New Members

[Barman]

We obviously need some new members to keep up the fast-paced wit and banter that we all love? Cosy as it is here I?m sure we?ll all be sick to death of each other soon.

We could advertise ? but that costs money and would probably require us to have those adverts hanging over the urinals and stuff to fund it which I'm sure we really don?t want.

It strikes me that if we all just introduced two active members and they introduced two and? well you get the idea. At the end of the week we?d have 2 x 2 x 2, um loads?

So can I suggest that if you are posting on another site or e-mail somebody that you think would fit in, you mention this one? Of course, you may feel that additional members would spoil our clique in which case I?m happy to continue to serve you all (although not clean the bogs every day).

We could have a reward scheme where introducing a new member earns +100 karma points and the first to 1,000 earns, um something if you like? Of course, we?d have to set everything to zero and sort out the cheaters and bribe-takers from behind the bar first?

It would help somewhat if the silent members would say something from time to time.
Surely there are enough subjects to find one to join in with ~ or start another of your own.
Why join and then say nowt?
I agree with recruiting being necessary but some of us belong only to one or two boards. Finding new members on other boards does give a chance of seeing if they are wreckers first but it is not without its problems ~ For example I do not expect to be a member of two boards for much longer and most boards will have you off their list before you can blink if you try recruitment on them.  There are other methods of communication of course and perhaps we should explore these as well.  confused1:

Ooooh a seance! That should be fun.

Maybe you should pay for advertising with novelty gifts and out-dated calendars.

Perhaps the site itself could have Viagra pop-ups as well?

And, of course, we are not entirely sure who is here already are we

SPIES?
WTF is there to spy on FFS?

If that's the case, the words 'needing to get a life' spring to mind.

Dare I say - as a new member the 'banter' seems too 'in joke' and when you post a reply the in jokes carry on at the newbies expense, you don't know whats going on and some of it is not exactly encouraging.

I read posts, lots of obscure stuff going on I don't know about so can't really add anything.

I think main members really need to open up more and give newbies a break - in other words don't be such a bunch of smart arses (and I exclude wench from this - she holds her end up very well )!!!

  You gotta point there. So a big fat sorry to you and anyone else who feels that way.
'Tis true some of us have been at this for a while elsewhere but we have tried not to bring old habits with us.
