Where'd all the new users come from?

[penrod]

Well, as it turns out....

I had a misconfiguration on my email server and the "welcome aboard" emails were getting kicked back about 25% of the time. The misconfiguration had always been there, but it looks like spam servers are getting better and was starting to block email because of it.

Perry and I noticed it last week. We fixed it and sent out new welcome aboard emails to all of the new users.

um...yeah...but dock is the one inviting all of them...so, thanks to dock for the invitation, and to you for figuring out the glitch.

Ah, I gotcha. That explains why the bug became so evident!

Thanks Doc for finding all the new users!

John,
I found about 800+ DS registered on http://navysite.de/crew.php?action=search site which I sent e-mails.

Some were already registered on this site, some were redundantly registered on the navysite.de site and I could not tell how many had invalid e-mail addresses. Some DS's even thanked me for reminding them about this site, I am sure you may have had visits from some folks that have not been around for awhile.

Regards and you are welcome,

If you'd like, I can send out a site wide mass email to remind people about the site and rustle up some more users that have not been here in a while.

I night be a very good marketing idea, especially if worded correctly in regards to new registered users from all eras.

Did you look at the Together We Served site? I checked today, and found 919 DS's there.

[Doc Kivlighan]

We just passed 1600 Users registered. :)

[Doc Kivlighan]

Folks,
Over the past two weeks I sent out 908 "Together We Served" invites for this site. We added an additional 118 new registrations over the past two weeks.
I received many, "I am already a member and/or I should check back in" responses. I recognized some names from this site as frequent users and did not send them an invite. There were also a flock of redundant registrations on TWS.

Fyi, I did get a response from one person that because he is not a paid member, he cannot read his TWS e-mail. For those folks not paid, the seed has been planted if and when they become a paid TWS member.

Regards,
Doc K.

Today,
I completed sending membership notices to the DS's on http://navysite.de/crewlist/search.php? ... searchform aka Navybuddies.
There are about 600 DS's registered on the Navybuddies site and about 20% of those were already registered on this site. One has to send notices via their site e-mailer, so there is no indication when an e-mail is bounced. I wonder how many registered Navybuddies still have valid e-mail addresses listed?
