 Hello! 
#636001 - 08/31/12 11:54 AM (12 years, 3 months ago) |

I would really love to revive this site.
If any of you have any friends who are interested in cannabis,
maybe you can talk with them and have them sign up.
I want to see a lively party-type atmosphere around here.
I know we all have our share of weed-related stories we can share.
What better place to be when you get stoned than here?
Talk to other stoner friends. Share your feelings. Make new friends.
If we get to 100 active online users by the end of September,
I will personally drink and entire bottle of champagne in celebration.
Of course, I will have ripped a couple of loads before. 
So what do you say people? Can we do this? Can we bring more life here?
I know you have it in you. Prove it to me. Let's make this happen!

Well look at the Whos-Online listing.
You'll notice a lot more anonymous guests over registered users.
I'd like to come up with some kind of plan to get the visiting guests to register.

I was thinking something along the lines of:
If you register and post 100+ quality-content posts,
you'll get a free month's supporter upgrade.
If you register and post 1000+ quality-content posts,
you get 3 months of supporter and a chance to enter the Ban Lottery.
If you win the Lottery, you get a free Growery t-shirt.
(We'll have to design and make the shirts.)
Suggestions ?

Well I dont know, maybe, I mean its an awesome contest in my opinion, if we get it back, it can only help. Just look at these contest posts, they are the most viewed in the marijuana picture threads, people want to see la crème de la crème of the weed pictures, a good place for that is certainly a contest no?
Also it would push people in the ass to make them post more weed pictures, these threads sure are dead lately, I mean lots of people post their cannabis plants, but not so many post their buds, I try to do it when I get my hands on a beautiful batch...

Dude what we need is quality threads. Subjects of interest and worth discussion. We've been lacking that for over a year now. I've been looking into T-shirts and think that's be cool.

Wowitch and highasfuck were OK guys, SB is right tho they brought color to the forum. Which at times made for decent discussion.
Usg is a good cat to have around when it comes to discussions about glass. He knows a thing or two in that department.

Lols = quality to a lot of us, no matter if considered high or low humor.
I love intellectual discussions, and I know many others do too, so we should try to incorporate marijuana or drug related content into well thought out topics where finding "truth" isn't the point. Also, who is the sites competition, except for the shroomery? How are the other marijuana forums able to pull and keep members compared to ours, and what's their angle? I have no idea, because I don't frequent any other drug related sites unless looking for answers through google. Do we have a gimmick that sets us apart?
These are questions I don't normally think about since I don't moderate any web forum, but you guys probably have already pondered.

Koopa the first thing that comes to mind about what other sites do is advertising.
In mags, on seed bank sites, and on the web.
I have yet seen much advertising on our behave anywhere, other than our stickers of course. But that isn't doing as well as I would have liked.

ah ya i forgot about usg and haf. haf fuck was banned for being underage though and usg just kinda left but sticks his head in every now and then. wowitch and doitagain were the only ones perma'd.
quality posts really depends on who you are asking. did they share endless amounts of knowledge and strike intellectual conversations? nope. but they did contribute to the posting and this place moved a lot faster when they were here.
thats really neither here nor there though. i think the stickers idea was a good one, but it should have been funded by the growery itself and sent out to people to stick around their town like at coffee shops and trendy spots or whatever. not put on the door of their room or whatever cuz it looks cool. the stickers are only going to work if they are placed in good places that has a lot of public view. i said id take a trip to atlanta one day and spread them around local venues, little 5, in front of head shops, etc - but i'm not going to pay for them just out of principles sake. i live 40 minutes out so i'd have to spend the gas (to and from @ 4$ a gallon) to get there as well as at least 2-3 hours in atlanta. and as much as i hope this site catches fire and blows up im not going to spend not only my time but my money as well on something that the growery as a website clearly doesn't think is very important either or they would have taken it upon themselves to do it.
as far as contests and shit, i mean thats cool and all but thats only going to make people stay if they are already here. not bring them in. to bring people in you are going to need exposure. stickers were a great idea, if they are implemented correctly. T shirts would work but i know at least personally im not gonna wear a growery t shirt, im often times not in an environment where that is kosher.
what are the chances that some of our sponsors would put a little growery banner on their website similar to what we do for them? that would really help increase exposure but im not sure how probable it is.
those are just a few ideas off the top of my head, to increase site traffic and get this place booming you have to increase exposure. not things that that go on in the site. just my

I'm talking outside of the Dome, of course.
Adding to discussions about weed debates, which glass models are better, etc.
And it never hurts to add to the JB thread.

This. Yes, placing them in public view to be seen by potential new members is of key importance.

Look at Who's Online: 39 users (5 members and 34 guests)
I want to make those 34 guests into members.
Since they can view this site to some extent, why not find a way to get them registered?
The t-shirts could be worn at informal parties, to get other weed enthusiasts interested in our site, and spark their interest in the possibility of winning one themselves.

Even if the site had paid for them, they would have charged for them. They have a store for the shroomery and charge for merchandise. They also would not give you nearly as good a price as what I'm offering. So whatever principal you think you're acting out of, I find it a bit misguided.
I'm not sitting around making money on this. I put took straight out of my pocket to make theses stickers, and it's not cheap, and so did kapt kid and Stone for the prize money. Any and all profit is going towards paying to ship them and to make more stickers in the future, which when I sell out of these will be a different design.
I just carry 10-15 on me at most times, and put them up in different areas while I'm already out and about. I don't make any special trips just to put out stickers.
But to each their own I guess.
@Stone Oh yeah, Jew It Again. Now I remember that guy. Definitely got some lulz outta him.

I don't think you were trying to make money off of this, thats not what i was insinuating. My point is simply that if the growery as a website wants more exposure then they need to implement some sort system or program where they take the brunt of the burden involved. i realized that you did this on your own without the growerys involvement or anything and i think thats awesome. my point is that im not going to come out of pocket and more importantly time promoting a website when from what i can see they aren't doing the same itself.
i feel this was something the growery should have taken upon themselves to finance if they wanted exposure. if someone wants a sticker to put on a folder or their room or something or whatever sure, i think they should pay for it. but if the growery wants exposure then i think they should at least foot the bill.

I will do my part, I got probably 40 more stickers that I am going to start putting up tomorrow. I meant to do it last week but got a little busy towards the end of the week. I will get a bunch posted up tomorrow between classes, I have almost 2 hours between classes, so I will go from corner to corner of campus and throw about half of them up on our public bulletin's. I am sure it will bring us some foot traffic, dont know how many will end up being active posters but will definitely get them here
Crazy to think we are coming up on the 5th birthday of this place

I don't know about that man. I think it's all about content. We need to beef up our main site with more TEK's/tutorials, product/equipment reviews, strain reviews, etc. That will then hit the search engines and voila, free targeted advertising. Forget magazines, we want people who want to learn... and you get those people by obtaining high search rankings for key search terms. Members with a thirst for knowledge, will often end up contributing lots of knowledge, but only if they feel like this is a knowledge based community. Right now, we're lackin' the content, plain and simple.
On that note, I'm going to make an effort to rig up some promotional activity here in the coming weeks. If I slack, someone slap me around a bit...  
Ps. Unstickin' this thread, 'cause a discussion topic with no replies in a month has no business bein' stickied
