The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

:idea:

I don't mind doing this and I'd just like to see what everyone else thinks. Mainly the gods above (Chris, Nock and Uglybob) don't want to be dragging in people that people DON'T like. But Ill give it a try.

Just wanted to know if the idea of e-mailing people that have shown small elements of interest by posting a message in the guest book.

I know we have seen some great people leave the site for reasons beyond our control, but it would be nice to see new people come in and share their thoughts on things including Moyles.

What does everyone think?

If it's alright and everyone is cool about it, then I'll start. If not, I won't bother.

if people want to join the board, they will. if people want to "commit" to it as benjo says, they will. i don't think recruitment is needed.

If you really want to then you can try but I'm sure it won't make much difference.

Surely the best way to increase the number of people committed would be to focus on keeping the regular posters on-board (excuse the pun). Then new members are more likely to join as they feel they are likely to get more out of it.

er, wouldn't u like to see new people come on to the message board? surely the likes of stevotrash and co can be replaced with new talent by simply doing something.

Adam, Stop posting two posts in a row - If you forget to say something just edit your origianl post - this was one of Jonny's ways of getting a higher post count and it's annoying - I've seen you do this in about three different threads today!

On the main subject, I don't think this board needs recruitment, if people wanna join they will!

i personally wouldn't mind seeing new people join the board, as i am a newbie myslef. however, i think the quality of the new members will be better if they come here on their own. nobody asked me to join, i did so because i wanted to. if you really want more new people here, what you need to do is be welcoming, friendly and not such a prat. that goes for everybody on the board.

Adam, please don't. Spamming is particularly bad practice - they didn't 'sign up' for it when they left messages in the guestbook so I'd rather they didn't receive email on the topic.

Maybe some promotion on the main page is needed .. what about some funky pop--up telling people to look at it .. or woul dthat p1ss people off more than draw they to the board?

Personally I don't think it's that quiet .. I don't see the big deal.

*the boss has spoken. i was waiting for this one.

chris,

i wasn't going to go straight off and do it. thats the whole point of my post. i just want to see new people come in. it was just an idea that i thought might work. remember the time when loads of people were leaving, uglybob, everlast, stevotrash were all saying their byes or semi-byes.

they go and sign the guest book cos' they think this is the official chris moyles site. they also think chris is going to read it.

anyway- like i said- its was just an idea. it didn't hurt anyone.

What is it with people quoting the message just above when they do a direct reply? Is it because you stupid and can't follow the thread unless you do it?

i personally hate the majority of guests on this cos they only come in when they are looking something. Also on the guestbook there seems to be a mixup cos they always think that this is the official moyles website. i could do without these mixups transferring to here too.

Eddie , time for a change in sanitary wear methinks. If you moderate like that than why bother. Adslynch brings valid points to the debate, and you gun him down. this is the kind of behavoiur which detracts from new members posting as much...

Stop being so pedandtic

I thought that was probably the least picking on Adam reply I'd ever written. What are you moaning about?
