Coooooool

Thanks for participating, everyone. Please let me know if there's anything you would like to see changed, added or updated!

Now all we need is 3000 members.

Maybe we need some Cheerleaders.

I couldn't agree more

So, what do we need to do in order to get more people here? Post more pictures of scantly-clad women? It might not get more folks here, but it never hurts!

I would like to see another membership boom of 100 or more new members within a couple days' timespan. I think we're definitely moving in the right direction.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have more giveaways to hand out...how can we best use that to entice people to join? Another thing to consider is that we don;t just want people to join - we want them to participate!

I'm always open to ideas.

How about VGOF T-Shirts?. Maybe a combination AIG / VGOF design of some sorts?. If someone knows a person that's in that business, we could probably get a good deal. Then we can wear them to the gun shows, shooting range, gun shops, etc.

What do you think?.

I like that idea. However, in order to get any decent discount, we would probably have to buy quantity 250 or more. I also need to do some graphics work... do you want to go out in public wearing a silhouette target with bullet holes in it on your chest? hehe

contests are the best idea i have heard of i really like them given i still cant find that empty click spot

you could set one up that would be based on points

say 2 point for each person you get to join
and 1 point for each legitamate post that person makes within the time period

this way someone who gets 2 really interested people could make the win over someone who just went out and got 25 people to join

I'll give you a hint...it's somewhere within the bottom 3 inches of the topic pages

That sounds like a good idea - I think it would be difficult to track though. I'll poke around at it a bit. Thanks for the ideas!

i would be a little harder to do but a excel sheet can do wonders i will see if i can figure out a way for it to work and let you know
guess i can do a little more than just come up with the idea

now to find that spot

No need for a spreadsheet. I can query the database and get dates and times of new posts and new users if necessary.

I say sell your ammo to members only, if you can ever restock. You'll have more forum members than you know what to do with then.

[allingeneral]

hehe yep!

[cwats04]

members only with a minimum post count
thats a good one
i bet membership would jump dramatically
