The big 300

[Dos_Box]

We have almost hit 300 users. Not bad for a forum dedicated to educatuional techies, in fact, the only forum for educational techies. Nice, I wonder if we'll get there today?

We had 2 new members today by 8.23! - Boy do we start early! Of course we aren't professional and we sit in our offices doing nothing (bar surfing the net) all day.

[Dos_Box]

I think making ourselves heard on the TES site has worked

[E1uSiV3]

how many are 0 posters tho (not trying to dampen the parade but i like to point these things out), need to get them posting

[Dos_Box]

Wee seem to have some bots or other people playing silly buggers joining at the moment.

I am sure a few teachers have snuck in though ...

 

Not that I mind. Not all of them are like Bisley98 ... in fact a good number are wasted being teachers when they deserver to techies ...

I've just had a dodgy PM abusing our site. If anybody else expeniences problems please PM me or another admin (Dos_Box, russdev, Geoff) so that we can suspend the user until they are fully investigated

[Dos_Box]

More info please Ric. From who and what was the content?

[russdev]

it might be an idea to get all those 0 posters on to send one time email

 

Hi thank you for joning edugeek this is one time email to let you know of some developments on site we loved to see you on site sort of thing

And how about a possible monthly reminder that they are subscribed.

Wasn't Bisley was it!

 

I had wondered if teachers should be told about edugeek!!

[StewartKnight]

I've had one from someone called 'Chick' asking if I want to chat....anyone else had that?

 

Now, if we have over 300 members, and everyone sponsored my charity trek £10... think of the lives edugeek could save.. all of them potential ICT technicians!!!!

[E1uSiV3]

I had same thing StewartKnight, tis a bot grrr :|

[Ric_]

@E1uSiV3: Is no longer a bot

[alexknight]

I don't think you can force people to post, as some people are happy just to read posts and gain knowledge from there. However a monthly e-mail reminder say, would be a good idea and the e-mail could have some content that encourages posting.

 

This would give us a reminder and let us know that anyone can post.

 

As to nusiance messages. You will always get this and it is best ignored. The only reason someone posts nusiance messages is to get atention. Take the attention away and they also go away.

[russdev]

yer wasnt trying to say force them but the may be people who have subcribed and forgot about the site.

 

We thought it was a bot by way her profile was filled out told dos_box other day and decided to keep an eye on it

Well I have not posted for a while but it nice to see ppl enjoying the website I am loving it for the resources and with the conference comming up aswell bonus

 

It is just a shame that there are some sad ppl out there try to destroy it

how many are 0 posters tho (not trying to dampen the parade but i like to point these things out), need to get them posting

..and there are some of us who feel we are don't know enough to be able to contribute to the general flow of things but who have small areas of knowledge/insight where they can add something to the discussion.

I'll be honest here and say that as I scan some of the posts I'm left scratching my head as to what you're on about, but that's good because it gives a lot of us something to aim for, and leads to researching the subject -

Wife to me on a Saturday evening, "are you working?"

"no, it's research"

"so it's work then?"

You can't get much past them.

 

here's to the next 300,
