Forum Post…ers! – Let’s get our forums going!

Okay ladies and gents – Here is my idea for getting our forums started.

What I am looking for – 5-10 people that have got new forums that need a boost in activity.

Right so here is the idea:

We form a collective of 5-10 people that sign-up to each others forums.

Each member of the group then posts 3 messages on each forum, 5 days a week (you can choose what days to post). That means that you will be posting 15 messages per forum, per week. So if we have 5 to 10 members you will be posting 75-150 message a week. (yes it is a lot, we can refine how we do things the furthur we go into this)!
Posts do not have to be long, but you must get involved and participate in discussion, create discussion and interest.

Considering everyone will be posting to each others forums, your forum will be getting anywhere from 75-150 messages a week. Fresh content for google and for your users!

Right so that is about it really! I have setup a google group: http://groups.google.com/group/Forum-Posters Please sign-up there, send me a pm if you have any troubles. It will be first come first served. So if you are member number 11, then you will have to wait for someone to leave before you can become a forum poster.

What are your requirements:
1. Post 3 messages, 5 times in a week to each members forums. (You do not have to post monday-friday, you can choose what days you want to post, so you have 2 days off).
2. Check on google groups for the latest forums that are on the list. (once we get going I do not imagine that this will change much).
3. There will be a list of usernames on the google group forums, you can use this list to see if each poster has posted his/her 15 messages a week. (Everyone will be responsible to monintor their own forums).
4. The week will run from Monday-Sunday.
5. If you stop posting you get dropped and then the next person on the bottom of the list gets let in. If you are going away then let us know. You will probably be put to the bottom of the list and then you will come back in later.
6. No duplicate content posting. Like I said, this is to help get our forums going so good content is a real bonus.
7. If the rules are to be changed then we all agree on them. Or at least 51%. (i.e. if we want to change the number of posts that are made per week, or if someone needs to get booted because they are messing around, etc, etc).
8. You obviously need to appear to be a normal/regular user and not part of the forum posters group.

Ok so the ideas are there… As we go we can refine all of this stuff. But I think it would be great to have 7 people posting on my forums regularily and then spread the love by posting on theirs.

Key benefits: 1. When a user comes in, he/she will see that the forum is active. 2. Google, MSN, search engines will love you for more content. 3. Gogle, MSN, search engines will love you for having new content everyday! 4. You get a good community feeling and will get to know people that are in the same industry as their sites grow.

That’s it… enough writting. If you like it then sign-up to google-groups, pm me, whatever.

If you have any ideas/comments/suggestions post it here.
