Lol Check for yourself . Im sure those messages are still sitting on my members walls .
Unfortunately, a lot of players only ever go direct to the Game Client, and not to any other page on WGT, so never know they have messages, or wall posts - something I hope will be addressed soon...fingers crossed ;-)
We, UK Golfers Elite, are a relatively small CC, currently 92 members I think, but nearly all play, and nearly all are regular contributors to the CC forum.
What we have found to work, is NOT to have an "open door" policy for new members. If someone wants to join us, they have to seek us out, read the CC message about applying for membership, send me a friend request, and reply to my messages to them. Then, and only then, do they get an invite to join. We then expect them to make an initial post on the forum to introduce themselves.
We have found that those that make it through this process are generally "good" CC members, and they then get fully involved. The odd one or two do fall by the wayside, and they do get removed, but it's not a major problem.
I'm not saying this approach is right for every CC, but it works for us :-)
