Hi Chet,
If you don't log on to the forum for a certain amount of time you get dropped from notifications and membership till you reapply .

I didn't know that. Not that it applies to me. I try to post regularly. It does tell me that if you're not willing to put in an effort on this place and post, you don't need to be here.

Now I remember that. Peterae invited everyone within reason at OU.com to come here if they wanted. I took him up on it. You're right about that.

Hi Lee
There are 3 chances to maintain membership here,, if you don't log in for 60 days an initial email is sent out inviting them to log in again, if they don't log in for another 60 days(now 120 in total) then they get a second email, if they don't log in again for another 60 days (180 days now) then they get a final email, if they still don't log in then their account is deleted.

I think any serious user of OUR would have logged in during 180 days.

Membership is by invitation from a current member, if you wanted someone to join email me Peterae@overunityresearch.com and i will gladly set them an account.

We prefer to do it this way to keep the trouble makers and a 1000 posts a day members away

Peter

Hi Peter...
Considering your Reply #3,

Very good. I remember being a very early registrant, and I didn't get really involved until lately, when my interest in general was stimulated by acquaintances. It got me to do more inexpensive research on basic concepts while I did that out-of-sight from a nosy landlord. I still have to be careful. I just thought it strange until you explained it. I'll be contributing until I leave San Francisco or retire from research, which should be awhile.

I'll continue to keep this thread open and unlocked for all who wish to comment. You're also right, Peter, this SMF is good compared to OU.com's own software platform.

Thanks for all the info,

--Lee
