I guess THS team must be delighted by the sudden increase (last year it was only 60 000 members ?) but I wonder how the customer service manages to face (and cope) all these demands…
The telephone line must be busy !
I thought we, sitters, would be overwhelmed by new sits proposals (40 000 + must appear somewhere in the listings sent daily) but I don’t see much difference
Does this mean european members only see new listings from members living in Europe, and may be not all of them, and only a few listings from northern america. Is there a change everyday ? Which is the criteria ?
I read somewhere on the forum that “new” listings appeared as “new” only one day. But we never see thousands of new sits (it would take long to read). So what ? Where do they hide ? Is there a turn over ?
If I type USA in my search I don’t see thousands of adverts, does this mean all new american owners have quickly found sitters ? They seem luckier, then, than british ones who cry not to find any
Among the new members, is there a balance between owners and sitters, or more sitters ?
I think there are lot more sitters than HOs, maybe 4 times more (my impression)? So perhaps there could be just 20.000 HOs and 80.000 sitters? There are about 7K sits listed right now, but a lot of them are in the UK.
Hi @Candide thank you for once again highlighting our 100,000 member milestone achievement, I can remember a time when there were only two zeros behind the ONE.
