bryanernest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 If all our current members were to encourage friends to join it would make a difference. I agree Marty we don't want to lose this Board but at the same time we need to keep irresponsibles away. Bryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JSKY Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I have put a link and an ad on my site to BTs here. And have mentioned the boards to others on other boards. Yes we have some VERY good people here. Some of the old TTVs Best of the Best. It's not easy to find the ones who need the help and to get them here. But I think we are all trying to do that.

I have done the same as Jsky. I not only have a link to B's site on mine, but I also have mentioned this place to several people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Me too Nerelda. I've trolled for members at other sites. We are very fortunate to have jcl here; I invited him to come over from G4. I've also got a link to Besttechie.net on my home page. Let's just spread the good word. Besttechie.net is a great digital home for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcl Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 (edited) We are very fortunate to have jcl here; I invited him to come over from G4.Unfortunately the first thing I did was get in an argument with K (stupid G4TTV instincts) and he seems to have since vanished, so we only broke even I've been thinking about nudging uberpenguin, but he made it pretty clear that he doesn't have the time.To be honest, I'm sort of afraid to advertise more widely and accidentally compromise the quality of these boards. As much as I'd like to see more traffic in the Linux boards (*hinthint*), I really don't want to see a lot of questions about PHLAK and endless "Why should I use Linux?" threads. Let alone the messes we sometimes had on the TTV boards. It's selfish, I know. Edited October 22, 2004 by jcl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macmarauder Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 i'd invite more friends but out of the few online freinds i have they already invited me here first. ;) i'd also gladly put a link on my site but it's traffic has slowed down to nothing. so that wouldn't help either. maybe we just need to talk more?

Hi jcl,Yeah, I also invited uberpenguin; he expressed mild interest, but, also mentioned that he didn't have the time what with his engineering courses at university. I'm hopeful that at some point he'll also come on board.I also had a scrap with K, so maybe it was me, jcl.I'm very happy here with the quality of people that're present. People here are happy, polite. There isn't the tension that is present at other boards. We're lucky to be here.This board will continue to naturally grow I think.

martymas Posted October 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 thanks for the replys team .im limited in enticing posters here because i dont have a site and i wonder between boards trying to coerce posters. recently i talked 2 members here and one turned out to be from nz like me so i acheived some thing for his sake id like to keep his name anon.but he goes betewwn boards and ends up here.so i agree we must not let this board fade away.i like it here so i can relax .i got into a war of words with some one who disagreed with me.and started slanging instead of talking it out with reason.over the use of cookies .i learned the cookiy thing from people like pete, chappy, goliath.ect form techtv cfh so wasnt going to back down.ive since recieved a pm appoligising for our we thing .tho ide forgotten about it once ide signed off .so yes we must keep this board going.like some one says there are dam good people here starting with beluga. you take care marty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
