Members MIA

[OliveFish05]

Maybe it’s like “Hey, we are here for you if you need anything”

Yes exactly! Let them know you are still there, should they want to come back

You don't need moderator approval to send someone a message and let them know they are missed.

My point is they left for a reason, so sending out an email saying, “Hey, did you forget about TFF?” May seem a bit out of line.

I don’t think so. I think they would be touched by it. If so, we get a good member back. F not, then nothing lost.

@WhistlingBadger No, that won’t work if they don’t come on any longer. It will have to be through mods who have access to their emails. If the mods won’t support recruiting back good members then we are already sunk. Forums are dying right and left and thinking out of the box is the only way to survive. Otherwise, we will soon be extinct just like the other fish forums. I for one, don’t want to see that happen.

Uh, I believe we could word it better than that.

@Essjay, @Fishmanic, @Wills, @Chad, @dascrow @WhistlingBadger is this even possible if we got a list of members together? We know banned members would not be included.

If the members who havent been on are site for awhile choose to not come back, that is their choice. There are many reasons why a member may have chosen to leave - either permanently or temporarily. Many members have come back after a pause as they find value here. I personally would just leave it up to them whether to return or not. Members come - members leave - it's not up to us to contact them asking for a reason.

@Fishmanic on a different topic, I still think we need an agree button to select. The Like button is ok but still doesn't fit for agreeing with someone.

That’s a shame. I’d like to hear from other Mods. As I stated, if you don’t start thinking outside of the box, this forum will soon become extinct like the others, IMO. All I can do is all I can do and all can do is enough. Rest is up to you guys. I will offer no further suggestions. It was a little out of my comfort zone anyway.

TFF won’t be dead as long as I’m around. Long live TFF!!!

TFF is not going anywhere. If others can put up with me, they can put up with anything. lol....

You’re so young. You don’t get it how things work just yet. I’m a little puzzled anyway. You are the only member against my suggestion. Makes me question why.

I don’t see @PheonixKingZ quoting/posting that in this thread. Maybe i’m blind?
