It's a 2 way street, though, players have an equal role to play, & THEY have to do their bit as well. A thread went up yesterday announcing the League Winners, altogether, with the 2nd chance Freeroll qualifiers, some £10,000 to £15,000 worth of prizes were announced. It got exactly ONE reply, & that does not really count, as it was from me.
If I were to run a Free to Enter Forum Fun Comp tomorrow, it's get 100+ entrants of course. And I can, but there has to be some sort of payback via increased Business &/or Community interest. I can't see much evidence of the latter really.
It would certainly be a shame to lose it, but I'm not aware of any plans by The Business to close it, I'm pleased to say, but both parties need to contribute.
A better welcome to Members? Yup, make them feel welcome here, encourage them to post more. I try to reply to all new posters, but not many do bar the usual handful.
An interesting topic, overall. We can't force players to post or interact here. Social-Media, FaceBook, Twitter & so on are changing the way we interact, & most forums are in decline. We could make this one the exception though, but it needs 2 to tango.
Many players of course use it as a "complaints" Forum, which is why all other "tied" Forums have closed, as the Forums were being used as a stick to beat the site with.
I'm not saying it is ALL the players fault, far from it. I think my views on the Forum Software are fairly well known, both amongst the players, & The Business.
Anyway, a good post, & yes, the post count has certainly dropped since Easter UKOPS. We had a real nice atmo on here during Easter UKOPS, & the Daily UKOPS reviews were well-received. Deffo been a little flat since then, though. Partly my fault, I accept, as I usually "seed" the Community, but I'm up against it with one thing & another right now.
We shall see. Together we can do it.
.....And like that......he's gone.
Sadly for me, I was too young in the 90s to see all these down the cinema. No issues for you in that respect.
Young.
Nothing like a bit of online abuse to boost the post count.
I'm big enough and sexy enough to take it though. Water off a ducks back.
I can't be the only one. I think us readers/non-posters are going to have to up our post counts and support those of you who put yourselves out there and allow us a little peek into your lives. I may just pop in randomly and tell you about my day, it'll be good for the insomniacs.
Todays offering...got up, made scrambled eggs on toast, consumed same. Showered, dressed, drove to golf club, met 2 pals. Spent 9 holes bemoaning endless groups of elderly lady golfers for ridiculously slow play( golf should seldom take longer than 1 3/4 hours per 9 should it? Even thats leisurely.), hacked it round. Cheered up when they all quit after 9. Hacked it round a little quicker on back 9. Consumed 2 pints and a buttie sat in sunshine. Drove home, sat out back in more sunshine(that was summer.). Went inside, turned computer on. Played several DYMs, some featuring a plump Yorkshireman. Lost a few quid. Typed this. Chicken Madras for tea in a minute. Mrs Spank out at Netball practice tonight and I can't face Arsenal/West Brom so gonna enter a few tourneys and probably win the Main later on. Probably watch an episode of Daredevil after unless its really late. Rock and Roll Baby, live fast, die young and all that.
Man, they're all gonna be begging for more along those lines.
Back on topic, you are right about the links on the left. Lots of redundant ones need removing and a few of the others could be condensed into one. The clinic used to get a lot more posts before the strat tabs appeared. No mention of our Ambassador and his musings anywhere yet theres still a link to Thewy's blogs even though he's no longer sponsored and actually back doing a proper job. A little tidy up is all it needs.
Timmy will be back off his jollies and posting soon, that'll help yourself and TK keep the forum ticking over.
Now if we can just tempt Dev and Lambo back into action.......
Bonafide genius or overrated?
Somewhere in between for me.
Purple Rain and Sign O The Times are pure classic albums. The rest of it just kind of washed over me. Insipid almost.
I'm showing my age here, you two do remember him don't you?
I dread the day, however many years down the line, that my musical heroes from my formative years start popping their clogs. In theory it should be a while away, but 2016 has been brutal so far for celeb deaths so you just never know.
