As we know, the boards have slowed down a great deal from what they were at R&R. It's doing better than it could be doing, but it could also be doing a lot better.
So basically, just spread the word. We already submitted the boards to Google.

We already submitted the boards to Google. I have also sent both the Pulse 100 site and this board to the Yahoo directory. It's not a guarantee that it'll be listed, but it will be looked at by the Yahoo people. |

I will try to notify the Angela Ammons fans. Oh God, please no :( I know you mean well, Mineable, so thank you. :) But since these boards are chart based, I don't really know that an abundance of those discussions really pertain here. I still say we should send a mass email to members listed in the "Who's Not Here" forum, but with a really noticeable subject line like "R&R MESSAGE BOARDS." If the original subject line resd something like "Pulse Music Boards," they may have deleted it having no clue what it was (thinking it was spam). I say that's our best way to go right now. |

If we send an email to poohbaer78@hotmail.com tonight, we'll have at least 10 new members by the weekend... you know - Ole Miss Alum, Black Dog, Artie Ziff and co.

I don't know (m)any Angela Ammons fans. The message board at EFG is dead. :'(
I want Chet to come post! He is a mature poster.

If you guys have a banner, the wrestling board I'm a part of (I run the e-fed there) does this "banner exchange program"...Basically, we'll put your banner on our front page, if you do the same for us (it's also a proboards site)...
Would you be interested in that?...I don't know how many new people it could bring here, but it's still something...

I know lots of guys in their late 20s, most into alternative; I told one this weekend the addy, and will be happy to repeat it to them this sunday when I see them for football. For better or worse, they are all music fans, and if I can get them to contribute to the boards, it will be a great asset. However, like me, they are not the most politically correct bunch in the world, but I am pretty sure they will be more discreet than I was with my posts. And I won't speak for them one way or the other, but just as a forewarning...

I have the list now of everyone who e-mailed Josh right when R&R was closing. I'm going to send a mass e-mail out tomorrow.... some of you will also get it even tho you're already here, so sorry about that... but I can't possibly go through the entire list and figure out who's here and who isn't. I tried sending it out tonight already but comp was acting like a prick so I don't think it went out.

I don't understand - what's the rush to get hundreds of people on these boards? I would rather have 100 great posters than 1000 crappy posters who flood the forums with useless posts and threads. I say we let people wander in here at their own will and not do some mass immagration policy.

There were only a few bad apples at R&R out of over 5000 members. And besides, us admins and mods aren't going to let all this crap slide for as long as it happened on R&R. :) |

Ok I sent out the bulk emails. The only problem is in the last batch I forgot to enter a subject line, so that means about 20 people will get an email from an unfamiliar address saying "(no subject)" Maybe I should resend that one?

I'll glady promote the boards if I had a banner (small one), so I can put it on my webpage & maybe the other boards I post on.

I finally got an email today informing me of this place-thank god. The other places suggested for replacements just were not satisfying my radio/music message board needs.
I know of a few more people who might not know of this place-I will give them a heads up.

My only point was that people seemed to be complaining that there were not enough people here, and I would judge the boards more on quality on quantity. That is what I meant. I never meant to say others are crappy... |
