  • Wow are there ever a ton of "Members Only" topics going on right now. There are so many, I just HAD to bump this thread.

    Anyone not logged in (which requires signing up for a CathInfo account) is missing out on a HUGE portion of this forum's traffic.

    And it's not just the percentage -- it's the best stuff, the topics we can talk about openly among our fellow Catholics without G--gle butting in.

  • If you're not a CathInfo member, logged in, you're missing out on:

    28087 Posts
    2308 Topics

    in the Members-only subforum.

    You do realize membership is free, right? And I turned off the Captcha which apparently was broken, and was preventing new sign-ups for who knows how long.

    P.S. Almost every time a topic "disappears", that's where it went. I don't delete topics. It's very rare; maybe 1 a year. And those are for very good reason. No, for me, as long as YOU-KNOW-WHO can't see it, I'm hesitant to delete anything.

  • If you're not logged in, you need to log in and/or sign up for a FREE account. Because an increasing percentage of discussions -- especially the GOOD ones -- are in the MEMBERS-ONLY subforum, which is only visible to logged-in members.

    Not Google. Not any other search engine or traffic. Not guests. Not "lurkers".

    And MAN! are they missing out. They have no idea. CathInfo has about 50% more traffic than they think :)

  • Members-only subforum now has:

    31197 Posts
    2469 Topics

    That's 3,110 more posts since Feb 9th of this year!

    Here's another tidbit: Page 1 (most recent 20 Topics) only takes you back to May 30th! That's how active that subforum is.
    For comparison, the rather active "SSPX Resistance" subforum goes back to May 21st on Page 1.
    "Crisis in the Church" goes back to May 31st.

    So Members Only has as much activity -- a lot -- as Crisis in the Church, one of the oldest and most popular subfora on CathInfo!

    Moral Of The Story: SIGN UP FOR A FREE CATHINFO ACCOUNT if you haven't already, so you don't miss out on over 1/2 of the GOOD content posted here!

    I'm sorry it has to be this way, but account-free browsing and lurking just isn't going to cut it anymore. Too many topics get moved into Members Only, and then only logged-in members can see them. You can lurk all you want -- just be logged in with a CathInfo account while you do. It's free, and I don't ask for any identifying information. You can call yourself whatever anonymous name you want. Sign up for a separate e-mail account if you have to. Just GET AN ACCOUNT and LOG IN already.

  • Right now the "latest topics" sidebar on the right has:

    15 - generally visible topics
    11 - hidden to Members Only or Mens/Womens subforum.

    That's almost half!

    And need I point out -- that's the 11 BEST or MOST IMPORTANT topics. Stuff that is important, sensitive, persecuted by Big Tech, etc.

    The Members Only is only growing in popularity with every passing day, especially with the current situation in the Middle East.

    35382 Posts
    2681 Topics

    That's 4,185 more posts since June 6th of this year.

    All you need is a FREE CathInfo account, no personal information required, and you can view ALL the important topics!

    P.S. Almost every time a topic "disappears", that's where it went. 999 times out of 1000. I don't delete topics. It's very rare; maybe 1 a year. And those are for very good reason. No, for me, as long as YOU-KNOW-WHO can't see it, I'm hesitant to delete anything.
