Best time to grow the forum is probably in the fall when real sports start up around around and the planet.

Flyers at local games would be the best bet so you can get some word of mouth going. Also, making the place as newb friendly as possible is the best bet to keep them here.

Just saying...

Right. And the moderators are all on the same page now.

Correct, the fall is going to be key. But starting now is a good idea, I think.

I think LJ used to teach that class or something. Hopefully he gave you a discount rate.

We let things get out of control. We realize this. It doesn't mean we can't take steps to change the place to make it more inviting for others. It's either this or I give up and shut the site down.

And he made us all take those fucking classes. And they cost $150 out of pocket. I never knew giving a shit could be so costly...

The best part is I got my classes for free and got a referral fee from getting you guys to take them.

I like all the ideas I have seen put out there. As long as the mods are on the same page I think things will be fine. Im all for change. Im not sure if everyone here will feel the same though. Only time will tell if they do.

Create a forum where LJ is not allowed to post at all, and this place will thrive
