Getting More Users
How do we get more quality posters over here?
I think most of us can agree that what used to be the place for the highest quality comments is rapidly going down hill, and other places have always sucked. So how do we get the good people to come here?

Re: Getting More Users
I really think we just need to invite people, with the understanding it might take a couple of weeks/months for traffic to build. If we can get a few respected posters to frequent the place, things will start humming.

Re: Getting More Users
Hi all,
I was a regular reader, occasional poster on previous cougar message boards. I was happy to find this site based upon the familiar names and words of those who I enjoyed reading the most. There is a delicate balance in adding more people...because with a lot more people comes some of the same old problems as with previous sites.
Nevertheless...I am very pleased to find this board, read, and occasionally post.

Re: Getting More Users
Cougarcorner must be having success in getting the best users over here, because - hey - I'm here!
The more I see... the less I believe
The more I hear... the less I care

Re: Getting More Users
I would hope that the admin would have good control of moderation. I also would be SHOCKED if certain posters from other sites were able to post here without receiving an instant cancellation of their user privileges. There are some users that have shown they are only on other websites to cause problems. I would hope that would NOT be allowed here.po_pocoug wrote:I hope this site can be what the other used to be..

As for me, if a thread starts spiraling off topic, it will be moderated to bring it back. Personal attacks will not be tolerated, and trolls will have the lifespan of a beer can in Shiloah Teo's SUV. To me, a troll is someone who is posting with a vendetta/ulterior motive other than engaging in discourse, whether it be ad hominem attacks or selling shoes.
As far as how we get more users here--invite them. If there is someone who you think would appreciate this type of forum, invite them to join the dark-side and help us grow.
