I am so excited as we have member #216 join this last week. We have grown at a very steady rate since beginning in April of 2008.
We had a couple of fluxuations in the numbers as our main source of members; LinkedIn.com changes some of their rules for group participation. AND they were very good changes in my mind. The changes they made was to make it impossible for any LinkedIn member to belong to more than 50 groups. There had become a "MySpace" type race to add groups and 'connections' to your profile in order to appear to be well connected.
As a result, many people joined 10 - 25 or more groups on every day. You'd see the same old names on LinkedIn in their update section, and these names would be there to announce that they had joined 25 groups today.
With the change, many were forced to actually drop out of groups that they had no real interest in. This caused us to have a long series of membership bounces.
Things seem to have finally stabilized, and it now appears that EVERY single one of our members ACTUALLY is a motorcycle fan; whether they own one or not.
So, the end result seems good, as I never had expected anyone to join unless they were a motorcycle nut like me.
Let's all get some good riding in before the fall weather begins to slow us down!
Ride Safe!
