thats FREE) download of the Detroit Diesel Field Service Manual current to sometime in 1976.

All you have to do is join and make a post on this or any other thread. That will let me know that you are now a member.

At the end of 3 days, (11:00AM CT, Monday, December 3, 2007), I will PM all the newest members with a link to the download.

For the rest of you, who are already members, if you want the download, PM me and I will be glad to give it to you too.

No cash is expected, but just in case, my paypal account is GHTrucking > msn.com (change > to an ampersand)

Lets see how many new members we can get by this time Monday Morning!

Ya'll Come!

Dallas

Based on the number of guests compared to the number of members logged in at any one time, I am of the opinion that there may be as many overall guests as there are members. Are there possibly 1600 or more guests out there checking in?

Hey you guests, if someone picked a certain time and date would all of you try and join us at the same time? It would be great to find out how many of you there are. Even better would be something to convince you to register. It really does not hurt and you do not have to give out any personal information.

How about 8:00 PM EST Saturday nite, all guests sign in? Lets see what happens. Probably all the regulars will be there also, so we may have several hundred on at one time. Lots of fun and maybe a board that will be very slow.

I am already part of the "Broke" group.
That is why I was hoping to adopt one of yer orphans! ;D
If that doesn't work for us I do have an eye on a 70 Prevost Champion....needs injectors and has a 13 speed manual gearbox, those 2 things got me worried about that particular bus though. I might go take a peek at it after the Holidays are over. When we see how flush we are. No rush.

Well,

It looks like the incentive of a free PDF copy of the Detroit Diesel Field Service Manual didn't work. I had really had hopes that it would.

Oh, Well.  :'( :(

And only one person that was already a member even asked for it. Bummer. I thought it would at least bring in a few of our wayward guests.

However, being that I already have it on line, I figure it should be available to everyone.
