Just trying to ensure that Ausbb - Australian bodybuilding is around for years to come..
I think we have to ask ourselves"What can I do to make the Ausbb better? More appealing to the newer members... How can I improve the site in order to make the guests want to join this site.
The only way to keep any site alive is to have atleast some activity. There are alot of other place on this forum where you can post without fear.
One other thing that I have noticed as far as boards that come and go is newer members joining. This somewhat goes hand in hand with the above.
If people ask questions and no one offers any help.. then they will move on. We have to grow or we will die. If you like AUSBB as much as I do, we need to remain active so it doesn't fall by the way side like so many other forums. Its a hard time for forums period, many are biting the dust due to so many people now using social media such as Facebook and Twitter instead of forums
Even a friendly welcome to the new member's intro thread is a great start. Remember when we were all noobs and first made our posts.. How good it felt when people welcomed you.. Made us feel like "this is the place for me"
Comment on a thread...
Invite some friends over..
Create a thread, we don't bite..
Add an article that you read and thought others might find interesting
These are just a few things off the top of my head..
How many times have we asked ourselves
"What ever happened to This or that forum? I always liked that board"
It takes the help from all members to make a board/community worthwhile.
Lets not let it get to the point where we are asking the question "Whatever happened to Ausbb?"
