Hello All, So I was thinking today how I could get my new forum (not totally finished yet) going with some active posts and users and I thought of this idea after reading a bunch of ideas in other topics. Maybe it's just me, but I'm a little scared to bring in new people to my forum due to the fact I have "0" posts and they will just leave immediately. My friends aren't really into the whole "internet forum" deal so I don't think they would help much. We could start some sort of post exchange here with DP members who are starting new forums or just would like to have some more active posts. Post your forum here and if any of us are knowledgable in the subject or would like to learn more about the subject at hand, we could get some good posts started. After a month or so I think we could really help eachother out to the point where we could start getting users who will sign up and post because they see the forum is active. Sorry if this idea has already been brought up, but I searched and couldn't find anywhere that it was. Does this sound like something anyone starting a new forum would like to try? Thanks and comments or ideas are appreciated! Alex
If you have a look in the buy, sell and trade section you may find someone wanting a post exchange in the content creation section, if not, start a thread for it in that section and Im sure you will get some response. Good luck with it!
Hey thanks for the idea princess. I just tried to post though and I guess I can't for a month because I got a "red card" the other day for asking someone to PM me in a post. It's so hard to follow every forums guidelines sometimes cause ever board is different. I guess I'll have to wait a month or if anyone sees this thread and wants to PM me, I'm willing to do a post trade or .05 a post. Thanks everyone. Alex
I like the idea. In a perfect world it would be nice. But how could you be sure others trade properly? AND if they trade, will the posts be quality? What would help is an area to annouce forums like the directory section, with one caveat: It not be a competing forum DP Oh well. I'm a skeptic and a dreamer.
