I remember getting the following list of email addresses from M.GIbson when Norrie was changing jobs. Can I suggest sending them all an email pointing them in the direction of  thedesertbears.com website. Blue Bullet, Riyadh. [Davie: I just did an edit to remove all of those email addresses in case the SPAM monster eats them]    Report

Membership of the site jumped from 10 to 30 in one day, which is fantastic, so we have made progress. Now I have the updated email list I am going to be sending a couple of messages a week pushing people to sign in, so it is important that we get as much banter going on it as possible to show that it is a living thing. However I agree that I don't understand why people view (in the numbers mentioned is great) but can't be bothered to register. We have not had a meeting really this season due to holidays and fucking ramadan. Hopefully once we get people together again we can push the website as the communications tool for Bears in the Middle East. Regards, George    Report

Is it that people can tbe bothered registering?? If someone views the site prior to logging in, then they're still shown as a guest for 20 mins after logging in.  So if 50 people visit the site and then 40 of those register straight away then the site thinks we have we have 50 guests and 40 members online.
