Making the Pixies quiz got me thinking about membership here.....

Between 4/29/01 and 8/02 (roughly 16 months) membership rose to 10,000. From 8/02 - 1/03(6 months) we added 5,000 more (almost.....remember I suck at Math) now reaching almost 15,000 members. A huge jump!!!!


Mr. Lilith attributes this to word of mouth.....What do you think? Do you give out the url and refer people? I can say with my head hung low that I have only brought one person......Summer. But I refer people in tha chat room often so I guess I'll count them


Can you 'splain this to me? Any ideas? or nobody cares but me?

We all care. I've turned some people to here but don't see any either login in or just lurking. This is a wonderful site the people that I've met and talk to are great and caring. I can see why it has grown so fast and with lovely ladies such as yourself( maybe extra brownie points) it can only grow more. Thanks for the soap box

I think I would tend to agree with your hubby, Lilith. I personally came here via a link from another site (can't even remember which, now) bit I've introduced my g/f to it (the more observant will know who that is!!) and I know she's told at least 2 of her friends!

The pity of it all is, IMHO, that so few of the 15 thousand post at all, never mind regularly ~ I know a lot of people don't feel like it, for various reasons, but come on people, GIVE IT A GO!!!

Took me quite a while to lose my posting "cherry" .... but I love it now !

DM

P.S. we're going away next weekend, so we just might have some "proper" pix to post.... depends how brave we feel, I guess !

I think when people do stop by, they're simply impressed with how open and friendly a site Pixies is. And, when you see that, you tend to want to hang around.

As far as the posting goes ... I know I'm naturally shy and tend to live a sheltered life ... so the reluctance to post and express myself is very natural for me.

( Plus, when i'm holding the mouse in one hand and part of me in the other, it's hard to type. )

I think hubby is on to something Lilith! I was brought to Pixies by my hubby, and then I introduced a friend (SUPERPIPE) to it just recently. I always ask, in chat, if the newbies have registered and if they say no I tell them it's worth the effort, it's painless and it's free. Nine times outta ten they go and give it a whirl! So.....yes! I agree with Mr. Lilith........and he told two friends and they told two friends and so on and so on..............

Also at some point in there Pixies changed chat rooms......so I think like you said Lixy people have been invited to join.

I go along with DB on this one...I haven't "brought" anyone here, but we've all been extra friendly to newbies (I know of one I like to think I "rescued" when they thought they'd stepped over some invisible line), we've kept it mostly flame-free by weeding out the real assholes, overall making it a real friendly place where people wanna come & stay...

& credit for all that has to go to our fine mods, & of course the Boss who chose them & let us all play here for free...

Just throwing my two cents in. In my short time here, I've found everyone extremely friendly and open-minded, and I've felt welcome from my first posting on. In reviewing some things in the archives, I find *very* few instances of flaming, compared to some other sites I've seen (sex-type boards or otherwise).

I appreciate all of the above.

I haven't told MANY people about pixies by name of the site.It's
hard to understand(You have to know me,personally)but I feel too
protective about pixies and the confidents that I have met here.
The people that I haven't told are nice people but I don't think that they are sincere enough to be pixies members.In other words,I don't think that they deserve Pixies.Like most people that I know,they are too judgemental! Irish
P.S.They know that I belong to a site but we don't discuss the site
that much.

I found Pixies while looking for erotic stories. I am so glad I did. I spent quite a while just browsing, but finally decided to become a member and submit my own posts. Now, I'm not sure what took me so long? Oh well, I'm here now.
