I'm hurting.

We discussed yesterday the problem with a decline in the post count.

So one guy is on a crusade this morning to help rev things up, which is great, well done Jac.
 
What has he done? Posted on every Diary, to prompt further posts & interest. Which is great.
 
When I say "EVERY Diary", that's not quite true, of course.

    There are too many diaries on here, clogging up Poker chat. Please can we have a Diary board?

    What exactly they're getting in the way of I'm not sure, but a little like taking an umbrella to the Sahara you just never know, right?

    :)

    It's a Friday so hopefully that will help a little with the interaction.

    i don't think it is a good idea to post on every diary.  i agree with mike, and others who have written the same in the past, diaries on the chat page is not good for the health of the forum.

    we have a community section which is not engaging with the sky poker population.  it is an acute problem, not yet chronic.  thankfully.

    i have a number of ideas to reverse the current downward trend.

    Maybe 
    The fact that the post count is down and there are fewer diaries perhaps suggests that they do the forum no harm?
    I guess it's the same with duplicate results threads. We have a stickied one which is excellent. Then there's another one as well.

    Be good to hear your ideas on reversing the trend Aussie

    I'll think you'll find that Mikes post was tongue in cheek by the way

    what is your understanding of why the forum is in decline? 

    are you suggesting that diaries act to stimulate the poker chat forum?  you know that they have proliferatad in the past and people commented that they were overwhelming the poker chat and new posts were being shuffled off the front page too quickly.

    your multiple posts on all diaries, including dormant threads, is not really helping.  you won't see that if you think that diaries on poker chat is a positive thing.

    ideas on how to improve engagement needs to address a fundamental problem first.  you articulate this fundamental problem well.

    Very good
    I'll point out that all i did was respond to your post.
    You don't like diaries, I don't like certain threads.

    I'll not let the irony of your other points bother me.
    I was in a number of Facebook groups but got fed up with the daily mass spamming on all of them.

    Maybe use the sky facebook/twitter page to promote the community games like the dtd on a monday f.o.s.p games on a thursday and any other community based games then make sure the post points them to the community to register/read up on the events that are on.

    maybe do a community night have 3 games pl0, pl08 & holdem best score wins a free seat and get people to register on the community by doing that it may make them more intreseted in looking around and getting involved.

    Get the sky poker ambassador to play more games and invole the community even maybe put a special bonus on his head nothing big

    What about bringing back post of the month?

    Excuse me, I think you find petty arguments mean the post count increases. 

    Anyway, lets put the poker back in poker chat.....DYMs are not real poker. Discuss....

    Pictures!

    The main problem with this forum has always been the stupid picture approval thing.

    I know it has been discussed in the past.

    It really does limit humour and affect the general feel of the place. Sky poker forum is a wall of text punctuated by the odd emoji from 2001
