TV ClubHouse: Archive: Lets drag the new TVCH BB fan's here.....: Archive through September 07, 2002

:)


Ok come on lets think of some ways - ideas and so on (without being to irritating or pushy) to get the BB'ers to this area this week - I'm a year round TVCH'er and would love there to be more of us over here enjoying this area when BB is over you know?

Lets think of some ideas - on how to get them to 'find' this area and get a bit hooked...?

First off a few could have a link in their signature.. (maybe someone could say change the link in their signature to some interesting thread here each day .. that sounds like something Bob might do hehe)

Maybe we could occasionally refer or mention a thread here in passing during our convo's there (not disingeniously...but if it might relate you know?)

Um any other ideas...?

I just would love to have a few dozen more peeps here - now that they moved the game threads (and I think moving them was a good idea) this area is even slower this time of year...so it's hard to 'attract' the new BB fans here... through attrition it's a good idea to at least have a few new peeps here of course...but also the more the merrier.

So any other ideas on how to really let some of them know how fun this area can be?

:)

How about a scavenger hunt of the site or a trivia game of some sort? They have to search the site topics to find answers. (I think we did something similar a long time ago)

This will get them familiar with the site navigation and make it fun.

That sounds like a great idea Twiggyish! :) I know it took me foooreeeeevvvverrrr to find this part of the site. And it was only because I was tired of the BB threads so I just started clicking...LOL (But I'm still a newbie on this side of the board, what do I know?) :)

Twiggy that's awesome idea!!!!! Got time to organize it or should we find someone who does??

We can contribute ideas for it but we need a core organizer type person!!

Awesome idea! :)

--- (add to my post)

We need someone OI is usually good at this sorta thing if you don't have time - who can 'put together and impliment' our ideas but hey we can ALL think of

like the things to have to hunt for......and stuff - I'm so for this idea I'll put some serious time into finding things to hunt for and suggestions on how to implment it...just can't commit to 'putting it together' :)

Twig? OI? anyone?

I know this idea will work!!! :)

I'm one of those ones who've been on the boards for BB and then disappeared. Until this year. I just realized that I could get spoilers for The Mole here, as well as chat with others. And so I'll definitely be a sticker arounder this time. (Which could be good or bad; you choose! <grin>)

Also, I'd bet that a lot of the BB fans are Survivor fans, too. So if they realize that there's more to this board than just BB, that might help...?

A scavenger hunt might be fun! Could be a pain to get started, but once you've got the items defined, how fun to participate. I'd even help to "implement" it (Whit, those quotes are for you! <BIG grin>).

Costa I know I know.. when I was in college I scored 500 outta 500 (or 300 outta 300) or better on every writing assignment I had. Here online - I um.. lol.. started out INTENTIONALLY typing a special style years ago and now that style is just ME - I do not ever correct my typing errors and I certainly don't worry about grammar, I type exactly as I think something unless on a very rare occasion I really want to be taken seriously.

:)

I posted once on a board of intellectuals and it was so funny how much they hated me at first because of my ...'s (oh ya and my .aol.com) in the end...well... they all started using my ...'s in their own way LOL.

back to to the topic:

I so love this idea lets start brainstorming (you know I once brainstormed on brainstorming and wrote a how-to-guide for it..ya I'm a nut so????)

So lets start brainstorming...

they are BB fans... what do they have in common..

what sorta things might they enjoy hunting for over here...

how can we tie it in to BB (we gotta think of a way to do that because if we don't the mods might not let us keep it active in the BB area hehe... I know we can twist that though - when it comes to twisting things I can make Roddy look like an amature)

Ok and next - should their be rules? a prize of some sort (I'm only interested in getting them and their ideas and opinons and such over here... ) but they might like some sort of prize?

If so what could we offer - obviously not something of monetary value.. but some sort prize or do you think just being the winner would be enough. LOL

I just love the idea of getting them here via this idea but THEY might enjoy having a 'winner' lol.

Next - who's good at making Charts? I know Ryn is but he's gonna be tied up till BB is over I am sure - anyone else here know how to make the charts Ryn makes? (like who did the chart for Mole guess - could they do that for this or show the one who wants to take this project on how to?)

Next - what should they be looking for... I think it should be something you couldn't just type a search in new messages for ... I mean heck the object would be to get them here right but still - if *I* were to play I'd want it to be a bit challenging myself... ya know what I mean?

Sooooooooooooooooooo.....

Oh I have one idea - "what was X's response to: "

In other words - a few times they could be trying to find out what say... OI's response was to some funny comment by Twig ... you know what I mean? That's not something you could find in a quick search.

Twig I so love this idea - )

You've already got one fan from the BB board over here! cooldancer

I'd say what worked for me is that it was suggested on the BB board maybe once or twice that I might enjoy other areas, but I wasn't pressured at all. It took me a couple of days to think about it before I started exploring the boards.

I think it also might have helped the the Roddy wars were raging on the BB board at the time, and while I very much enjoy vigorous debate, I very much dislike when personal bashing and defensiveness get into it. That obscures the issues being discussed. Plus, I dislike the lack of respect for opposing opinions. JMHO.

Anyway, I didn't mean to get into all that. I was just giving my ideas on what worked to get me over here.

I'll be glad to help with it, too.
Maybe we can brainstorm something fun.

On the writing style, yup, I do the same thing. Whit..LOL

Whit4You, I saw your link and I couldn't resist clicking on it so here I am. I have been to other areas of the board outside of BB, but I do confess that sometimes it's all too easy to forget that they exist. This is a great idea!

What we need is a message board or a place to post questions, (For those who want to help with this) privately, until we're ready to use them on the board.
We can figure out whether we post all the questions at one time, or one at a time?
I can setup one outside the Bomis site, just for the planning of the game. Then when we are ready, bring the questions here.
All that fun stuff..LOL

Ok, Whit, you managed to pull me over too! I'm mostly a Big Brother fan, don't like survivor or the Mole, but one suggestion that WOULD guarantee my return on a daily basis is a Bunny Tales summary of anything. That girl is HILARIOUS! She's actually the reason I've been here for these past few years.

I have met some GREAT people here, and would love to stay involved, so any ideas/activities would be welcomed.

Sounds great to me Twiggyish about the separate forum until things get set up. I'd be willing to help if I could. I personally follow mostly BB and Survivor. Let me know.

Twig I'll take that as a you are willing to be 'in charge of this" great :) I and hopefully others will help you think of a plan - ideas for what they will be hunting for - ways to publicize it .. possible awards or at least how to pick winners and such...

need someone to help with a chart (like the Mole thingy?)

I didn't know this place was here. I just discovered the BB discussion area a few days ago. I started reading the live feeds just a few weeks ago. The people who do those are incredible. I thank them every time I see the show and "know" what really went on.

Is this a place to just discuss any old thing? Can I ask questions about how this place works? Like, how do people get those cute little faces, some that move, into their posts? Is there a place on this site for Survivor? Amazing race?

Xcentric there's a handy thread called um uh...

The spam room I think lol... that's the link anyhow - that'll give you some inside info on how to make the cute little clip arts (I think?)

Uhoh

<comes into this strange room kicking and screaming>

look at all the trouble one can get into just clicking a link!

(whit's idea was waaay more expedient than a treasure hunt - i'd not've played - took hijacking me via a link!)
