I know there has been a lot of people noticing that there has been increasingly less traffic here recently, and I think it would be awesome if we could get together and do something about it. How cool would it be to get some Nerdfighters back here or here for the first time?
I have a couple ideas to start but we need more!
IDEAS:
- One of the easiest ways would probably be to post on any Nerdfighter Facebook groups you belong to about this forum and encourage people to make profiles if they haven't already.
- Another thing we can do is email/ John and Hank to get them to mention this forum more in their videos/social media.
So who's in? DFTBA!
There are only two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

I'll also try to post on the facebook pages and such!

But seriously, if people can get a good topic going that really encourages discussion, that would help. It may also give the Greens a reason to refer people to the forums. But that kind of thing would be difficult to do artificially

Rather stuffy in here, odd smells, not much room... but besides that, not too bad, all things considered.
Lothian Tam here, one of the staff members over at the ning. Now, some might be wondering why not all our users are interested in migrating over to yourpants. Nothing really against yourpants in fact, it's a nice forum.
But the ning wasn't just a forum to begin with. It was a community based around each other, not topics or threads. Yourpants is missing a few features that many of our members enjoyed, and while those who actively used the forums - as I did before joining the staff team - may come here, those outside of that particular bubble might not be so interested.
It's with that in mind, the staff decided to move ahead with the opening of Nerdfighteria.ning.com
Now, nothing is stopping any our members coming here to post, in fact, more power to us nerds! But for those who might want a little more than a forum to commune within, we'll have our community site set up.
The intention is to run the place with content created by Nerdfighters, it's easy enough to rest on the work from Hank and John, but there's hundreds of thousands of us Nerdfighters, and we ought show off their skills and talent as much as the godhead of Nerdom that is the Greens!
Vlog? Write? Be a little artistic? I want to see it and share it!
From ningmasters sexually targeting mentally ill women, to mods telling a mentally disabled - in this Autistic teenagers - person to go kill themselves, by the end of that year I had gotten rid of another ningmaster, gotten rid of the mod in question and set about enforcing the rules to keep stable and user friendly.
As for being independent of the brothers, besides Hank paying for the Ning monthly - at the time, the twenty five dollars -, they had very little input or touch on the project towards the later years; certainly after Tom's accident and recovery. Can't imagine much interaction between the new site and the brothers themselves unless they get into contact once more.
But aye, if people don't mind me using my Scots, and quote auld Rabbie burns:
Anyway, here's to hoping this board can become something nicer & livelier in the next few months!
Yeah, took a lot of work on the staff's part to fix these problems. Thank hell we did in the end, or it'd have not been worth continuing.
Here's to Yourpants, and Nerdfighteria!
