I want to thank you bazza for doing this every day. I, for one, check your thread to see what you have chosen to tell us about.

 

Thanks, gal1998. :major :major

Around 15-20 people look at the thread each day, on the average.
Not many, considering the number of people that visit MG daily.:cry

Of course, I can't list all the ones published by MG at www.majorgeeks.com front page every day. There wouldn't be any point doing that.

I try and pick out 3, occasionally 4, new programs or updates that I think may be of interest to MG readers.
Any more than that and the moderators might get upset at the space I am using.

I try not to repeat the same programs over and over. For example RemoveIt (one of my favourites) regularly publish updates so I try NOT to list them each time.

I mainly list Free programs, but occasionally I list a Shareware program ($$$$) that I think maybe of interest.

If I see an MG slogan that tickles my fancy I include it for a laugh.

I really appreciate any comments, for and against, so I can reach more MG folk.

Hi Bigazza, I am sure all who get nosy, like me, have a look, and then come back, when the brain says, I saw that somewhere.
One ,or, two interesting programs, in there, better than scouring pages of daily/weekly majorgeek lists.
I am sure others appreciate them, as I do.
Thanks for the memories (Old Limey song)

 

You're very welcome.:major

I list 'em to try and get the lurkers (or visitors) to join Major Geeks, not just read and download.

When you check out any Forum there are a few members reading, but lots of lurkers.:cry
I realise that some members read, and don't log on, but there are still lots of folks out there just reading.

C'mon folks, join MG, you won't regret it. Bazza.

I just scrolled down to the bottom of page 1 in this forum, and there were 6 members
bigbazza, gal1998, Goran.P, Halo, Just Playin, luvIPA
and 120 guests looking at the Software forum.

I guess this sums up what I was saying.:cry Bazza

 

I think a lot of guests come to peruse the q, and a's, and if they see their answer, they wander off - Sometimes, like I did, they probably think they have to be the brains, and don't want to be ridiculed, but if they come on in, they will see that they can offer something, and surprising how much, once they get started, and they can learn all the time - I certainly do.
There is nothing more satisfying than helping someone near the end of their tether, find the answer, and sometimes a nudge from one of the geeks here, helps them to solve it themselves, and post for others to see that they could, too.

 

Maybe MG should give more emphasis about
**NEW** Welcome Center--Support Forum

and

The earlier version of 7 Zip was very good, Baz, so I would expect the later Beta version to be o.k, too- and a freebie.
Always worth a look in here - sometimes no need to look in majorgeeks downloads, so a nudge can be as good as a wink.:wine
