 I don't have a problem w/ asking a question(s) that a member or members can answer.....but when it's a technical question that can only be answered by the administrator, it needs to be directed to him, not the membership. A PM is the perfect way to do that.

 I believe Porter has answered that question for you.

Wecome to the forum!  *cool*

Yeah what you are not seeing are how many people register vs get approved... aka not in the right group to see all that.

The last reason is do to us being signed up for some spam (more on it under my post about maintenance).  We were averaging about 30 bad members an hour at one point.

Lastly, they are just numbers.  No advertising, no revenue, no nothing generated from them.  Doesn't matter if there were 10 or 10,000 members....

Hope that clears the air ....

Good enough for me.  Obviously you don't owe me an explanation, I'm just curious by nature.  Thanks for letting me know.

I stated my point.  The numbers don't make sense and I'm just curious.  That is all.  I'm not pointing fingers or making accusations, just pointing it out and asking questions.

Geez, after all of the good things I've read about this forum I didn't expect such hostile reactions.

I don't see anything hostile in my response. I simply stated what I know to be true from past experience and gave you information as to where you might find your answers. You obviously thought that your question might be controversial from your qualifier in the second line, so I simply pointed out that since this type of question can probably ONLY be answered by the site administrator, that it would have been best to have taken it to him in a private message. I still think that is good advice.

I don't know you and, since that was your first post, I don't know anything about you. There are some apparent hard feelings from another site directed towards this one and I was simply stating facts as I know them while politely establishing boundaries and pointing you in the directions where you can find your answers. The problem with the written word is that it can sometimes be taken in different ways. Voice inflection, facial expression, and mannerisms are missing. These non-verbal forms make up about 80 percent of our communication. I try to be very careful in my replies, but if I left room for an incorrect interpretation of my thoughts, then I apologize for that. I intended no hostility towards you and hope you can become an interactive member of this forum.

BTW, I'm Ken and I live in MS.  * hi *

I didn't take your post as hostile.  I think my post just came in after yours.  Thanks for the clarification though.  *cool*

X-BOX, " Steve ", are you not going to Thank Mr. Porter, for clarifying your worries ??

I can see that after many months of NON-Posting, this subject which promted your first post after many months of just Viewing, must have really been bothering you, I hope, as all good members of the Osage Roost do, that this has laid to rest your worries.

Now you can become a nice, active, contributing member, of the Osage Roost.  ;) *up* *up* USA USA *up* *up* *cheers* *cheers* *cheers* *dance* *dance* :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:
