Post a thread to the forum week next week.

[Dan]

Edit: please only reply if you're getting involved. I will remove negative threads.

Doing a thing. Let's see if it works.

Going to encourage (via a notice) people to post a new thread to the forum about anything at all, every day for a working week.

During the whole of next week (mon 19th - fri 23rd inclusive) I'd love for all members to aim to try and post 5 threads over the course of the week.

I'll join in and get Lou to join in too. Hopefully staff who are on next week do but I know holidays and things mean it's not always possible.

Please spread the news on all the pages you're all on and stuff please. With their admin permission of course. (Some don't like us so don't worry about them ones).

Let me know what you think about this idead by replying to this thread.

I think I've got them all there but if I haven't please let me know and I'll add it to this list.

Thank you so so much for having a bash at this 'game'. I'll be able to monitor traffic on them and see if it helps keep people here a little longer. Which I think already it has done.

Let's see if we can all get the full five days lol we might get a bit thin towards the end but let's see. I've made notes on 2 more for me, I seem to think about something juuuuuust as I'm drifting off - then I have to go find a pen and pad or something (if I touch my phone I'm on it for at least 15 minutes ha).

 

[Dan]

PM Sent out to regulars to see what they think of the idea, and to see if they're willing have a go of this.

Could start thinking of something to post a thread about now. Make notes privately else your idea might get pinched lol

But as a quick guide for me can you just gimme a yes in reply as to whether you'll be up for giving this a go for me?

It'll really help the forum out financially - as threads mean traffic means income for the forum.

Wondered if we could do it every 3 months then if it works. Because there may be loads of threads we can all then reply to as well as our own. Could really boost the forum a lot if it pulls off.

 

[littlespark]

Let’s see…. Dads recovery?….. new Lego? ….. Whether eldest actually makes it to Korea…..

Yes. I think I’ve got plenty of input to give

 

[westward10]

I know a thread theme which is likely to get a lot of hits. It is on an unrelated forum I go on and at present has 3k+ posts.

 

[littlespark]

You talking about us on other forums, Westy? No wonder my ears are burning.

 

[Moley]

Sad, sad sad! A thread on how to throw away money?

 

[westward10]

I've deleted it as I think you can see me logged on, I think.
Nothing wrong with a horse racing forum it has thoroughly wealthy members.

 

[Dan]

How about we only reply now if we are on board lol

Don't Want put the newbies off trying now do we?

 

[plugsandsparks]

OK will give it a go about a job that i finished today (EICR) - its probably a day in the life for many.....

 

[Dan]

Yeah it can be about anything but some can be electrical. The forum benefits 3-fold as members are on, and now there are more threads than normal on a day, which will rank and in turn bring more people who can join in.

It can be offputting for newbies but if this is a regular, more will ask more things I promise you (had emails saying so).

So let's roll with it. And be less negative please. I've sent mass emails to this thread so I might clean it up tomorrow and reword the OP.

Thanks kindly to those joining in.

Could even be a new tag for those who do 5 over the week and it stays for 3 months or 6 months when we do it again. Maybe. Just thinking out loud. A way for new members to earn another tag than arms.

 

[Rockingit]

I'm game, spending a lot of time in airports next week so will be bored anyway. Might need reminding though!

 

[Dan]

I tell you what, those who join in, get a new badge.

Would that sway any of you who are unsure?

 

[Dan]

My first thread is in the bag I know what I'm doing but day 2 to 5 I'm struggling with but I'll soon get into the groove.
