I haven't looked at any stats or even know if the are available about new members ... but do you think we will get new members from time-to-time?
Not RefuPeas but brand new Peas?
Just curious ...

Not from me. I like to stay somewhat anonymous so I don't tell my friends and family about this board. Not too many people IRL know my user id.

I would think we would do - by the law of averages someone is likely to come across the board when they are searching for something and decide to join.....and we may already have got a new member/members not connected with the board before.

I know there is one member who was not on the old board and I think there is a second one.

I was wondering this exact same thing. I wonder what a fresh person would think of all the history the Peas share. They would be scratching their heads!

There's a similar thread about this on the General Scrapping board

Well I do have access to some stats - I obviously can't tell whether they were 'old' Peas or not, but we typically get a couple of new members or so a day - almost 100 so far in October

You piqued my interest, OP, so I just spent ten entertaining minutes perusing the posts of members who registered in the last few days:
-Someone whose first posts are about news events... -Someone whose first post is about diverticulitis... -Someone in a reality TV show about making a zombie movie who was "Peatlejuiced" (!)... -Someone (probably) selling deodorant... -Someone [HASH]1 who got hunted down (by Someone [HASH]2 who's a Refupea) because Someone [HASH]3 started a thread asking about a paper bag scrapbook Someone [HASH]1 posted on the old board... -And several people who registered but haven't posted.
Very interesting. The board is more of a living, growing organism than I'd've thunk. I assumed we were like the remaining, dwindling, aging members of a tribe who are the only ones who still know the tribe's dying language...

I'm a semi new member. I lurked on the previous board a little bit but never joined that one. I think it was because they wanted my name and address to join and that wasn't going to happen.

I am am glad we are growing. I don't tell anyone IRL about this place except close, close family members. But I wondered it we got stumbled upon like before by various internet travelers. im hoping it stays alive and grows long past us! Long live the RefuPeas!!

I have been wondering this, too. Someone who just stumbles upon us and has no background knowledge. Sort of cracks me up!

My SO is the only one that knows about this place. I still call it "my scrapbooking board." I don't think he knows the new name of the board. He didn't know the old name either. I prefer it that way
