The FastDay Forum

[Moogie]

Hi all, and sorry my time here seems so minimal of late, life just seems so busy and it's all I can do to keep up with work and a bit of site development/brainstorming in the few 'good' hours I muster each day. (Nonetheless my health does seem to slowly still be improving, despite the setbacks of day to day life!)

Anyway, long story short. We want to try to encourage more of our many visitors/lurkers to sign up. At the moment we just have a box at the bottom of the main site pages inviting them to sign up because it's free. But that doesn't say a lot does it? There's so much more to being a member and we want to highlight the benefits of signing up.

We've got a few short 'blurbs' (as I call them!) outlining the benefits of membership, our three key ones being the forum, the tracker and a new tool which we hope to have ready soon. It would be giant help if you could take a moment just to vote in this poll.

Imagine you have just found this site for the first time, which of these blurbs would most encourage you to sign up?

Thankies!

You have only 11% of members who are men...........

The site has helped me a lot - I love it! But as most members are women a lot of posts are orientated to and answered by women. Im not a 'chatty girlie type' but I like to find answers to my queries rather than 'chat'.

I dont think men are too interested in 'chatty forums' - can you think about Forums for Men? On your members page perhaps introduce a filter for Male members. There is a missed market here to be tapped - after all Dr MM is a bloke!

I don't want to be difficult, Moogie, but Option 4 doesn't make sense. How could 'thousands of our members find that using our free tracker makes you more likely to achieve your goal'?
Surely them using 'our free tracker' makes them more likely to achieve their goal'?

I know what you are trying to say and it is quite true that the use of the tracker is very motivating but it's just not quite grammatical.

I'm sure that someone will be along to pull me up on my use of grammar/punctuation soon, so don't take my comment too badly, please! I love the way that you and the team are working so hard to make this site a success. Thank you!

I don't see how to respond to the poll. I like the last one best.
