GINGERMAN's blog

Meet Fighters has a unique array of men and women who enjoy participating in various forms of martial arts. Some do so for exercise; some for testing of themselves in various levels of competition; and, for a variety of other reasons. I believe Administration and its coterie of volunteers do everything possible to facilitate these activities, and more. I mean how many have encountered great stories, some even serialized, and thus enjoyed good reads. Blogs are fostered to allow members to share events in their lives, to describe problems they hope that members will take note and perhaps correct themselves in how they treat other members. We should be content with these provisions done to enhance and lead to contentment of our community. However...

Every so often we lose members. The reasons are often similar, but there are undoubtedly infrequent reasons for the temporary suspension and even permanent withdrawal.

I wonder if there are members who wonder why a former opponent, or even a soon to be opponent, suddenly disappears. There are some who may well say, “Oh, well...” Others may not be so blasé and wish they knew the reason, perhaps in the hopes that something could have been done to preclude these departures.

Much as when people unsubscribe from receiving some emails, many companies generating these emails provide for a reason to be offered. These are not obligatory to the unsubscription, but it serves a purpose. If you feel that we might be able to retain some of those who are lost, perhaps we can encourage Administration to undertake some sort of similar inquiry. I for one wish to see the membership grow and flourish. What say you? Do you think some form of inquiry would be helpful?
