New and dedicated members to get Rant T-Shirt

I have decided that one thing that could maybe help the rant get more posters is to hand our something in return. Therefore from this day forward, all dedicated posters and new member that exceed 50 posts will get a free Rant T-Shirt. The only rule that I ask for is that new members who try and...

Translation: Get a friend to sign up and make 50 quality posts, and they get a shirt. You might also get one, but I am not sure. I am still decoding the post.

On the other hand, since I have over 6000 posts, does this mean I have over 100 shirts coming my way?

I've never been much of a poster. I've always liked to read them more than anything. I read some of of your previous post when I first joined and there were comments that "new members just join the football pool for the money, but don't post anything". Are you people hurting for conversation that bad? I'm in a couple of other football pools and a fantasy league, but I never been condemned for not posting. I don't want to offend anybody, but if you want me to post i'll tell it like it is.

We'd love for you to post....but don't feel obligated. The more people post and the more variety we have from different and new posters, the better.

I think the conversation we have here is great. There are many knowledgeable and opinionated posters here. And it's not as if we don't appreciate that...but, we would like to grow. The more opinions, the more opportunity for dialogue. Our goal is to get numerous posters from around the country...if not the world...for each sport and team.

Please do not feel condemned for not posting...that truly wasn't our intent. We are simply searching for ways to attract additional members for the benefit of the existing members to engage in sports conversation.

Thanks for your honesty.....

Exactly what KP said.

You are not obligated. We would love it if you did, and that is your thing, but if not, so be it. This is a site for the members, about the members. Some post, some don't. Do not feel pressured. Do what you do, and the site will be here for you. Thank you for joining, and feel free to notify us of any problems.

Thats not telling it like it is... thats being an asshole. We are not hurting at all... we would just like as many people as possible... hard to understand?
