As an old sales rep..
..lemme help ya with the posiitive ideas that this kinda thread needs to succeed, OK? :-D
I was planning to ask what plans folk have for this half term break :D
With wintry weather so far forecast to go on for days, my sales training in turning obstacles into opportunities & stumbling blocks into stepping stones really kicks in here, yes? :wink:
In fact, let's grasp da nettle of da long-range forecast of da coldest winter in @ 10 yrs, OK? :fadein:
Being in a 'Net pub in Sunny Sleepy Southport, I just this minute told
mein host that, with UK media whipping up fears of Birmingham weekend riots spreading UK-wide, this seaside resort's quiet, sedate, civilised, polite image needs marketting as a positive draw to city folk as a safe haven, a means of peaceful escape from da daily round :angel:
(See http://www.VisitSouthport.com & http://www.Liverpool08.com & http://www.merseyworld.com to see how far UK marketting may have to go to catch up with you suoerbly in-ya-face USA folk, huh?)

Same obviously applies to cyber-space in general - but especially to the Christian peace/love/joy/wisdom/guidance we can offer our networks of friends!! 8-)
I'll tell ya da 1st precinct promo I used for this fine site - round the superb acoustics of Liverpool's famous St John's Precinct @ 4.15/4.30pm on Fri, as the newly freed students flocked to that trendy mall...
"R U fishing 4 da best Cheristmas bargains?
"Eternal life - thru Christ - is absolutely FREE!!
"Seek wisdom - seek understanding, 4 they will crown your life with honour", says Bible Proverbs
"So enjoy fishing @ http://www.ChristianForums.net
It just keeps on getting better...
http://www.ChristianForums.net !!!!" :P
My salesman's hunch is that we could well out-perform the similarly-named site that claims to be the biggest, but has SOOOOOOOOO many technical hitches & regular shut-downs as a result :o
I did similar motivational messages throughout my 18 months there
The results?
When I joined, we were @ 23,700 members
We doubled in less than 6 months
Tripled in less than 8 months
Quadrupled in @ 10 months & quintupled in less than 15 months
Why can we do even better??? :-?
Chiefly because we're more evangelical - (Bible-believing) - in mission statement & more friendly in ethos & practice :-D
So...
what mottos would YOU suggest we network to our networks? :bday:
Why not copy this post to 'em & ask their opinions of this rockin' site? :roll:
Pop in links to, say, entertainment/movie etc forums & your fave threads, yes?
Being a Scouse wit, I'd sure recommend recruiting ya pals into da Design Revolution, to break the global stranglehold of the Evo-Loopy-Poop Empire - & turn as many as possible Anekins away from Vadering on the Darth dark side - (see many funny Creation?Evolution posts this past week or so!)
Revenge of the Sixth Form starts here - onto the goal of academic freedom from the totalitarian Thought Police - ably aided by Beast etc threads in Signs of the Times etc threads/forum, yes? :evil:
God bless!
