Hey Everyone. I was wondering what your ideas were to help promote this discussion forum. We've talked about it in past Online Meetings, but nothing has been done. How can we get past members to get active again?

for the attraction of new members we could make banners with YFCI on it maybe one that directs you to the page.. And for the current non posting members besides the already suggested email with changes in the org and links to hot topics I don't know maybe a more personal exchange with the people that don't post but that you know, like asking them directly on MSN or Yahoo or what ever.. Other than that I don't really have an idea I'll think about it tonight..

Yes it's a persistent issue. Perhaps changing the look of the forums would help...we could like make it more visually appealing...
Sending them emails or requests makes them feel we send too many mails (as pointed out by one member in an email), offering karmas and monthly best thread award is not helping much...we're also featuring hot topics on the YFCI homepage, but all these have not helped improve the situation. So what else do we do that promotes the forums and at the same time, does not cause any inconvenience or botheration to the members??

Sending them emails or requests makes them feel we send too many mails (as pointed out by one member in an email) ^^ that's really true, let's find some other way than sending emails, maybe we should send a monthly updating email that wud sumarize how was the month and what's up with YFCI in that particular month? I can definitely do that and we should include the links of YFCI in mails that we send, like all of the links... or what do u say?

I think is thread is the most important to be (Pin! Thread of the month =) we really need to gather more recruits (k, sounding like a soldier xD) to join our cause and become stronger, and our objective: the strongest pro-active group in the whole net wooohooo! In order to do it, the key is marketing ppl like marketing stuff, let's get 'em into it and then make them like the YFCI folklore I'll try to make some stuff to promote the site even further and see which pages could come in handy for us to advertise ourselves. We need external promotion too Here is a little advance on stuff i'd like to make Season greetings: Famous sayings btw we still have the prom vid X____X lotta stuff to do guys :] Edit: st aff is changed to st uff. Whoop Whoops
Edit(2): If you are hanging into other forums, please advertise YFCI in ur sig with some pretty picture or witty message =)

Those banners look totally Awesome I already gave u a negative Karma but I was in hurry to comment Each one can use them (( with ur approval and ur name in the reference ) on her\his blog and tell other friends to promote for us.... The YFCI blog can be added to Blogexplosion.com for more visitors who might be interested in the forums ;D another site is www.eblogzilla.com/ and when we comment on other's blogs we can always leave a link to the forums or the blog ;D hope it helps

I've got an idea; we could reward members with the most karma (or when a new member gets 25 or something; we could give something to them.. idk what.. ).

I've got an idea; we could reward members with the most karma (or when a new member gets 25 or something; we could give something to them.. idk what.. ). yeeeeahhh that's it NICE IDEA maybe something ranging from a simple oekaki(1) to honour prizes xD (*lacks any idea*) oekaki is the most common option (1) Usually, when the visitor number (for example) 1000 enters the site, the owner must draw them what they want or do a layout, avatar, signature, wathever, congratulating them. P.S: I can't even reach +1 karma cause dun wanna xD
