New Forum Rules

[Shaun]

All of you probably received this email, but just incase, I am posting it here:

Hello everybody!

Fanhost has become very slow in the last few months. As in there aren't a lot of members that post. Me and Open32 have been thinking how to get Fanhost a bit more active again and we have come up with the following new rules.

1. Minimal amount of new posts per forum per month - From now on each forum will need to have at least 50 new posts per month in order to stay on Fanhost. The posts can't be from the same person, and it can't be spam.

2. More moderators - Right now not all forums have moderators. We would like to change that. So in the coming time Open32 and I will make people moderators who deserve it, and we'll remove moderators who are absent. Now, don't ask to become a moderator. Just show us you deserve to be a moderator by being active in the forum you want to moderate.

3. New forums - We would also like to add new forums. So keep requesting new forums in the appropriate threads and we will pick two new forums each month (it depends on the number of requests). They will first go into the trial category and if we feel that they are active enough, we will move them into the regular categories.

I bolded rule #1 because it applys to us pretty severely. Our post count has dropped significantly in the last year or so. So we may need to come up with some new threads to help keep us alive.
· New games
· Continue Picture threads
· Or we could even discuss some of her recent projects :P

Admittedly, I am not the most active member around these parts. I am unfortunately very busy most of my days. But I will try to get in here more and start new threads more often.

We love Lacey, and we don't want to lose her thread! SO SAY WE ALL!

yeah it makes it hard when lacey really doesn't have anything going at the moment. she has a few projects but it's not enough to keep this thread going. there's really not that much news on them. plus she rarely goes out and hardly gets pics of herself taken or even put out, which will make it even tougher.

[Shaun]

Yeah it will. We need those fresh new people to come in who ask a lot questions and start a lot of threads lol

[wannabe]

What, we all don't live and breathe this one site out of the millions out there?

[alittlebitter]

It would be a shame if we lost this forum. I don't really know of any others.

[wannabe]

I don't think there are any others, but if I'm wrong, please correct me.

[MSFixR]

Well, get busy and start posting.

Where is the Lacey pic of the day? That's 30 posts plus someone saying "Oh what a great pic, TY." - another 30 posts. Bingo Lacey is saved!

[wannabe]

I'm doing the best I can, but no one wants to comment on the things I post, and they made it clear that one guy posting 50 times wasn't going to cut it. (That killed my "I love you" 50 times thread idea. :D )

I mean, geez, people! I give you all kinds of things to talk about, all kinds of ways to make fun of me or yourselves, and you just sit there! What if I was actually Lacey? Okay, that's plainly ridiculous, but what if I wound up being Lacey's boyfriend, and she asked me for my take on her online fan community? "Sorry, Lacey, everyone who claims to like you doesn't bother to post enough to keep your forum alive."

No wonder she doesn't have her own website. There's like 5 people that would visit it regularly and read her blog and critique her pictures (the ones she shoots as a hobby) for her so she can become a talented and famous photographer if she wants to.

If all the people who registered here for her posted JUST ONCE A MONTH, that would be enough. But no, me and 4 other guys have to post 10 times a month, and I won't be able to do that when I get back on the road. Unless you're all interested in the life of a truck driver. BJ and the Bear it's not.

haha well admittadely I am very lazy.. I try to post everyday, but a lot of days (especially on the weekends) I forget to even log into the website... Plus other days I am too busy. Even right now I'm at work posting. But it's a slow day at work ;)
