Subtletanks91 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 So, for the event when we hit 200 member on ss I would like to use this thread for a raok. It could include food. Plants. Equipment. Anything I have on hand that I can make a package from. So please everyone get more people to join, let's get this raok going!!!!We could also do a joint raok where I will have one package and pick one member someone else does someone else and so forth, I would like to get two more people involved in this joint raok.

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'll contribute something. Don't know what yet, but I'm in. If everyone joined it would be one big swap. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Haha that's true Bryce. But I'm glad you will contribute I was hoping you would. This will be a faily big package from me. But I thinks it's only right to do something like this, less than two months ago we only had about 120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc4PC2 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 There has got to be a way to reach out and get more members joining. What if you were to put a huge giveaway on the home page and give it to the new people that signup? A drawing or something. Entice them to join and post at least twice, and by doing so they get into the huge giveaway. So the new members are the ones that win the giveaway, and the senior members can donate to make the giveaway something really good. I would help and donate some stuff to it. Just a thought. countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pika Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Isn't that kinda what this RAOK is? We'll have to get it rolling with people signing up so it actually happens, but I think it's also ok for more experienced members to not-sign-up for it so the chances of newbies winning is higher. Or, better yet, they could do a more-than-such-and-such-post package and a less-than package, or a joined-before-blah-date package and joined-after-blah-date package.

Subtletanks91 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I think the post count is a good idea. Less than 30 posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 How about using random number generator? for example from member 200 to 210, 5(or any number) members will win. you can add a min 30 post as requirement also but not required. I will contribute with 15 Malawa shrimp, shipping on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 That's very generous of you. however I think member 200-210 is to small a window. I believe a requirement of max 30)50 posts and had shrimp maybe for one year max (trust honesty on this on no true way to tell) should be two standard rules. Then out of the people that enter use a random number generator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtletanks91 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I know I have been counting this down as well. I'm excited for this one. I will post the rules once we hit two hundred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I was just looking at how many pages are full of member but have 0 posts, it's kinda sad there's only two pages with active member. So the first rule is you must have at least 15 posts but no more than 100 to enter(if this is your 101 post that is ok) There is 11 pages of members and only 3-4 of them have posts. And the first two pages are the active members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff0712 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 A small but strong community is what it seems like here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 We do have an active community here. I think that's what's nice about this place. Most of us believe that as shrimpers we have to encourage one another, instead of discourage. THAT's what I really like about here. Whether one is a beginner or professional, all are welcome. Another thing I like is that I fully believe secrets in shrimping will KILL this hobby in the US if it keeps up. Lots of tips have been shared very freely here, and will be big helps as we continue to unravel shrimping mysteries..
