    Exclamation Help Us Get To 500,000

    There are a couple of big directories we're trying to get into but they only include forums with over 500,000 posts. We are at 349,000.

    Some members that primarily chat in the shoutbox could post more in the main part of the forum and others that lurk could get more involved with the discussions. Please remember that we are still looking for quality, not just quantity. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I can't speak for Drum Bum but in my world, that's cheating.

    I don't think anyone's in trouble here 2slow. They're just trying to reach a goal and encouraging everyone to post more.

    This brings up an interesting topic to mind. Another site i'm a member of, from time to time get requests for a chat. Time and time again, the request is denied on several key grounds. The first being it's potential as a playground for spammers, so they had a few members push for a post limit before being granted permission to use this feature. Another concern was the worry that allowing a chat or shoutbox on a forum, of any type will reduce traffic towards total threads. I suppose looking at that in an objective manner I can say it might or it might not, depends on the members.

    In the end the administration there declined many requests(all with valid points), as they didn't want to distract from the main goal of getting questions answered via threads. I don't think that necessarily applies here however. In fact, drumchat is a fine example of how a site can take an idea and successfully integrate it, while still keeping it's original goal alive and well. My point is that it's a good community that determines the participation despite having a distraction such as the shoutbox.

    Those posts will come, with or without shoutbox or dare I say OT threads such as counting game, change a letter, etc. One great move that you guys did was enable post counts for the OT section- and that will overtime greatly increase numbers and encourage participation. So thanks for that as well. I agree also that quality over quantity is a good policy to have, so keeping that in mind is probably what holds some back from posting more. I have found it best to increase posts by helping people where possible, and I will continue to try this, until no longer able. Cheers.

    Great post Russ (no pun intended). Yea, I like how they balance things here. We don't get everything we want but they still try to give back. I think it will only continue to get better.

    On a serious note, don't forget this line in su_admin's post:

    Please remember that we are still looking for quality, not just quantity.
    I noticed a couple of you posting just a few words in every post. This is not what he meant. It only detracts from the quality of the forum. Please balance out your posting and make sure that much of it is substantive. If you occasionally want to say something like "Yea, me too" or "I love those drums", or even something silly in the silly threads, that's fine. But if we look through your posts and find that every one of them is like that or that it appears you're just trying to get your post count higher, you will be receiving a PM from a moderator. Let's keep the integrity of the forum up guys.

    Thanks everyone.
