cheers! Yep, we definately seem to be growing. Still too many viewers and not enough posters though

Its nice to have some US posters on board to give a different perspective, be great to have a few more internationals.

I have been helping have a link to the forum in other forum sigs Thought any help is help Is there anyway you can offer an incentive to sign up?

List some benifits like

Links to your site
Inclusion in our Business Directory
Potential to reach 1000 of new clients

You get the point

Thanks,

Much appreciated kind sir, for that I'll get Clive to make you a coffee if your passing

I think the sign up growth is going ok, its always a fine line between content and users, so I'm more interested in getting new users to take an active part rather than encouraging a bucket load of sign ups.

Incentive wise, we have no plans to charge for membership like other forums, and also want to keep the adverts down. Directory wise, we've always offered free listings, so maybe I could make that clearer.

We are starting to build a healthy community, and with the likes of yourself on board, hopefully it will continue to grow. I want to try and steer clear of other forums mishaps, mainly 10 post spammers to get a link, and keep it a spam free zone.

Early days, but all input very much appreciated

It's growing well I have already posted a link on various forums and on my Blog, Its about getting the name known.

Sign on as many social sites as you can it will really help the amount of people passing.

On the sign up page put a clean link to the my local service sign up page!

Thanks,

Exciting times Steve me old buddy!

Its that other thing I really want in the bank now! Card to Find will be a nice little earner, already ticking along!

Great stuff

We've noticed a rise in online spending ourselves, so it looks like consumer confidence is definately returning after a bleak 18 months.
