i have been thinking of a way to get this place more active.(than it already is)


Kirupa- is there a feature for a mass email all of your members? i was thinking that some people could of lost this site, and want to come back.

This just might bring more people here.

just a thought,
i will try to think of more cool things to add to the discussion. :geek: :beam:

perhaps rather than a blanket email thingy to all you could kill two birds with one stone by compiling a list of innactive names ::

lessThan or equal to 'XnumOf posts'... of names older than (¿3 months?)

and ask them to reply to keep / or lose the registration of said name

(...we're cleaning house and haven't heard from you for awhile...)

You got to be clear. This would also take care of a common problem though. It would give ua chanceto free up some names. Give ppl on the inactive list a month or two to respond. Then you cna start to eliminate some of used names.

i think we should do relands idea. cause i dont see any e-mails that come to my box via here cause its a new dummy account that i dont use (so spammed out, like 100-200 spams daily.)
