The chatbox was discussing a subject and figured out what Andy meant by his question on the meaning of this message. In the past guests could view posts without logging in but obvious some maintenance aspect is going on,  |

No maintenance effort, just getting a sense of how many member's interest is peaked by the email notification of the Newsletter having been published. On a typical day, we've been getting some 50 or 60+ members signing in within a 24 hour period. As of this morning, we have exceeded that number by about 100, many of whom have been in the inactive category.  In the time it took to craft this post, 2 more members have signed in. We've also had 5 new applicants during that timeframe. I will reopen the Forum later today. I prefer it to be viewable by all so that prospective members can see what we have to offer before deciding if they want to join us. Guests are only able to view most areas of the Forum -- they are not able to post on it. Keeping the Forum open is also a convenience to members who just want to quickly review the recent posts or threads categories to see if there is something to which they wish to respond -- consider it a time-saving measure. |

Thus far, 28 previously inactive members have signed in and several have begun participating.
All of them have been removed from inactive status; however, as was stated in the Newsletter, I still plan on beginning to delete inactive members who have only posted in their Introductory threads.
Unlike a brick-and-mortar club whose members pay annual dues, our membership "dues," moving forward, will be participation.
