Strum,
what I did was something I should have done a Long time ago. I have a opt-in newsletter, where people sign up with their email addresses. This list has been slowly growing (I hadn't checked it very much)....and with all the time I have been spending on the forum and the rest of the site, the newsletter hasn't been sent out lately, the last one was sent out was the Winter 2005 Newsletter.
Anyhow, I finally remembered about the newsletter email list I had, so I checked it. And there were almost 2,000 people on the list! So, I sent a email to them asking them to join our forum. I sent the email out this morning (about 8 hrs ago), and ever since, a steady stream of new members (To all New Members, Thank You For Joining!).
My hope is to get the forum to 1,000 members by mid-June. Today we started off at roughly 600 members, and in one day we have gone up over 100 members! That is great! I am going to be doing all I can to make sure that this forum takes off and grows bigger and bigger...
Jason
