how do we attract more people to sign up to join?
As of today the membership count here is 50.
I doubt any more would transfer over from the old Sulekha CH to here, at least not in significant numbers (may be 10-20).
So, how do we swell member rolls here?

How do we advertise the neat features we have here - posting from mobile devices, posting in languages, video and picture posting, no advertisements, ability to edit posts, etc. etc., so more folks would sign up?

Perhaps if you post on the old CH talking about these features, some of the people who are reluctant to move will listen. The messenger is often more important than the message. Early on, I used to post frequently on old CH about this new forum. I stopped doing this because it became counter-productive coming from me. I hope others will continue to provide a link at old CH to this forum, so infrequent visitors know about this place.indophile wrote:How do we advertise the neat features we have here - posting from mobile devices, posting in languages, video and picture posting, no advertisements, ability to edit posts, etc. etc., so more folks would sign up?

Will do it sometime. Got to go now.
I was actually thinking attracting people from more than the old CH. From here, India, UK etc.

I am new to search-engine optimization. I am trying to learn the tricks and implement those, so people searching for a desi community forum would see this near the top of their search results. If any CHers have experience with this, I would appreciate their help / advice / tips.indophile wrote:Will do it sometime. Got to go now.

Also, people who participate on other online forums may consider promoting this site in those forums as well.

Type in and repeat a few search terms several times over in some thread and make that a sticky for now.

advertising this on reddit india forum might help.
if more people search for something on google and click on forumotion, it will bring forumotion onto the front page of google. all u have to do is search for desi forums/coffeehouse and click on forumotion link. this is how my friend got his blog on google's first page. after sometime the first page was all about him/his linked in profile and his website/his blog and his home on google earth except another guy with same name in the end on first page.

We don't. Whoever wants to be here is here. No need for newbies. Even if newbies come in they will be suspected to be proxies of established handles.

Oh I proposed the meeting after the break up. TW has some email that the guy wants back. Wonder if she will ask him to read it aloud before deleting and if he will show up in shorts.

very funny r2d2. now wait for someone to declare that we were an item and we met many times on the train two years from now. this is like being in high school again, not that i am complaining as long as i am part of the drama.

I propose Maria and FF have coffee and discuss about trying such. LOL they might end up trying something else...
I was only kidding Maria...I knew you would kill me...
See...if FF joins such and Maria follows ....we can confirm that she has a secret crush on him and vice versa! I am watching!

dude, it would have been awfully funny if it was not as melodramatic. Its like the songs in movies, where one guy writes a letter and ties it on the pigeon and sends it to the other. Only it is a break up. I am still rolling on the floor seeing all the drama.

FF gets Impy.
I can't pick one for Maria, ideally it will be PI (I specifically mentioned no romance womance involved).

i should have known, i should have known! there was a reason why no one was picking on the bully. now i broke up with my main e-squeeze that i had a crush on, the other one won't drink coffee with me because i bytched about my other squeeze and pi won't have it anyway because i am with benign behna. end of the day no pants, no coffee.

"no pants".. you still get to read aloud the emails..
Now that you have broken up, you can still pick up someone here (the unassigned ones).

Re: how do we attract more people to sign up to join?
one way of attracting members is by advertizing on other desi sites (like echarcha.com for example). openly advertizing there will lead to a ban and deletion (the deletion will ensure your message does not reach the target audience). the only other way is through PMs to the active members there. someone with a lot of free time can do this. i will make an initiative and post my progress later.

for starters, in addition to existing multiple handle(res), everybody should maintain 2,3 handles
