Extra! Extra!
I’ve been officially anointed by Sir Moderator 72 as the CR Marketing Manager.
My first step as manager will be to implement the following:
Each member of the chashuva CR must email 5 friends- inviting them to join the CR.
For those concerned with privacy, there is no need to reveal you screen name to your friends.
In addition, follow up is a necessary part of this new marketing policy.
Further suggestions to improve the current state of the silent summer CR are largely welcome.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.
~ your Marketing Manager, areivim

when are status reports due?
August 18, 2009 7:30 pm at 7:30 pm #653345WolfishMusingsParticipantConsidering the fact that I’ve probably sent well more than five people here, I consider my job done.

August 18, 2009 7:31 pm at 7:31 pm #653346mepalMemberAreivim, congratulations on your new title. If you do your job well, you may be even lucky to keep it for more than a year 😉
August 18, 2009 7:35 pm at 7:35 pm #653347YW Moderator-80MemberAugust 18, 2009 7:38 pm at 7:38 pm #653348mepalMemberUh oh. Someone’s getting into trouble…
August 18, 2009 7:41 pm at 7:41 pm #653350aussieboyParticipantMod80: so does the formula go by using the actual numbers of mods or does it use the moderator numbers? 🙂
August 18, 2009 7:46 pm at 7:46 pm #653351areivimzehlazehParticipantReport is due Thursday 3:00pm EST
Encourage your friends not only to check this place out, but to send a trial post and see how it goes over… how they feel about it. It’s a thrilling experience! They will be cordially and warmly welcomed by our special Welcoming Committee and all new posts will get an exciting response from us old timers
That’s another point- the Welcoming Committee (that includes all old & loyal members) must get back on its feet in order for this to survive.
I nominate ames and Jax to submit a sample invitation each which we can all use (male & female versions)- with slight changes to suit each receiver.
Whether your friend is opinionated or chilled out- it makes no difference.
The CR has a topic just for them and their special interests.
Does your friend have a special hobby? Pet peeve? A talent in writing interesting divrei torah? Is he/she a hock-a-cheinik? Is your friend a genius with lots to share on a range of topics? PERFECT- this is the place for him/her!
Jax and ames- step up to the plate, take on this new duty and report back ASAP.
Much appreciated
~ Marketing Manager
August 18, 2009 7:51 pm at 7:51 pm #653352areivimzehlazehParticipantHello Mod 80- I never extended a proper welcome: WELCOME TO THE LOONY CR! Thank you for taking on the risks of a grand mod
Do I have your nomination?
Just a reminder: mod 72 is here long enough to represent 72% of the CR moderation board. That’s already more than two-thirds… but I’ll give you the courtesy of a vote ;);)
See sub-section 3, paragraph 2 for formulae for calculating the two-thirds….80
August 18, 2009 7:54 pm at 7:54 pm #653353mepalMemberWow areivim, you’re going strong. Do we get points according to our number of tries or by actual results only?
August 18, 2009 8:01 pm at 8:01 pm #653355YW Moderator-72Participantvery good. great catch 80. however, you forgot about the grandfather clause in the intro to Edition 2.v5 – also known as the 171rule (72 and 99) in which 72 and 99 are not bound by limitations expounded upon in editions post edition 1.v2a.
Last I checked the edition you quoted from is from is 3.v1… how about some more coffee over here (and no grumbling)…
August 18, 2009 8:02 pm at 8:02 pm #653356areivimzehlazehParticipantmod80 is avoiding aussie’s question which coincidentally is on a need to know basis… I hereby call an old timers mod & member meeting to reconcile this new dilemma
mepal- We have no need to for people who don’t post 🙂
August 18, 2009 8:04 pm at 8:04 pm #653357areivimzehlazehParticipant72- I am ROTFLMKO 😉
August 18, 2009 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm #653358YW Moderator-80Memberand um..it seems the coffee machine isn’t working again. I don’t understand why this seems to always happen during my shift. Perhaps if certain Moderators would learn to be more polite, it might happen less often.
August 18, 2009 8:10 pm at 8:10 pm #653359mepalMemberAreivim, cuz its not like we dont try…;-)
August 18, 2009 8:13 pm at 8:13 pm #653360areivimzehlazehParticipantFurthermore, I ask the loyal mepal to bring to the top of the page the “New Members” thread. This will provide the basis for the progress report which is due this Thursday.
Thank you
August 18, 2009 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #653361areivimzehlazehParticipantto calculate: it took 1 hour to get this topic approved. It then took about 50 minutes to get 18 posts… That’s 1 post every 2.777 minutes. I’d say that’s nice progress for a new topic.
We should have this much success in our true mission.
LETS GO CR MARKETING!
The CR needs YOU!!!
August 18, 2009 8:22 pm at 8:22 pm #653362mepalMemberareivim, it was 20 a few minutes ago…Now that’s something to cry about.
And, at your service! I’ll bring up the new thread asap.
August 18, 2009 8:28 pm at 8:28 pm #653363areivimzehlazehParticipantWhy is that something to cry about? The more posts the better
and- while I was posting it was at 17… my post making it 18 (never argue with your manager;))
Who’s that 19th or 20th culprit? I don’t see any new posts here…
August 18, 2009 8:31 pm at 8:31 pm #653364mepalMemberIts sad that it went from 20 posts to 18. Thats all. I guess they did that to you behind your back.
August 18, 2009 10:28 pm at 10:28 pm #653365YW Moderator-42ModeratorDoes inviting old members back count toward our marketing quota?
Unfortunately, if the old members aren’t reading they won’t know that they are being invited back so someone has to email or approach them in person
August 18, 2009 10:29 pm at 10:29 pm #653366areivimzehlazehParticipanthey mod 42- welcome back!!
and I thought you were gone for good 😉
August 18, 2009 10:33 pm at 10:33 pm #653367areivimzehlazehParticipantRule: bringing back old members does qualify
August 18, 2009 10:50 pm at 10:50 pm #653368areivimzehlazehParticipantok- we have 2 points on the board!
mod42 & noitallmr have returned
August 19, 2009 12:07 am at 12:07 am #653369areivimzehlazehParticipantames- nice!
Can we have a sample INVITE? As in a flyer or letter to send via email before someone joins or even heard of the CR…
August 19, 2009 12:09 am at 12:09 am #653370JaxMemberok this thread is hilarious! i’m ROTFLMKO!
areivim congrats on this new position! may you use it to serve the CR in the best of your abilities!
now to talk tachlos:
-as much as i would want to increase the total of CR Members in the CR, i will not email friends about this wonderful place! for the reason of, that i do sound like myself in the CR! and don’t wanna risk blowing my cover! however if i can suggest an option here, maybe the Editor/YWN can send out a mass email to all YWN Members informing them about the CR?! in that email it should rant and rave about this amazing CR and have thread titles in there too that are exciting thread!
-wow, new CR job for me! i’m pretty swamped with all my duties as Chairman of the CR, but i will do my best with this new job of mine! but i need my partner in this job’s help though! my writing skills are not the greatest!(like on elementary school level-yes i even had to use spell check to spell elementary!)
-mod42-welcome back the to CR Zoo!
August 19, 2009 12:10 am at 12:10 am #653371JaxMemberames: hey those sounded awesome! your good at this! 😉
August 19, 2009 3:48 am at 3:48 am #653372AnonymousInactiveThis is a great idea!
A simple way to spread the word about the CR – when there is a funny/interesting etc thread or post, email the link to your friends. You don’t even need to tell them that you post in the CR, you can just say “Hey – check out this funny thread” and include the link.
August 19, 2009 7:17 pm at 7:17 pm #653373areivimzehlazehParticipantmod 55- brilliant chapp
All: go ahead and email links
And that’s an order from the manager!
🙂
PS- Jax, do you really holler and laugh all day?
PPS- I forgot to thank The Wolf for being such a loyal member and creating the refuah before the makkoh 🙂 Question: do you know the sn’s of the people you sent to the CR?
August 19, 2009 7:36 pm at 7:36 pm #653374areivimzehlazehParticipantI add a third point to the CR welcoming board… “working” has decided to post when s/he normally does not.
WORKING: Thank you for re-joining the active CR members- your active participation is immensely appreciated!
August 19, 2009 8:57 pm at 8:57 pm #653375areivimzehlazehParticipantPoint #4 goes to bringing back the all important squeak! (That should really get 5 points in and of itself…)
squeak- please stick around… The CR is not the same without you

August 20, 2009 6:08 pm at 6:08 pm #653380mepalMemberLike we were worried YWN would have to close down due to lack of resources!!

August 20, 2009 8:04 pm at 8:04 pm #653392mepalMemberareivim, make sure anonymisss sees that. Then maybe she’ll actually choose to STAY.
