The NZA Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 As is customery every last week of september at least since metalhearts had the idea , those watching the calednar know this week is Subforum week, meaning all subs will be set as regular forums on the main page, in hopes of attracting new blood to them! All will participate this year, except for the naughty Debate Hall who's just not ready in time this year. As a special added event, the new subforums of Fight Club will launch within their today; hopefully, we'll have a feel for them soon as well, but for now, try your hand at Project Mayhem, Hondo's first true forum of anarchy, where anyone can edit/delete/pin/etc just like a mod...we'll see what comes of it. If youve ever wanted to see Anime, the Powder Room etc get more attention, now's your time to show it some love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonfire Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Maybe just leave some of em on the main page. Anime and the Grill seem to have a following all of their own for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 personally i think it shows off our diversity more to any of the Voyeur guests we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aartemys Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Yeah, I agree. I say keep 'em up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 i agree that too many clogs us up, i also agree that some should stay on top. which ones, is open to debate/voting/seeing what kinda action they got this week...if youd like to see any one corner on top, make your case here!

the division of joy Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 i think on the action they've gotten so far this week, powder room and possibly the grill.... but its early doors yet... i still think the new fc has kinda... flopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnotizinChikns Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 yar the new FC's are not doing so well. Altho Mayhem has a promising draw, just no one is going in there. I'm loving the idea of The Powder Room being a permenant non-subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 theyre all viable candidates, to an extent. again, ill likely get a poll going after the week's done, i for one've been thinking anime should come back. as for the new FC, its kinda a beta, isnt it? the new subforums were still empty last i checked, shit needs irnoing out...i just set it up, legwork's thankfully not mine to do, but anyway, i dont think weve really seen it yet.

Aartemys Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 My dream might finally be a realization. I always wanted The Powder Room to be a main forum... I also agree with DoJ about the Food & Grill forum to be permanent I've also noticed that the Magic 8-Ball has also been getting love much-needed love...

The NZA Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 What ive decided to do is, every year we do subforum-love week, right? and when it finishes, we put it to a vote, and the winning subforum gets granted full forum status for an additional month. After said month, we do another, final poll (this time, no annonymous votes; everyone has to chime in & say why), to see if it stays on permanent-like or not. What's everyone think? it could add to the event, and give the more popular/viable ones a chance to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnotizinChikns Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 That sounds like a good plan. a spotlight for each forum would give them all chance to attract more posters, if you don't mind me asking, what sort of promotion do you do for Hondo's as a whole?

HypnotizinChikns Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 okay, how do people find out about this place? besides word-of mouth (which seems to be what gets the majority of people to come here). i'm just being nosey, there is no cut to any of my jib. I'm not even sure what a jib is, or why i'd want to cut it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 ah, you mean pimping/advertising in general...well, yeah, mostly word-of-mouth. our myspace campaign didnt really seem to bring many lasting members, neither did our one day on wikipedia or uh, t-shirts will, id wager. i think the best way weve gotten people is placing ads in signatures on other sites/forumsb, and having our host site structure us in a way that keeps the googlebots, and other indexing bots, constantly here - theyre the majority of the nameless guests at any time. random-ass google searching is like our next biggest recruiter to word-of-motuh, but were always open to new ideas to get people in. check out towards the very bottom of the FAQ to see a list of all the sites were on, i think we got a recent facebook entry too?

Aartemys Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yep you did...thanks to me! I'm always talkin' bout Hondo's to people...I'm sure SOMEONE is bound to join up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 i really don't think we need loads of new members. i like the fact we're a small quirky forum, that you find by accident. also the fact that we're small adds to the family feel, i've visited other forum's that had thousands of members and they're just too impersonal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 true, but most of the big-ass forums are built around a theme, be it something like, say, automobiles or a given celebrity. for a forum about nothing and no one in particluar, were an alright size, with a decent handful of regulars and a lotta people strolling back in if even just to check things out. We can always use new folks around, but barring an international incident on 2T or someone's part, i dont think were in any great danger of being overrun, though the spammers sure did try earlier this year.
