Small Boards: Unite!
I have posted a similar thread at vbuelltin.com. Read it here.
It is extremely frustrating having a board but no members. Surfing around the web I realized that I am not alone. How about helping each other and become a member to the other board? I mean we have nothing to lose! Now, I have created a myspce group (I don't know if I am allowed to post a link. If not delete the link.) http://groups.myspace.com/messageboard I think it is a good idea for newcomers to help each other. |
This would be a great idea except for the fact that allot of the members you would get wouldn't probably be active members very long after their registration. Which means you would have a lot of inactive members and that would be just as bad if not worse, than having few members.
I guess the amount of members I have has never really been a big issue with me as long as the ones I do have are active and contributing post and thread wise. |
then you might want to look at www.adminfusion.com and try the postfusion feature. tell em LOW sent you
postfusion will help you |

Thank you low for the board! Boofo: I have to read what postfusion is. I think my idea is simply networking. Espacially, when it comes to myspace.com |
I've joined that group =] As I have 36 members :|
|
Well than register on my board ;) Currently I am doing this with yours!
|
Done =]

I really dont understand why people do this sort of thing.
Basically the only people who are going to join are owners of other sites who will never come back after registering. You better off just making fake usernames on your own. |

Multiple personalities is the way forward.
i.e., have FF, IE, and Opera on your PC, create 3 usernames and log into each (one on each browser). Then sit and chat to yourself for a bit. Repeat each day. After about a week, create one more username and replace one of the logged in ones with that for a few days, then swap back again. As long as you don't get caught out doing it, then you can get away with it for quite a long time. |
I'm sorry but I dont understand what we're on about this thread is about getting our boards more popular yar?

By having activity, even by talking to yourself, encourages other people who register to particpate. |

Anyway, sometimes it's the only way that you can get someone to agree with you, and if they don't then there is nothing like a good agruement with yourself. |

really so then have you been to adminzone ?? did those members never come back? lol postfusion is a way to exchange good posts and tutorials with other admins and mods. if you post 5 posts on my site and we have agreed thru postfusion then i will do the same on your site and it will be tracked. a good thing for people that dont want to make fake names. whats the point of that? |

if TAZ is an exception ok then. but that doesnt mean that AF will not be a success. the system they have set up there is exclusive to AF and works great. if you have time check it out. true about the numbers comment , but thats because there are so many forums. im sure everyone here has a complete list of competitors sites so ofcourse everyone wants the most members. |

great way for admins to think. i think you have a good way of looking at things. it doesnt hurt to get members and good posts in. |

TAZ is a site of site administrators. How many normal, non-webmaster people are on there? I doubt any. Im confused by your point. |

Wait... |

Really, I think communities evolve, there isn't any fast shortcut. I started out with three people, and a topic that had competition from every corner of the internet. Now I have about 20 regular posters, but they didn't have to be lured in with a lot of smoke and mirrors, they're there because they want to be there. And if everyone leaves, I'll figure there's no need for the board anymore and go do something else with my time. |

It's kind of the "write about what you know" priniciple, except with boards. What makes me delurk and register and post on a board is a topic I have some sort of two cents about - like this one. If all the topics are sort of general, like "talk about small boards here!" that's not going to be enough to get people out of the rafters. I'd say that rather than making a lot of posts for the sake of having lots of posts, people should think up a really good topic that lurkers can't resist giving their opinion on, and the rest takes care of itself. (And it should be a topic they're interested in themselves - if the topic starter isn't interested, why would anyone else be?) |

I'm judging success on the basis of: other people have found it useful/helpful, and it's been useful/helpful to you. That was my criteria. I'm sure the people who use it are grateful it's there. :)

Boofo,
one of my board members knows someone who could really use your site --- he's a nice bloke and has been very unfairly damaged. I am going to get that person sent on to you. __________________ Unfortunately, LostGirl, while I have lots of lost theories, I do not know the show y'all are speaking of, so I can't join up there, I would have nothing to say. |
