How do we attract more members to this Forum?

[Guest]

Was a joke Colin, but you continue on with your abuse. Happy new year.

I thought one good insult deserved another. Happy new year to you too.

No insult, just dry humour. Whatever....

I think that comment there demands a 6 month banning, Daisy.

you want to attract more nuff nuffs to this site? Why? Think you might learn something?

I too agree with the general tenor of the thread.

I enjoy the read and dont always have time or inclination to respond.

Usually I send some worthless contribution that at least makes me feel better.

I do really appreciate the quick, witty and often very clever irony that just seems to spark especially from those contributors who know each other well and have continued sniping at each other until they run out of said clever invective. They usually keep me entertianed as I hope it is is friendly rivalry and not real hatred. The discussions usually bring out the best lenes so please please dont moderate them out of the game.

I reckon moderators do a great job usually letting contributors know when they are getting out of hand.

So Yeah I enjoy Dland

some moderators are overly sensitive, their is nothing wrong with some verbal flagellation"" from time to time (quote, unquote)

Sadly, I have the suspicion that ENYAW is some kind of high conceptual artist like Steve Aoki or Phillip Glass and the deeper meaning conveyed within his posts is tragically wasted on and grossly underappreciated by the plebians who infest Demonland.

Hahahaha! ENYAW is Philip Glass

Composer of the great "Koyaanisquatsi" soundtrack

Hahahaha totally brilliant observation

I think you could replace the lyrics (?) in this song with one of ENYAW's sharp observations and nothing would really change for the better or worse.

Maybe a new slogan on the banner which reads Demonland: Will Drop Pants For Members

WTF are talking about Biff? Half the time in summer you walk around St Kilda beach with no pants on, sporting only a pair of binoculars around your neck.

Maybe a better question is: 'how to attract more female members/supporters' to this forum!! After 3 years of reading I can count about 6 brave souls: Sweet Dee, Jaded, Jane02, Demondame and Demons4flag...food for thought there guys...

Maybe if people stopped attacking the new members then lurkers would be more encouraged to start contributing. Too many times I see posters with less substantial post counts dismissed based on their newbie status. It's very off-putting to people who love the club just as much as you, and discourages new members and new ideas and discussions from taking place.

Post count holds too much gravitas on this forum by some members.

Used to happen. Very rare now. In fact new posters are generally welcomed and encouraged. Off the top of my head, I more often recall posters who are relatively new having a crack at those who have been on 'land for some time using their high post count as reasoning.

I was told to get back in my place when I'd logged around 30 posts, but I haven't seen much of it since then. Indeed there have been a few first posts that have attracted all sorts of positive responses and lit up the 'like' button.

Posters who launch into gratuitous insults because they've got nothing else are much more likely to put the casual reader off joining. Just because Hannibal has taken his elephants elsewhere doesn't mean the habit has gone too.

I didn't know we were talking about recently. I've seen it a few times, how am I supposed to find the examples?

You are if you want me to agree it's a problem.

I have seen the more verbose and dim members on here say it a handful of times in the last decade, have not seen it recently and would make the person know it BS if I did.

The only thing that has come close recently would be when opposition teenage supporters troll the site during trade week and some on here question the veracity of a one post supporter claiming Nathan Jones is off to Essendon...

It doesn't happen as much as it used to which is good. I got a relatively mild bake from some in my early days on 'Land (and won't name who so I don't restart old battles) but I usually give as good as I get.
