How can we as members, help the site?

In lieu of the depletion of cannabis.com members, I think one of the best things we can do to improve the site is to encourage friends and family to join through word of mouth. Personally, I'd hate to see lost faith in this community, but would feel partially responsible, as any site can only be as enjoyable as it's members.
Im kinda' looking for both moderation and member perspectives on ways to replenish any positivity to this site that may or may not have been lost throughout the recent changes. Thanks:D

Well this site is about cannabis and some if not all of your family might not know you smoke weed a lot of people dont agree with it, also quite a lot of people might not have the internet or have time to post here, I think we already have a lot of members but it could never hurt to have any more.

NEVER invite friends and family here....You will lose your anonymity and be sorry for it...They will read your deepest thoughts, your escapades and possibly judge you on those....this is YOUR board, no theirs...
As far as what as members we can do better....
SMOKE MORE WEED!

Well it depends on the family really to be honest some families can be really open but to be honest I dont see a father mother daughter and son posting here its highly unlikely and most parents are too busy anyway.

I'll get my parents posting. Hahaha, my old man wouldnt care what i have to say. Infact, he's worse than me. I'd have to get them a new computer though - and i'm not splashing out on that. Maybe we can get the net on their old piece of shite.

So outta 17 views and 4 responses NOBODY thinks this is a good idea, and NOBODY has any suggestions? Hmmmmmmmm.........?

I agree with that.

Smoke more weed and keep lurking/posting.

This is CANNABIS.COM

Anyone looking up cannabis on the internet will run into this site. If we keep interesting posts going, then lurkers will read and sign up.

We have a lot of loyal members as is. Just stay high :stoned:

I DO agree that's an important aspect to keep in mind.
On the other hand, I just feel like we have a great environment here at cann.com and should all put forth our best efforts to not only sustain, but improve the quality for our members. Am I just not explaining myself well???

Are you talking about a paypal thing or something where we can help out directly?

It would probably be easiest for you to explain what you WANT to do to help.

Personally, I'm not in the financial position to donate cash, I'm just trying to atleast get people thinking in the direction of "what can we do to improve our community."
...is that a BAD thing?


Along the lines of a paypal deal, what about creating "bonus" features for a very reasonable fee? I'd send my $9.99 a month, in exchange for some foolish "extras.":thumbsup:

This site shouldn't really stoop to sending in money... There are far better ways to contribute to the cause of cannabis, maybe members forming rallies, creating flyers, education in the community?

I read once on here that members come and members go. That is also the same for message boards. I don't think cannabis.com is on it's last breath yet. ;)

With the amount of advertising on here i dont think they need anymore money tbh.

This is a good thread, and a good idea - but WHAT can we do?

I for one dont know, but if someone else did i'd be up for trying it.

Getting high more expensive than getting stoned? I sure hope not!

Then again, I do see a few homeless people down mouthwash like it were water.

15 minutes after the beers open theres normally an argument, and 30 mins later we've not only had a scuffle AND we've clamed down again - the beer keeps flowing and we wait for the next argument to come along. I'm very grateful i got out of that house as soon as i could. I like my parents more now im not with them all the time. A 5 minute chat on the phone a week is enough for me. Infact, it's all fairly dysfunctional. I mean, what kind of family gets pissed and has a fight?? None of my mates families ever did.

Maybe that's why i'm an objectional, arrogant and bitter man.

Well I thought you were going to say it was a non stop fun filled party not a pissing contest.

But they say you always hurt the ones you love the most so it sounds like quite a passionate family.

I GOT IT! I GOT IT!

We could bake some cookies and sell them...

Well, we're certainly all loyal. I supose we are, yeah. In a violent loud way lol.

If it wasnt for them i wouldnt have someone to blame for how i turned out ha.

family anf friends, this isnt a toby carvery.

lip your family sounds healthy, better then the ones that bottle shit up and don't say a word

money, nah

i think the lack of memebers is probably due to the cull of the under 18's and the kiddly fiddlers realising they cant hunt for drug induced minors anymore.

i think we should have a gig like live aid but in protest for the legalisation of weed. we could get all the class stoner fueled rock bands.

peace

How bout a car wash?

I could wear my speedo

Reading back, I found my original post to sound a bit offensive. For that I apologize. I did not mean in any way that this site lacks good,...GREAT people! To be a bit more direct, I would ask the Mods and Sundance if there is anything in particular we could do as members to improve our environment, and or, show our appreciation. I can only speak for myself, but this website, I so happened to stumble upon, has become one of the most inexpensive ways to enjoy MY time. Maybe I'm wierd to some of you but I was raised to appreciate things and show gratitude. Hopefully you understand.

Speaking for myself........just by playing it mellow makes this site more appealing to newer members not to mention it makes our task here much easier. It seems when members leave from here there are at least 5 others to take their place.

Believe me......we are just as busy, if not more, than ever.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

I got a suggestion for members to improve the site... r.e.s.p.e.c.t. If everyone followed the golden rule, it could only make this place more awesome. :stoned: Pretend you're sitting and smoking a bowl with whoever you're posting to, that should help.

One word:
POSITIVITY.

Maybe a mod can answer this - Are the banner ads on this site "pay per click"?

PC :smokin:

PC, I don't know about that, but if they were, suggesting that people click on them just for revenue would not be good- like cheating- and could create problems with our advertisers. I'm not even going to GO there. So just continue on as you have been; if an ad interests you, by all means visit it! There are some good vendors represented, who I have happily used myself in the past.
Anyway I think this thread has pretty much fulfilled its usefulness... I'm going to lock it now.
Be positive everyone! :D
