Attention fellow users of the iPhone Blog Forums:
We need to step it up a bit around here. The iPhone Blog really is a great site for iPhone news, and I want to see them stick around. The crew is very quick to consolidate the important information and bring the stories to us, and they do it with a nice sense of humor too. I have no doubt they will continue to see decent traffic and get good exposure as a blog-reporting site, but this forum needs help!
It is rough when you log in at night and see that only one topic has had activity in the 8 hours since the last time you stopped by, and that activity consists of TWO posts!!
Granted, we can't "live" in the forum, but we could definitely spice it up. This could really be a great community for iPhone fans if we help to make it one. Most people that visit this forum probably think it is dead ?well, it kind of is? and only we can change that. The more active the forum is, the more likely it will be to attract new users. As the new users compound on one another, it will start to gain the needed momentum to help make this a "go-to" iPhone forum.
If not just to help them, think about it selfishly. More users and traffic generates more coin for those that run the site. More coin helps them run the site better, and keeps them motivated to continue with their on-point blogging. More coin and more traffic could also mean more contests! Eh.. Eh.. Nudge.. Nudge... More chances to WIN stuff!
Ok... that last paragraph was me speaking out of my @$$ on something I have no place to speak on, but it could be true!
Anyway, let's make this forum POP people! I don't want to have to call Jobsie over to throw one of his tantrums now...
