hmmm, i don't know 'bout getting more members here, but i think i have an idear how to keep the ones who venture here for the first time, and keep'm hooked and returning.

when someone who be new finally posts a response, or starts their own thread, the heavy hitters (you know who you are, mateys, YARRRR!) on the sight ought to give them a thoughtful response.

i don't think anything is engaging, or compelling, as the honest exchange of ideas and a meaningful dialogue.

i know this probably isn't a realistic response to this thread, and it won't result in a sudden avalanche of peoples jumpin' onboard, but it will gain ye loyal folks, one person at a time.

anyways, thems me thoughts.

Re: Getting more members here...what you can do.
The threads are too long. Makes it cumbersome to get up to speed if you're in late.
Also, there are some aggressive people here. I came in a while ago and left for that reason.

If you go to your User CP (control panel) to options then you can change the number of posts you see per page. The default is set to 10, but you can change it to 40. It makes a big difference in how long the thread seems.

Re: Getting more members here...what you can do.
If this forum changed name from uspoliticsonline.com to just uspolitics.com (think the name is available) it might get more attention?

The word online is completely unnecessary, since people know they are fucking online when they search, and its like totally 90s...

That's a good idea, but it looks like uspolitics.com is already taken.
