Peeked

Not to soon.

I think we have more or less peeked for the last while with membership on MHC we made a fast climb to 4000 members but are struggling to reach 5000, currently at 4968

I think there is a simple explanation, how many Motorhomers in ireland? 12000? half of which are very elderly and maybe either not on the internet or have one of those Facebook Tablets (I can't resist, can I?)

So that leaves 6000, we have 5000 of those and the other 1000 prefer inferior forms of media such as, you guessed it, Facebook.

Now those are scientific figures so discredit them at your peril.

We are getting new members all the time but it has slowed away down, not a bad thing, just a thing. Overall in the face of competition and all that has happened in the last year, Motorhomecraic is still beating the competition hands down for new content and posts and a lot of other things.

Keep 'er craic'ing folks

Well if the staff were a bit more Humble and not so heigh handed .we might get more members.
What do you think new prospective members thing when they see the total disregard the staff have for the membership .






If you don't agree with my analysis.

Just think back to the 3 day holiday they took recently , without a taught for the needs of the membership.

I regularly visit 9 (sad) Motorhome forums and one Facebook page.

Considering the low numbers of Motorhomes in Ireland, the only site to have the vibrancy of craic is wildcamping, so we are a very healthy group. Most of the others depend on non Motorhome content for their posts. However like most forums we are dependant on a small core of contributors. I think a better measure of success for any forum would be a measure of the number of contributors over a set period of 6 months or a year. Motorhomefacts stats show they had/have 95,000 members, but there are about 10 regular contributors saving it from collapse.

I visit the Hymer owners group Facebook page for the sole reason that there is no dedicated Hymer forum of note and they have 5000 members, although regular posters are but a handful. Having said that it pains me to have to trawl through all the guff and repetition for the occasional gems, although they can be worth the effort.

So I guess I am saying well done us, we are one of the top forums in the British isles.

I am not exceptionally active on MHC, (I seems to go in bursts) but I really find it helpful and friendly, with appropriate banter.
I must admit that I enjoy the MHC community and it is my first port of call if I have query, technical or otherwise.
It is an excellent forum, if I used it more often I might be able to keep up with some of technical developments, such as how to attach photos etc. But that is where the MHC is top class- everybody will assist you and tell you how to deal with the issues, such as attachments etc without making you feel inadequate.

Funny, the show this year at the old Maze site (Eikon ??) must of had one of the biggest gathering of motorhomes ever on the Island, yet not a single report on any of the TV media.... maybe a heads up to them for the next one would be an idea.

Just had a look, it's quite dire on there now.

Good things always grow, great to see it's still happening here

No fertiliser needed....it just keeps growing....... for the memory.....

And at a time of the year when many Motorhomes are in Hibernation. The future looks very promising

If you think of all the info on here all those motorhomers are going be entitled to a degree in motorhoming with he knowledge they will have lol
