Time to get some new members here!

PS won't allow me any more changes to my avatar. Used up too many, already.

We could invite a Pro Player to the site and maybe even set up a tourney with him/her.

Pretty sure making the forums private discourages people to sign up.

Really? I think it does the opposite.

Sure, we'd have a lot more READERS if the forums were open, but I don't think we'd have any more posters.

When I'm going to join a new forum, I lurk for a couple days/weeks. Then, if I decide I want to comment, I join. I don't think I have ever just joined a forum not even reading any threads at all from the site.

If this forum was private when I first saw it, I probably would have just moved along and never joined. Of course, I'm sure there are some people that would like to have seen me move on.

TPOPS made me rofl. Sounds like a great plan.

And rofl at bunny defending all her "women with nice buns have a brain"........ mmmmmhmmmm, course they do. No longer ago than last night, i had a woman ask me what was in a Vodka Red bull..... and she has a stunning figure. And another the way to the pub she was already in.

Maybe you have a brain, but i havent seen your ass so i cant comment.

I agree with this, the forums should be open.

I like the fact it's set to private though, since we have pictures posted of ourselves.

If it's possible to lock some threads to keep them private, while opening the rest for public viewing ...I think that would be great.

It would also be an added incentive for someone trying to view those private threads ...to register in order to view them.

The best possible idea, if you could make it happen would be to :

Keep the poker discussion area open for public viewing and block off all the rest.

Now that my corporate proxy is allowing me through, I hope I can participate more. As such, I'd be happy to plug this forum in a post on the blog.

I always thought that this was a better forum than most, it managed to stay relatively on the mature side (some exceptions of course) and it being on the smaller side was actually a plus for me.

I'll put something up this weekend.

I too believe that removing the "privacy" of the board would help get new registrations.

Already taken care of.
