Hi all,
I would like to ask a a great favour from you. It is important for us to build our membership and so, could I ask you to recommend your friends to Not Dead Yet. I hope you don't mind me asking this of you but it will help to build the site.
Thank you

Maurice, as Germans prefer to join German forums, it will be a difficult task! However, I'm really happy that you and the members of the forum have accepted me so quickly. Thank you all!

Teri, As I have said before. It is a pleasure to have you in the forum!! -- How else would we be able to understand what it is like in another Country, compared with our own???

Teri it was easy to accept you ! :-*

Thank you, but I often think I'm a bit offending you sometimes with my opinions that are so contrary to yours. However, I hope that "friendship will endure this" as our chancellor Schroeder said when he said "NO" to Bush regarding the participation in the war in the Iraq.

Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: Phoenix on May 22, 2008, 09:03:04 PM

Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: ansu on May 22, 2008, 09:26:13 PM
Phoenix, but your own - two years ago I got some poems from an Australian penpal who pretended that he had written them by his own, but alas they weren't his own. I found them on the internet - the author was an English prof.


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: Phoenix on May 23, 2008, 08:21:55 PM
I personally, would not use aanother's name, to Publish any material on the Internet?? -- The only exception is via our web 'circle' of friends (they come in!! They go out)!! -- Sometimes there are Interesting letter's that are 'sent' but I alway's leave the Author's Name on. The Credit is their's, Not mine!! -- But I will get around to posting some soon. Would be good if othere's would do this also --- I love poems!  So lets have some, Please!!
 If by other Authors, just leave their name on!

Phoenix...why dont we create a `CAFE`on this site have a section called `THE CAFE`then people could wander in and  out...like a real `cafe`...the newbe`s may prefer a cafe
to meet in..what do other people think..any other idea`s.


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: ansu on August 05, 2008, 08:33:01 AM
Smiler, that'a good idea - a café open from ..... to ...... hours, where we could meet to exchange experiences. Has anybody any proposition???


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: mac on August 05, 2008, 07:19:49 PM
I just dont know,we have the chat room but it is rarely used,it would be nice to talk soemtimes instead of posting.


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: ansu on August 05, 2008, 08:05:12 PM
Mac, William is back again, so the chat room will be again used every evening, I suppose.


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: mac on August 06, 2008, 12:07:43 PM
Its always good to see it used Teri


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: Phoenix on August 06, 2008, 01:59:16 PM
Where do all those New members get too ??????


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: ansu on August 07, 2008, 08:30:02 AM
No idea, perhaps we should install a "message board" or similar to facilitate "Newbies" the communication.


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: maurice on August 07, 2008, 09:49:04 AM
I was thinking of setting up a space for new members to introduce themselves on the front page and also a list of headings for the days forum subjects any member could add to the list. What do you think


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: mac on August 07, 2008, 06:06:57 PM
Good idea Maurice,its in a bit of a muddle and must be confusing to the newbies.


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: Phoenix on August 08, 2008, 03:11:20 PM
Hum!!  Don't know why there should be a problem for new members ??  We was ALL new at one time and we do manage!! Just wish 'they' would  come and post ?????


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: ansu on August 08, 2008, 05:16:19 PM
Good idea Maurice, when I think what problems I had with the forum and the chat room at the beginning, but fortunately I soon found someone to help me and to encourage me to post.


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: william on August 08, 2008, 05:26:35 PM
I agree with Pheonix, if an old duffer lke me can do it, then anyone can do it. just persevere


Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: ansu on August 08, 2008, 05:31:28 PM

Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: Phoenix on August 09, 2008, 03:57:27 PM
William, Thanks for your support!!  We can do it ????
So, it takes a 'Moment of time' = New knowledge!!

Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: ansu on August 09, 2008, 09:17:51 PM

Post by: mac on August 11, 2008, 08:17:47 PM

Title: Re: building our membership
Post by: Phoenix on August 11, 2008, 08:28:25 PM
Mac, The reason I suggested SKYPE, is because of the 'Clarity' of Sound. Just as though you are 'together' in the same room = Brilliant!!
