Low participation

Post by Foxcreek » Thu Dec 07, 2017 2:01 pm

ALL.

Something I've always wondered about this site is the low activity here comparied to other sat forums.
Is there something about this site that discourages your participation ?
Is it just me or are there others out there that feel this way too ?

Personally I think this is a great site particularly with C band as it's basis.
I would just like to see much more activity here.

Happy hoidays to everyone.

Well foxcreek, you many not know this, but with the exception of Ricks, Caseys, satforums, dbstalk(directv) and this place, all other satellite forums are owned and operated by Dish Network. :reddevil: What you are observing at these other 'popular' forums are posts made by Dish employees, associates, dealers, installers, investigators and attorneys. When we allowed Rainier to post here, those same entities were posting here (in opposition to Rainier) also, but as soon as Rainier was banned, the rabble left as quickly as they had appeared. So we don`t want to go through that business again! :frown

We have several hundred members who read here and check the satellite charts daily, but many are reluctant to post for a variety of reasons:

A. They don' t know much about TVRO and are reluctant to post.

B. They are afraid of getting sued by Dish (Charlie), even though TVRO is 100% legal and Dish (Charlie) can`t do jack about it. Look at all the frivolous lawsuits and extortion letters being sent around by Dish (Charlie). I am guessing 30,000 - 50,000 people have been caught up in this dragnet, which continues to this day.

C. Anyone under 40 probably hasn' t heard of TVRO and if they have, they probably think owning a c-band dish is illegal or that all programming actually originates from Dish (Charlie), etc. We are reaching out to this group of people and trying to get them to put down their kodi boxes!

D. Some TVRO enthusiasts stick to one forum and don' t regularly post elsewhere.

E. A malicious rumor was started by Dr. Sat (the same Dr. Sat who relishes in posting the latest Dish(Charlie) lawsuits on the front page of his forum like they are some kind of commandments coming down from God) to discredit this forum and our sponsors. When Rainier was banned, they decided to fan the flames of this rumor to hurt us as much a possible. In the end though, these idiots :hammerme: only managed to hurt themselves because our sponsors sell better products at much lower prices and that' s all that counts when someone is ready to make a purchase.

We are working on addressing A-E, but it takes time. In the meantime, we' d like to thank everyone who does visit and contribute here.

All,

Well it seems I managed to draw a few of you guys out.
I think we all have to remember that we'll only get out
what we put in here.

So lets all start contributing a bit more after all it's that
time of year for joy and good tidings.

Thanks to all for being here.

Most people are with family and friends and away from their satellite toys this time of year so lack of participation is normal.

Happy Holidays to everyone! :beer
