I Have a Cunning Plan...
I have a bit of an idea on how to attract new members.  I started a topic on Qbasic.  Did you notice how many people showed up to talk with me about it?  Well, maybe if we cover more broad ranges of topics, people will come and join the forum.  Then, they'll hopefully become curious about Lemmings, and take a look at it, and then-Wala!  New Lemmings fan and board member! :D :D :D

However, we must be careful.  If we start a Halo topic, or a topic about some other extremely popular game, then the Lemmings forum may become dominated by talk about other subjects!!!  Even if the General discussionboard is invincible to this, it will still feel weird I think.

Cool idea! What other discussions do you suggest?

Re: I Have a Cunning Plan...
Well, I made this forum as a Lemmings-Forum and currently I want to keep it as a Lemmings-Forum. Doesn't sound too bad, but maybe in the future.

And if you add too much topics after a while it would look weird. The Lemmings-Part would go under. No one would understand the lemmings-graphics.

Re: I Have a Cunning Plan...
We already have the Other Games area. Wouldn't that be enough?

Umm...yeah, I guess so.  Hm.  This is hard to decide on: Do or do not.  What to do.  Heh, polls for  everyone. :D

Re: I Have a Cunning Plan...
Then I'd have to say 'no'. If you think that'll really help, than I believe the Other Games forum should suffice. And Off-Topic as well.

And... well, personally, I don't really like large forums. I kinda prefer not having very many people. I don't truly like things getting too large and busy.

I think it's a reasonably good idea, though. Maybe if we get desperate. :P

Re: I Have a Cunning Plan...
Hmm...well, the poll speaks for itself.

Alright, I guess this idea is gone.

I didn't intend to flood the forum with members, I just wanted it to have more people.  This way you wouldn't have to wait a day or two for a new post(s).

Re: I Have a Cunning Plan...
Ah, but if the people we have posted more, it would accomplish the same thing. No?  :P

Re: I Have a Cunning Plan...
Yes, this is true, but no one can really stay on long enough to.  It's complicated, I think.
