New Member Chat Hour

[steve_morgan]

Ok guys! This will be our official thread to discuss our newly revamped New Member Chat Hour taking place on Monday Nights at 7 PM Eastern.

Check out my thread in the Announcement forum for all of the details.

The first one will take place on Next Monday night. We do have a few cards in the prize vault that I may use for this every now and then, but would rather leave those in there for bigger contests in possible. If anyone has anything they would like to donate to be used in this chat, please edit it into this thread. I will be starting it out. I also have been given authorization to utilize 1200 CC per month for this. This gives us 300 cc per chat. Any chat I am unable to make it to, I will be in touch to transfer this CC to whoever will be standing in that particular week.

I hope everyone on our team can make it to at least a couple of these a month, as I could use the help :)

Right now, I would like to grab at least one more basketball and one more hockey card to offer up as part of the pool in the New Member Contest. Whats left I will use in the Chats.

I'll be there.

[steve_morgan]

Everyone stop in tonight. Roger is stopping in with a prize to give away it seems. ;)

Hey guys.. New Member chat was a bust tonight. Does anyone have any ideas to get more people in there on a weekly basis?

[mess0312]

Sorry to hear that, probably because I didn't make an appearance ::

I will try and brainstorm some creative ideas....I wonder if people are just enjoying Spring....this thing tends to be cyclical....Hang in there!

[roaddogg02316]

I'd say if there is a new member email let people know in there. Also I know there was people who answered in the thread about the chat hour. Might just take a PM to them to remind them. Is it possible to do a mass PM to only new members?

[Molina00]

Does anyone send out a mass PM to new members for this? Ryan did that when he was running the chat's and we got some pretty decent turnouts. If not, you might see if he can start doing that again. I think only certain level staffers can do that.

I will check with Ryan. Thanks Matthew.
