Hey all,
I’ve been thinking about ways to boost up the community feeling on the site more. One thing I’ve noticed is that while we may have some 70-100 people a day actually login each day, we’re often only every 3-7 online at a time.
What are your thoughts on a “Gathering time”? I am planning on putting out a newsletter (to kickoff a new Photo Competition, and highlight some recent new articles on the site), and was thinking of including a highlight for that.
The idea being that we would identify some 3-hour period or so and I would send out the communication (and maybe other ways on the site to remind people) to encourage people to join and “hang out”. We could have a running thread for some general chat, etc…
What do you all think? I was figuring the actual day/time would be near the end of the month, and follow a second newsletter email (where I would also be announcing Photo Comp winners).
Ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?
