Hi POTW Team,
I think having forum-owners agree to promote the election every week in our forums would be a great idea, in exchange for a list of Forum Sponsors every week, or a link to the list on the ballot, if it's lots of forums.
Also suggesting to everyone who's here consistently to link to each week's election in their signature file is a great idea,
And to share each week's election to Twitter & Facebook & Google Plus. If dozens of people agree just to do that, it will bring in more traffic.
I'm still concerned at the lack of people here in this forum, it's the same few people making all the Feedback comments and making nominations. Where are the 50 to 60 voters and their opinions? Approximately half the voters make comments during the election, sometimes nearly two-thirds, but we're not seeing them visit here to give Feedback.
I'm also not seeing many public forum promotions of the election or many links to the election in signature files.
The majority of voters are not participating in making nominations, many don't have active forums themselves...if all voters who make comments at the election would start/reactivate their forums, that would be a lot more eligible people.
Voting is up, but community-wide participation that leads to nominations has not gone up much.
Lots of people who had branded themselves a long time ago have lapsed into branding-failure and let their forums lapse and stopped visiting other forums, and some don't make comments when voting or help promote the election. |
