Thread: Don't be shy!!!

I have noticed that so many forums have more visitors than members. That made me think: Why don't all those people sign up?

I have asked myself lately and I think I know why:


People want info and think that reading thru the posts will help them find out what direction is right for them.


However, if you are a member and other members get to know you, that is when your road to success begins!

No man is an island. If you hide, you won't be found. being a forum member has countless benefits that you won't find thru "lurking".


I encourage every visitor to Register and Introduce him/herself !!! .

You are not alone donelle8. I used to do the same thing.

The real problem about that was that there were many subjects that I did not completely understand. I had 98% of the picture.

I finally overcame my shyness and asked questions about points I did not fully understand. I originally felt badly because I thought I was not really contributing.

As it turns out, there were many others like me that didn
