Will Simon's beat the WTBS ? (page 4)

Simon

In all fairness, while a lot did come over from H20 they do not make up the majority of posters here. This forum was growing before then and continues to grow since then.

How about this to make things 'easier' ... the number of registrations per month:

Seems like the media has made a difference!

Love, Scully

Simon

Probably more telling is the number of visits / page views as I think this gives a more accurate representation.

This has consistently climbed and we now have a weekly traffic that surpasses the peak (at the time) from when dateline aired ... currently around 52 - 56,000 visits a week (sessions, not hits or page-views)

The other thing I'd like to add in case anyone get's the wrnog impression is that I did not actively recruit people from another forum. I know this goes on now where anyone who appears to have a disagreement is sent an email inviting them 'elsewhere' but I prefer to just have the forum in place and let people join and leave as they want.

I think some are taking this a tad too seriously...!

Hello Farkel, the point of the thread was'nt will Simon beat the WTBS( into a pulp or submission or in total membership numbers)

but - will Simons increase at the end of the year BEAT the WTBS ' published increase figures for 2002 .

Now i'm in permanant itallics and appear to be stressing everything and everyone by the sound of it!

If we were serious about 'beating' it we would need some serious money for advertising to educate people who were unable for what ever reason to visit the internet.I have sent fliers to halls ,health centres,dentists ,laundrettes (and where ever they leave theirs) with info about the WTBS on them alert people that, what ever they claim, they are a cult and reasons to avoid becoming involved.

The WTBS could be dented, but I feel that would only happen if they were perhaps to loose their charitable status and a lot of their new recruits and teen baptisms resulting in a catastrophic fall in confidence and membership .

seawolf

seawolf; is that an S&M channel or something?!

no, it's a variety channel on basic cable in the US. has movies, sports, etc on it. It was a semi-serious joke that apparently no one thought was funny. ok maybe I'm strange LOL

I think Simon and the JW channel will win. already there are some people I've met here that I've known at other places totally unrelated to jw.com and some people at my hall even read here (the sex forums to be specific...*rolls eyes* PERVS )

hehe..dunno Also at my hall there are more children being born!! nahh, probably just a coincidence,

I just come to see Termite bouncing on her pogo stick

hehe....oohhhhh I like it, too.

( bouncing in my profile pic means I get to bounce in all the right places- unlike the real world where some parts refuse to cooperate and other bits jiggle uncontrolably )

got any pics?
