Informed Webmaster

This is an open invitation for any Lurkers to join the party.

Then give us a post in this thread to introduce yourself.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Hello.

I'm technically not a webmaster, but I am checking out the cool extensions you have for phpBB. Someone on the phpBB website actually told me about this site when I asked about a particular extension.

As for me personally, there's nothing much more to say other than I'm a American college student who is learning about phpBB in my spare time.

Welcome to the forum.

Hi Random American. Nice to meet you.

Welcome to the group.

Not to seem pessimistic, but I think a large chunk of the lurkers are just bots or people who have already left. I see people online looking at a particular topic for hours, so I don't think many are going to join in unfortunately.

The forum has grown a bit slower then what i think most of us expected, but it is going in the right direction, and we are getting more and more real user visits

Well that's a lot of bots to be honest. I do wonder if you're being scraped maliciously with all the "guests" you guys have, though admittedly, I lack the technical skills or knowledge to know for sure. I have seen other forums with lots of guests, but unless they're very popular, they normally don't have 500 or so guests.
