Forum Competitions - increasing forum membership

QUOTE
Competitions can often be used to extremely good effect. Generating a feeling of added community atmosphere throughout, how so you ask, well by having a systematic and regular competition ensures that member participation will gradually but surely increase in a bid to win one of your prizes. Logic will of course prevail that the greater the prize you are giving away then the greater the interest, participation and registration rates.

i used the post in desperation to attempt to resolve my trap17 hosting problem , where i could only access my webpage and cpanel very intermittantly. the problem seemed to be an error on the trap17 server when it originally created my account.

i was dealing with buffalohelp on this issue , who was unable to resolve the problem as he did not have server access , only opaque has that.
he suggested completely deleting my account , hence losing all my credits and he would then gift credits back to me to enable me to recreate my account.
i did this , but unfortunately buffalohelp was then unable to gift the credits due to the way the gifting software worked.

he suggested that i get posting again to get my credits back up again.
i looked at all the recent new posts and didnt think that there was much there for me to be able to constructively post on , i probably could have waffled ... but what is the point in that.

so at then i asked my lad if he had anything that he had written that i could post as a new topic to assist me in earning credits.
i did not realise that i should have said if they had been posted elsewhere when i created the topic.

i apologise for my error , but in my defence it was done in desperation to try and sort out my faulty hosting account.

my account is now working perfectly and i am really grateful to buffalohelp for all his time and trouble that he went to in resolving my problem.

well i was going to say something even though it has been edited, but I will anyways.


they sound like good ideas but not to many people use due to the fact that it doesn't do anything for the members of the forum.

  3. Problem With The Trap17 Forum
    Inconsistent links and problems with "Latest Activity" (4)
    Hi, I have noticed a bit of a problem with the forums here on Trap17. I don't know if this is a
    problem with the Trap17 implementation, or with Invision Power Board in general, or with a mod that
    is running on the forums here, and I'm sure that someone smarter than me can isolate the source
    of the problem. What I have noticed firstly is that the link that is generated in the top right
    corner of a post within a thread, the link to that particular post (I'll call that the linkback
    link), sometimes links to the post itself, but often just links to the thread. T....

  8. Why Do Hosted Members Need Posts Aproved In The Internet Forum?
    This is deeply annoying. (4)
    Ive posted a few topics in the internet forum now, and its really annoying that hosted members (any
    member in general but i understand about spam protection) need to have their topics approved. Now i
    understand that to protect from spam and what not some posts need reviewing but at the end of the
    day, being a hosted member means two things: One is that im probably going to be an active and good
    member of the forums and not spam anyway and Two: that if i do spam you can just take my hosting
    credits/hosting away. So why do i need to wait for approval? the mods do a grea....

    for games. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> My
    suggestion was, to add a "Fun & Off-Topic" forum, for forum games like, "Promote the user above
    you", or "Ban the user above you" or something of the sort. Why did I come up with this idea?: Well,
    this would give our fellow members the chance to post in the forums alot more. I....

    One of the many joys of married life is being able to cooperate and share responsibilities. I

    the money that I make at work to ensure that we continue to thrive. Where my wife's own income
    wouldn't support our family financially, I can assist with my income. If I were responsible for

    do in order to keep the cash flowing in to our household. It is a mutually benefic....

  13. Art

    OK I know this is a graphics forum but I've browsed through most of it and don't come across
    anything specific to art like drawing and painting in general. I'm not including making sigs or
    banners because I don't consider them the only form of art or design. Thats just one area and I
    believe we need a place where people who do other forms of art can congregate. There are other
    communities like deviant art but most of us starting out get kind of intimidated and feel so small

    With Flash Player 9 on practically every PC, a lot of web developers are moving to Abobe Flex, Flash
    and Actionscript as a development platform. I've seen a few posts related to the platform and I
    feel that a dedicated forum is more than warranted. Flash discussions could fall under web design
    as a sub-forum, while actionscript could fall under Programming Languages. There is also MXML to
    consider. It's Adobe's custom mark-up language for flash components. But these are just
    suggestions. Hopefully forum admins will look further into this issue and find it vi....

    A skin I partially made, I show you how to put on your forum. (1)

    users, so that they may too, have a nice forum skin! First of all, when installing a new skin on
    your board, no upload or download is needed. You will most definately have to replace your old forum

    Many people use it for chinese forum. It is freeware but of course you can apply for business
    version. Since it is free of charge, peolpe can improve it togeter. I think Discuz is more powerful
    than phpBB and Invision Power Board. Because it have many functions such as ,Devil system, pet

    in one day by the same person around the same time. I'm asking for the removal or change of the
