Replying to: tidester (Nov 10, 2006 2:32 pm) I guess it's because new folks used to come to "Edmunds Jeep Wrangler" to ask their questions. They were given warm welcomes, their questions were answered, and they were invited to stick around and become part of the family. Their questions were sort of like "conversation starters," I suppose, and you know how one post leads to other posts. Tom Have you hugged your Jeep today? |

Replying to: tidester (Nov 10, 2006 2:32 pm) It may be a subtle difference, but the second option is a definite turn off to someone with technical questions in mind. Kind of a 'touchy/feely' thing. As I said, a subtle difference, but I believe that more people come here initially for automotive reasons than to socialize (though once here it's nice that some of them choose to stick around). I guess it might sound a rather thin explanation if it weren't for the lack of new faces around here lately. As I said when we changed over, it works for me. However, it doesn't seem to be working for others, judging from the lack of new faces. Jeep Wrangler used to be the initial point of contact, and as the new name doesn't seem as attractive as the original why can't we change it back again? |

The Wave & Meet thing just doesn't attract people. Can you be an advocate for us to go back to the Jeep Wrangler title? It at leaat got people to the site and kept many of them here. Terry |

I can't change the name to "Jeep Wrangler" (because it's already assigned). Take a look at the new header I created on the Jeep Wrangler group page. That should help. As for a better name for this topic, we're open to (other!) suggestions. tidester, host

Replying to: tidester (Nov 10, 2006 9:28 pm) So why can't it just be re-opened. It wouldn't be a step backwards, so much as correcting a step that was going in the wrong direction. Since Jeep Wrangler was shut down the new alternative has collected a mere hundred posts, most of which are from the regulars to register their dissatisfaction. Jeep Wrangler had over twenty two thousand posts........I think it would be fair to say it was popular. Newcomers arriving in the past would generally want to ask the group a question, and would often stick around to become part of the group. They weren't drawn here for a warm and fuzzy "Wave and Meet" then, and they don't appear to be now either!
