Reply To: How do we get more activity here?
Just an update on this:
I’ve now done pretty much everything I can to up the activity here. I’ve invited a lot of my favourite film score people, via mail, Facebook or PMs. Some have registered, some have not. A couple have posted once or twice, many have not. I’m guessing many lurk, or are simply not interested. And of course I also post a lot myself (too much!) to keep it alive. If I don’t, it dies within a week.
The “ideal” I hope for is to see an average of 10 new posts every day, for a lively, healthy forum. That’s not really out-of-reach, I think, when you think that that’s the amount of new posts on FSM or JWFAN within 10 minutes. But we’re not there yet.
I have one final trick up my sleeve: The ressurection of the Zoom chats. Maybe some 5 sessions first, to see how it does. I’m just waiting for my health to improve a little bit, and also finding someone with a Premium Zoom account I can borrow, so we don’t have to log off and on every 40 minutes. “Silent member” Bregt might help me out here, we’ll see.
Finally, I might require some help from the existing members. Not to be PR people all over the place, that’s too big an ask. But for example, if you discuss something on another board and then say “we actually talked a bit about this on the Celluloid Tunes board”, maybe with link, then that might help. Just a mention that comes from someone other than me. If you want, of course. No pressure.
FYI, we are currently 64 registered users here (legit users, no spam accounts…they are deleted regularly), out of which 6-7 are active participants.
OK, end of update.
