Hi Girls,
I had an interesting experience this evening with a potential new member. She is a TG Canadian poet who was interested in the Creative Writing Forum after reading my facebook profile.
I sent her the TGS URL as well as the one for the Creative Writing Forum Index. She couldn't, for reasons unknown, access either one.
I suggested she just join TGS. She was overwhelmed by the process, so I offered to help her. I joined (as her), added her info and e-mail address and made up a security question and answer for her. I told her all she had to do was answer the e-mail from TGS and she would be a member. This was way too much for her and she gave up.
She said she was too old to deal with all the computer stuff, even though she is 2 years my junior.
I realize security measures are important, but maybe a 6 step joining process is driving potential members away.
Best,
Melody
