Attracting new members

[FujiKiwi]

I’m still genuinely interested to know if the 8 or 9 guests in the forum at any given time are likely to be people or just bots?

Probably people like me who rarely post and couldn't be bothered to log in if only reading / lurking.

I’m the same on PR. There’s a big payoff for the lurker there: rich traditions, funny shitfights, batshit crazy idiots. But this forum is young, doesn’t have the epic feel to it as yet. Why are you just browsing here and not posting? Not suggesting you should, just interested.

I agree, and it would be reasonable to assume that more people from PR will join us when the old bored finally goes or fundamentally changes it’s modus operandi.

Edit: good to see you here BnM

In my opinion, this bored is already a big improvement on the pr one, in both content and function.

I'd recommend some measures to get it search engine optimised. I tried to find it on my phone and no combination of "forum", "rugby", "planet", "not" would get a hit. In the end I had to type it in the address bar like it was the 90s.

This

Because I delete my phone regularly in case someone not me picks up my phone and wants to search my browser history, I have to try and find this site. PR or f365 forums pop up unless you hate type in www.notplanetrugby.com/bored

Use private browsing or better yet a private browser.

It's not the 90's.

Well, this is basically just PR moving to a new location. Most of the old regulars are here (I guess) and carrying on as before. Why shouldn't the lurkers follow the same pattern?

Phase 1 yes i agree, it is more or less a direct transplant, but i am hoping to evolve in a way that gives users more control over content with the use of things like blogs and other tools.

Bots. Spiders. Crawlers.

They come at night. Mostly.

Bet you felt all big and smart writing that - let’s just just say there is more on my phone than simple porn browsing history on iPhone safari that is prob best not seen by anyone else.

So what's that got to do with your browser history then you dipshit tryhard infant?

I said delete phone, as in a reset - clearing browser history is but one part. Dodgy vids mates have sent on various media is the main thing i don’t want the kids to see, like ‘Adnans spinning tractor ‘ or skynliv jet. Unless private mode on a browser clears that, then your clever post is invalid, soz, dickface.

Just download Folder Lock from the iPhone store and you can drop all your grumble content in it and lock it up tightly so none but you get to see it...no need for a reset

Yeeb also wants to know if there's an android equivalent.

Also, most Android phones have a Fingerprint lock you can apply to specific apps

Big members list at this forum, a Site Admin mass email to the lot of them might work. Make them feel wanted.

Dear Valued Forum Member.

What the fuck are you doing? You can't just sign up to www.notplanetrugby.com then bugger off for weeks and weeks on end leaving us all in the fucken lurch.

Selfish, that's what it is.

Just fucken selfish.

Your mother and I are very, very disappointed in your behaviour.

Therefore, we have decided you have until sundown to report BACK to the forum to entertain us. Failure to comply will leave us with little recourse other than to sell your email address to Zuckerberg or Bezos or some other internet wanker.

Thank you for your cooperation in this most pressing matter.



Regards,

-The www.notplanetrugby.com management team.


ps, hURRY UP SHITHEAD. IT'S GETTING FUCKEN DARK HERE ALREADY.
