Guest Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I always liked when you did podcasts thought they were pretty good there was a section in the middle that was kind of weird when you were talking to Edgar or w/e. <3 blades of steel back in the day and I wouldn't mind joining you sometime on this. Yeah Edgar sent me photos of boobs and it was distracting Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/3461-blades-of-steel-episode-1/page/2/#findComment-24485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 708 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 They were probably his boobs even more distracting. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/3461-blades-of-steel-episode-1/page/2/#findComment-24487 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devise 4,475 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Just listening now. I agree with you about recruitment. Even if we get people here the issue for us has always been low retention numbers. In regards to getting more people here, it is tough...that is for sure. Trying to promote is certainly a positive. But we have tried/exhausted tons of ideas, not to add on to an excuse. I think some type of Recruitment Drive Period for a few months where every member who gets someone to sign up and create gets bonus TPE is useful. I think before we initiate such a plan we need to work on a serious retention program, hand holding if we need to and not only introducing people to the way to earn TPE and all that but introducing them to the core group of people in this forum. Someone who explains to who each member is, where to participate in various discussions and encourage them to get active and posting around the boards. In regards to the Facebook Page, you keep seeming to think Mike or 808 run that but I actually do. When I took over the reigns of posting updates on the Facebook page it had 40 likes back in September or October. We are at 61 now. Some are friends of people who are in the VHL. While I'll hardly call it the most successful campaign in the world, the key for me is showcasing it as a place of discussion and news. You can't really promote via the FB page obviously, other than ads on FB to send people to the league. If recruitment drive ends up going forward that is just more to announce on the FB page. I also a while back suggested an idea of some type of giveaway or contest on our FB page that causes people to like and spread our FB page to enter. Also I have stats on how many posts have been seen by different people on FB. A lot of times there is more views than we have Facebook likes. So it can spread, the more activity we put on that thing the more it will spread as well. As much as 113 people for example saw the post about waiting for the site to return. (Even though I had no idea at the time I was just trying to calm the crowd.) But thus far sir it's been a good listen. The issues in regards to recruitment are certainly there but I think the expectations are so high because before the forum went down we actually were hitting very strong strides in terms of consistently getting new members come onto the board. Sadly when you take a massive outage like that you take a hit, and it is something we need to accept happened and take the brunt of the consequence. Now is the time to pay the piper on what happened and get out there and do whatever we can to get more members.

RomanesEuntDomus 442 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think we need to change some things about the VHLM. I don't know what exactly but to me the VHLM seems too bloated at the moment. Ten teams is just way too many if you consider the number of junior players we have per year, which is 30-40 at best, and way less if you only count semi-actives and actives. I don't think the VHLM is very interesting if there are only like 2-3 teams per season who are even able to do anything and the rest has no players at all or, even worse, only 1-2 players but a GM who doesn't care because he thinks he has no chance this season anyway, so he isn't active and the players on his team lose interested. Shrinking the VHLM down to eight or, which would prefer six team, would be a good starting point to bring more competitiveness and parity to the league and make sure that active and interested people can find each other in the locker rooms. It would also put a stop to that annoying cycle of 2-3 seaons of tanking, then one season of contending with a super stocked roster, then tanking again, that every VHLM-franchise seems to be pretty much forced to go through with our current system. I'm just a few minutes in though, still have to listen to most of it.

Guest Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just so you aware Ryan, it went up to 61 likes because of me sharing it in a couple groups haha Romanes, if we shrink it down, we have to shrink the VHL down.

RomanesEuntDomus 442 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Why do the VHL and the VHLM need the same number of teams? It's not like we have affiliates or something like that, so I wouldn't see a problem with having ten VHL-teams but only six in the VHLM. Or am I missing something?

I like to think I do an acceptable job, but maybe that is just me being bias. Is this going to become a thing now where you refer to me by my actual first name?

Other leagues do seem to manage having a different number of teams in the Pros and Juniors though, but apparently this is not an option with our current sim engine?!

Yes I will now refer to you as Ryan, it's a cool name. Plus often times I mis pronounce your member name. I do think you do a good job with the page, obviously your goal is to update it and such. What I was saying is if we attract more people to seeing those updates they may look at our link and then come here.
