Generate activity? - United Bimmer Community

**Rooz** · 10-10-2007, 11:45 PM

Hey everyone....

Well, I've been talking to a few new (brand spanking new) members that have registered and have not posted at all to try and see why, well, they won't post, lol.

And I got all kinds of answers somewhat all over board. But now I'd like to ask EVERYONE....

Bottom line is now as far as actual membership goes, we have increased that a ALLLLLLL lot, but we are lacking some serious activity - (Just to kind of give you an idea, I think we only had one or two actual new posts today) - . So, I'd like to ask everyone, what do you think would help us generate more threads and posts. Am really open to anything, if you feel shy to post your reply here, PM me. I really would love to get a lot of feedback on this.

SO, I might as well start us of, my ideas come from what I think would personally help and some of the feedback I received from others (that asked me to post it for them)....

1. Have a more user friendly posting interface,
2. Opening to the forum to non-members,
3. Removing the "edited by tags" when a post gets edited
4. Ability to do more smileys,
5. Changing the color scheme
6. Reseting the post counts of members
7.

PS: Am posting this in a few places to see what ind of responses I get

hehehe.

i dont see how reseting post counts will help. i mean we are a tight knit group of regulars and not dependant on post counts to establish a hiarchy

For those who mentioned getting c1apton to come back, he says hi and he's been very busy

Does anyone think that merging all these threads into one and leaving redirects to the merged thread in place of the eliminated threads would be of any use? If there is a second, I would like to suggest that this be done.

no, i think rooz intended for it to be in various subforums to get max. exposure and response, some areas are visited by some but not others.

I see. I thought the redirects would take care of that. My bad, I guess.

Actual posts get more attention when scrolling that redirects do

Well, it's all about the regulars. Better stuff? For what? Bimmers are pretty good right out of the box
