Just an observation: I've seen a couple of new topics that are bordering on spam i.e. short posts, linked articles, irrelevant threads, etc. Please note that slapping in links from other sites (like digg, for example) and heading it up with a 2-line blurb does not constitute a valid post for the post-a-thon. While we want to encourage board activity we also don't want to flood it with useless threads.

Please bear this is mind when posting in future smile.gif

Another question... isn't 5 small posts made by 5 new members better than 1 long original thread made by 1 long-term member? As much as I'd like to win this competition I think we should look at ways of promoting or should I say, re-promoting this site rather than building idle banter.

The aim is to promote the site, but that doesn't mean we want spam topics all over the place. Posting a link to another article or a one- or two-liner post with little or no effort by the poster WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD THE POST-A-THON. I'm getting quite tired seeing threads thrown together in a lame attempt to make a few bucks. If you post something, have an OPINION about it at least, or start a discussion about the topic, rather than just copy/pasting a link you found on another site or got in an e-mail.

Otherwise, there's some great new content and some good discussions going on. Those who are posting quality stuff: keep it up biggrin.gif

I think the next post-a-thon we have should be 'Who starts the most interesting/active discussion.' We could narrow it down to a few topics at the end and then vote on it as a poll or something. I reckon that could work better, as currently the competition favours those who are online more rather than those who spend time creating quality topics: ultimately this leads to useless spam.

LOL, the peer pressure has gotten to me too, so I'll give it a shot.

Most of you will know that my loyalty is usually split (between work, blogging, and my social life), so I'm not much competition, but what the heck?

Count me in! mf_popcorn1.gif
