Holiday Trim

Well Geeks, long time no speak again. My apologies. Even though, I know only a small few of our members actually read my babbling, I still feel bad when I promise to write and it goes on the wayside.

Anyhow, here's the deal;

The Geeks will be losing weight shortly. As much as I love having a group size to rival most other groups, I find that we have a lot of 'dead' weight as well. There is a HUGE list of members who are no longer active in the community in T61 OR the group. When the Beat Geeks originally formed, it was meant to have a tight community feel. I think we have that, but only with a small percentage of our members. I'm not into numbers, I'm into quality-which is what I think our group should uphold. I would like to see members be ACTIVE within the group because otherwise, why bother? What is the point of being associated with a group if you don't participate in it?

I'm guessing that some people joined us because of the Quest requirement, others joined because we are a large group and still others joined because they honestly liked the camaraderie and overall welcoming atmosphere we instill in the group. I would like to have mostly members who joined for the latter. Am I asking too much? I understand that some people are too shy to maybe post on the wall & prefer to read along etc. That's cool too as I'm not trying to go on a rampage & kick everyone out who's never posted. But I AM going to start trimming off people who are no longer active on T61 and then I shall move on to members who have never even responded after our initial welcome. Then, it's up to you. I would love you to stay, to enjoy what we offer as a community etc. I want to keep up our regular banters & postings of new & interesting music. I want our group to be what it originally started out as, a good group of folk who are here to share their musical tastes & witty banter.

So I'm going to poll everyone to see if my plan is way out there or if you guys think I'm nutty. (sssssssssssshhh!!) lol Please be honest in the vote, only vote once and leave a comment as well if you have something you want to say about all this. If you are a quietly active member, send me a note that you want to stay so I know your intentions. If you would rather speak in private, the geek gmail account is always available. I am the only one that sees that.

Thanks in advance. I really love what our active members do. BIG PROPS to all who make an effort to welcome new members, join in the Radio Days & who generally keep the wall active with your posts. I know who you are & appreciate you, truly. I would like to keep the group high in those members as that is what being a Beat Geek is all about!
