Hi Dennis,

At this rate, it could take forever to get to 300-400 volunteers. Right now, it looks like the inexperienced non-profile volunteers are going to outnumber the experienced members, if more experienced members don't start volunteering for this.

I think the sooner the inactive members are put into sleep-mode, the better for everyone. That should be the priority so then more upgrades & use of paid services could go into high gear sooner. Then paid messages will be going to people who actually log in and read them.

As I see it, the inexperienced non-profile volunteers are just anticipating having a group of 100 sudden new friends. Are they aware that they are not supposed to spam all those new friends and they should be able to answer questions about how to use the services here?

Hi Dennis,

I wonder if you'd get more volunteers from the active members if you put a link at the POTW election, for the 100 Friends thread. There are already a lot of links in the ballot area but maybe highlight it or something.

I'm glad you stated that the most active volunteers will be at the top of the 100 Friends volunteers list, because in the thread for 100 Friends, I noticed lots of people I didn't recognize, and clicked on them and many of them don't have their profiles filled in, don't have active forums, and only made 1 post...the one at the 100 Friends thread, even though lots of them have been members for over a year. Some of those volunteers need advice immediately, I don't know if they are in the position to give advice to new people yet. I'm in the process of inviting them to my friendship list today.

Hi Pat

I sent you a message filling you in about the 100 Friends.
Take a look if it's for you or not.
The new members will have a chance to accept the 100 friends or pass.
If you volunteer you'll be added to the list.
You could end up with 1000"s of new friends everyday new people join adlandpro.
Make sure it's what you want the most active in adlandpro are the ones that will be at the top of the list.

Hi Kathleen

My Answer may be way outside the box but here it goes.

Jim would have to add the link in the POTW Forum.
The most active will be the first to be the first 100 on the list when it gets to 300 or 400 Volunteers we'll still pick the most active.This was all in the plan from the beginning.
Bogdan wants activity in the adlandpro community this is a way to deliver it.This will keep new members active with 100 new friends to hang out with and this will keep the long time members active to stay on the Volunteer list.I think the long time members need to be rewarded for there faithfulness to the adlandpro community in a way it is a reward to have a huge list of friends and also help the new members settle in and keep them active.

We can opt out of the list at any time that is also an option.
Down the Road we can add another feature and place inactive members in a sleep mode.
With an automatic weekly wake up email sent out by adlandpro
There are things in the works that will help us all and benefit the whole adlandpro community.
A good way to check activity is who"s Voting in the POTW forum and posting that voted.

Thank you all for supporting these features this community will begin to out advertise out socialize out do other communities that have been biting little by little at us for year.
Together with members owner and staff with new modernized features working as a team we can be unstoppable.
In these few weeks the difference in the adlandpro community has been amazing.More activity and signups the change is great and will get great to extreme..
The thing is we have to spread the word all over the internet once it hits the search engines first pages the Dam will burst the a wave of new signups to the adlandpro community thus more friends.As a 100 friend volunteer you could gain 1000"s of new friends on your friend list very fast.So are you Ready????
