A lot of companies spend lots of money trying to get people to join their online community. To some, a community is a Facebook page (“Like us!”), or a Twitter feed (“Follow us!”) or an Instagram account (“Look at us!”)
When I moved demobox.org (an old domain I’ve had forever) off my Domino server at home and onto GoDaddy’s hosting, I put WordPress up so I could play with it. (I love wordpress.com but it’s not like you are in charge.)
I have four members.
WTF?
I’m still trying to determine how a backwater site with no apparent value or content has managed to get four members. So far.
I can’t wait to see if they try to post.
Maybe I should change my title to “Marketing Consultant.”
Sad Update (9 August 2014)
Well, it’s very easy to get multiple members, apparently. They’re all spam members. So, I’ve turned membership off on all my WordPress sites until I can get better protection from idiots. This may be impossible.
