I guess I kept the forum going when it was quiet and now it's picked up again!!! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glamrockcom-site-info/newbies-say-hi#post-26593 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:07:51 +0000 KarKing Jack 26593@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Hah, you make an excellent point.<br /> I'm glad it was closed down, then, I guess <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>I know, as well, quite normally, if I join a site with a welcome forum, I wait for my welcome before I start using the site -- like knocking on the door. And since here its unreasonable to welcome everyone, I'm sure it drives a lot of members away.</p> <p>Good stuff <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glamrockcom-site-info/newbies-say-hi#post-26592 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:02:55 +0000 glamster 26592@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Let's trial it for the time being having no dedicated newb threads or forums. <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif' alt=':|' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>Having these in the first place was my idea <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_idea.gif' alt=':idea:' class='wp-smiley' /> . When the GlamRock.com forums started, the software driving them wasn't as extensively used as say pHpBB and vBulletin but thanks to Wordpress, bbPress has both exploded in use and improved in userfriendliness. The purpose of Newb threads/forums was to get people used to driving the interface, especially when the site was in startup mode. <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=':wink:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>Some newbs got pissed off because some were officially welcomed and they were overlooked <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_cry.gif' alt=':cry:' class='wp-smiley' /> . That's been a downside...for valuable community members such as Retroman to be the doorman when he has for more to contribute. <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>In hindsight, the newb forum ran a year longer than it should have. <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_eek.gif' alt='8O' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>With the newbies thread, of the newbs that posted, around 90% never posted again. If a newb has just one post to make, wouldn't it be better if they provided an ounce of insight on a Motley or a hamburger thread instead of saying just fucking saying 'hi'.....? <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif' alt=':roll:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glamrockcom-site-info/newbies-say-hi#post-26567 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:49:52 +0000 KarKing Jack 26567@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Oh, skein. I did actually read that, but it didn't mention getting rid of the forum...</p> <p>That makes sense, really. Did the thread for introductions stick around? </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glamrockcom-site-info/newbies-say-hi#post-26566 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:45:34 +0000 Retroman 26566@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Check this post from <strong>Admin</strong>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.glamrock.com/blog/forum/topic/check-first-before-starting-a-new-thread-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.glamrock.com/blog/forum/topic/check-first-before-starting-a-new-thread-1</a> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glamrockcom-site-info/newbies-say-hi#post-26565 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:38:08 +0000 KarKing Jack 26565@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Forums gone?<br /> I'm sure there was one.
