Like I said, if they want to join in first, open season. Plenty of people register on forums and lurk. Be it through quick access or necessity or even through being allowed opportunity to access features that they may want to take advantage of sometime down the line.
I have a phone, does that mean I use it? If I choose not to then thats up to me. What I wouldn't like is someone calling me up for PPI and market research or even to coax me into going out for a blast on my bike if I'd never engaged with them in any way before.
Similarly, I may stick my name on the member list and plan to get involved, but maybe I'm dealing with a sick mother, or long working hours or simply can't be fucked dealing with people. Then suddenly I get a bundle of emails telling me theres ride outs, join the map, introduce yourself blah blah blah.
The site is plainly laid out to allow all this stuff to be accessible eithout the need to pester folk before they have a chance to get their shit together.
Once they start off, they better hope I've not had a dram but until they make the first move, I'm happy to leave them in peace and engage with the hundreds, if not more, people who do engage and do go for runs and are already involved. This is usually quite easy to do through rideouts and meets. Albeit some of may have to travel but thats the nature of the beast.
But hey, I'm not seeing the overall purpose and thats cushty, I'm left to do my own thing here and that suits me and hopefully others.
