<![CDATA[Stop Lurking and JOIN!]]>What is it going to take to get you people off the sidelines and in the game?! (Joker from Dark KNight, I think?) Seriously, if you read posts here and don’t either create an account or log in let us know the reason. See what I did there? You have to create an account to respond!

The traffic stats for Meatgistics are showing that the vast, vast majority of people are just lurking and reading.

You will see a few things constantly. Alot of really great people both ordinary members and Waltons employees. Plenty of recipes and processing discussions. And what I like most NO TROLLS that berate or make fun of another poster.

There is a wealth of knowledge here and very kind people to learn from. Side note, team Orange is the one you would want to join after getting set up.

Especially, when he’s on vacation and can’t defend himself. 🙂 🙂

He mentions them on occasion and I believe they kind of monitor the Meatgistics Community as an IT person in order to make our community better.

Everyone else on this post has put forth some good thoughts and ideas.

If you want to get more knowledge and better at your craft then you must get sharpened and there is absolutely no better gentler place to do it.

Maybe the January giveaway could be the card, and a bigger prize drawn from the monthly winners from the year before.

What would be some ideas for giveaways we could reasonably do?

I need to find out if gleam will allow that. If not, we might be able to find another way to do a giveaway that doesn’t use gleam.

tarp Although just a few years shy of that, I agree. I learn something everyday!

There’s some great cooks on this site. I pick up something all the time to try.
