Activity Checks - How They Are Run - DISCUSSION

[>>Sway<<]

So, I think that by allowing the Activity Check to go on ALL month long we're allowing members to be inactive for longer periods of time. How would everyone feel about allowing the Activity Check to start at a random time during the month and last only one week?

I am on another forum that does this and I think its brilliant. In a way, it forces members to log on at least often enough to check for an Activity Check and at least once a week.

What do y'all think?

Also, on a side note, do you think that by collapsing categories that its making it less likely for members to post because they can't see the icons saying there's a new post? I know there are several members who log on each day that have places to post, but just don't. Comment below!

I think making the Activity Checks more randomized and for a limited period of time is a brilliant idea. That way people log on more and monitor the site -- which could in turn lead to more activity.

In regard to the categories, if the members aren't bright enough to click a picture then they should not even be on the damn internet. Just my thoughts on that.

Also any members who didn't respond to the Activity Check would be deleted. If they wanted to re-sign-up they could.

That's how they have it set up at Origin (Another site I've been trying to get into since Aelyn's been slow). They also list what members have posted in the first post, put the date the activity check expires and delete members who aren't "Safe".

i like the idea myself

I like the idea too. (: I think then that people would be more observant and willing to get on to see if there's an Activity Check and maybe they would get hooked again on the posting. Plus, it will give us staff a heads-up on who really is dedicated to the site, although that's already pretty obvious. :P

Fine by me.

Also can I apologize for my absence some more .___o I have been so busy I haven't been on the internet much at all lately. I haven't even been talking to my COUSINS on msn lately which is really... unusual. I just sort of need this break from the internet.

I swear I'll pick up activity ><;;; Probably at the end of this month.
