Showing Appreciation has lost on nowadays. Pity :(

Hello all,

Without having in mind to blame anyone, I want to share my opinion. And the best solution to make my post independent I'll not talk for myself but for another Coder here. Let's see what the numbers are saying:

Ozzy47
Total Posts: 10,454 (5.24 posts per day)
Total Mods: 211
Total Downloads of his mods: Difficult to count them but with an average 25 per mod > 5,000

And now some statistics of his site:
Members: 699

A bit better are the statistics for BirdOPrey5 and his site, but again there is a big difference comparing his site's member with his work here (Posts and Mods).

All of you here are webmasters. All of you are working to find more free mods and style to impove your site. Right? For what? For getting more registrations, for making your site more active and thus to earn some more money from advertisments (in case that your site is free), or to sell more (in case for shops, or membership).

After all I'm wondering for something simple. Why you don't give the same to those coders/designers who are operating their own website? For sure they didn't spent their money to buy a license, or to pay for hosting, for nothing. To have an operating site means that they want new registrations.

Is there any taboo on registering on coder's sites? That's all that I want to know. I'm expecting now to read many personal attacks like: "Why to register to your site while you've shut down your sites at least 5 times?". Correct. Read the reason above. Ig you had a site with 50 members how long you had to keep it active? I'm sure much less time than the time that I was keeping my sites live. And finally, during my 8 years activity as coder for vB, I've registered in more than 100 sites just to offer help. I didn't registered to get something but to offer something. Try to search some old sites and don't surprised if you see "MicroHellas" as member there.

That's all that I had to say. Again without the minimum bad thought in my mind. Without to blame, offend, insult anyone (person). But yes I blame the "activity" (it's not the right word, but can't find any other now).
