Duncan Campbell (businessavante) Appreciation Day on BizSugar: Happy Anniversary Mister Moderator!
"Hi Duncan, I just wanted to say that Yoni and I are very pleased to see the tremendous turnout of support that you received, deservedly so! It was not unexpected. When the article was written, we both knew what would happen. It was actually kind of fun to watch. From sixteen and a hot topic to twenty. Then thirty. Forty. Then fifty! You earned it. Yoni is recovering in hospital from a tonsilectomy, made a bit rougher by his unusual immune disorder and an infection that it caused. I hope by the end of next week he will be back in action on BizSugar. All the best and Happy Independence Day!"Duncan Campbell (businessavante) Appreciation Day on BizSugar: Happy Anniversary Mister Moderator!
"Hi Duncan, I see you voting and commenting and doing your monumental Herculean job again. But I just don't get something. There are, I'm told 150,000 members here. Yet I figure you leave at least 50% of the comments. Which leaves me to figure that the other 149,999 members leave the other 50%. It's insane. Your enthusiasm is noble and laudable, hence, this article that was written. I just ask though what steps, if any, the site itself is taking to get people more involved and get some action going around here. When you're not logged in, things are stagnant and nothing happens. When you log in the energy begins. I just have to ask, though I know it's the job of others to do it, what will it take to get the other thousands participating more actively. Sorry, I know I'm venting, but it's just frustrating watching your one-man-show of keeping things alive around here. I also imagine it might be kind of frustrating for you. In any case, Yoni should be home on Sunday after a long, long delay and I know he will join you, but shit, that still leaves around 149,980 people - excluding the core group of 20 who can be called pretty active. Someone with authority, a decision maker in the marketing dept. needs to do something. Contests. Prizes. Banner ads on the site for the businesses of those who are bringing excitement. Some sort of incentive. Something! In any case, I sound like a broken record but thanks for the votes, comments and your vitality and energy."Duncan Campbell (businessavante) Appreciation Day on BizSugar: Happy Anniversary Mister Moderator!
"Duncan, I'm no guru, but one suggestion I would pass along to the powers that be is: There are tons of really active people who have just disappeared in the past few months. Maybe follow-up emails saying something like "We miss your presence at BizSugar. You were an active part of the community and you are missed. We would like to welcome you back..." Maybe even an inquiry into why they left. These are people who were regular posters, commenters and voters. Many were very successful in getting to the Hot Topics page on a regular basis. Where are they? Why did they leave? Maybe with your enthusiasm and industry you should just start your own site, "BizDuncan" :) Just thoughts..."Duncan Campbell (businessavante) Appreciation Day on BizSugar: Happy Anniversary Mister Moderator!
"I would also put, if I were in charge, an automatic pop-up when people come to post that says "You have 3 new comments" and put a little default thing whereby they can't post a new topic until they answer the comments. Even if it is a simple "Thanks for reading." It gets a little depressing leaving comments that go unanswered, especially when they are longer comments with feedback and critique."Subscribe

""I kick puppies, give wrong directions to blind people and would sell my mother to pirates if the price was right!" You are SO weird! Were you like this when I met you? Your other Half"
