SOACA membership?

[RootesRooter]

I see total members of about 2,400, and an "active membership" of 311. How is active defined?

I think those numbers are purely forum statistics. How many registered forum accounts and how many have logged on in a certain period of time.

We should probably publish some numbers about "official" members, those who have paid dues (donors). I think that number is around 150, but probably closer to 200 if we go back 2 years.

I guess you can count me as a "Member" in good standing

Just paid my dues for another year. Did't hurt a bit. I think that if you get the benefits of the Forum you should contribute to the upkeep!

Hey, I see your donation status has updated Dan, that hasn't been working for a while...

Edit - Hmmm, I've donated, but my status hasn't changed. Back to being confused.

Dan, a "Member in good standing" is something that many dream about.

 

[P. Scofield]

Just don't judge us by our little tag! I have donated but still show up as a free loader.

 

[George Coleman]

Me too! renewed mine and I am a freeloader as well.

Yes, you guys are in good standing, unfortunately our forum site still has the starter crank, yep manual go out and give it a twirl. All info, updates, and avatars at this time need to be done by hand, so we're running a bit behind.
Change is in the plans, it just takes awhile since most of the folks serving our web site and forum have full time jobs and families to take care of.
Believe me now and hear me later we're working on it.

No complaints here!

I'm sure these "other" guys are not really complaining, just making comments.

I appreciate this Forum and the people behind the scenes!

 

[Green67Alpine]

Not taken as a complaint, just airing one of the issues we're working with, this one thanks to the ever increasing spammers and bots.

Yes, sorry Tom, I mistakenly thought that was now fixed because of Dan's status. Just me jumping in too quickly.
Cheers,
Paul.

Guys,

the job of updating the levels is mine and I'm about 6 weeks behind due to moving from Portland to Phoenix and now back to Olympia Washington. (Yeah I'm confused too)

As soon as I get landed there and internet turned on, I'll get the list TOm sent me input.

 

[Green67Alpine]

I think all is good, nobody seems "mad etc " just wondering. Things happen, how many of us have had a plan to get our cars going only to have something else pop up? That's the way it goes. That said, I'm waiting to get the statics from the printers so I can get our sponsor packets in the mail ,and more updates to Nick.
I've found a new printer( not same as static printer) please folks let me know what you think of the calendar, I like it and think most of us will.

Donations

Well I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread about the donation status problem. I was about to post one asking about it because I donated in January and my tag still said "donation time", but now I know what's going on. No biggie, just as mentioned before, I kinda felt like a freeloader haha. I also wanna say thanks for keeping this forum going. It's been very helpful to me to read threads about questions I've had, and I've got a lot of very useful info from here.

Thanks guys! -Kyle
