I am going to send out a newsletter and post on the NPF social media sites about the forum here to try to recruit some new visitors. May also do the annual mailing to reactivate some older posters who haven't visited in a good while too!
What I am after is some ideas about "events" that could attract people to the forum either as part of the one newsletter or over a few weeks.
"Events" could include competitions, games, videos/photos or some other event ideas you can think of.
Any ideas?

Re: Pink Floyd Forum "Event" - Your Thoughts
The Music Trivia game was really popular when it was going. It does take work on someone's part to come up the questions and to check the correctness of the answers. Then you have to have some kind of point system which necessitates someone keeping score. So I don't know if it's worth the trouble or not.

We could form a band and make an album - oh you did that already. Ive noticed a couple of the other Floyd sites are running competitions so looks like they are all after increasing their membership

A lottery event in which the lucky winners gets to meet Waters and Gilmour respectively. Possible participation prize: you get to meet Polly Samson!

Or maybe you could try to get an interview with someone like Guy Pratt and have people send in questions? Of film it?

We could do it again. We just have to lose that whole snotty "professional quality or bust" attitude which killed the second attempt (and rather ruined the first, imo.)drafsack wrote:We could form a band and make an album - oh you did that already.

Oh yeah...the return of the Colbalt them would be a pretty cool event, imo.

I still have that book (I came up with that game, much as I can remember).Creek wrote:The Music Trivia game was really popular when it was going.

Another community made album would be cool. Unfortunately at this point the main thing that will bring people back is activity from either Pink Floyd or the individual solo efforts. When Roger and David release their albums and tour again, I bet we'll see an increase. 2006 was pretty crazy around here with all the tour talk.
Definitely agree with this.mosespa wrote:Oh yeah...the return of the Colbalt them would be a pretty cool event, imo.

Well, what is it going to be? I finally have a multitrack, so tunes I could contribute.
