Default Reactivating the Inactive

Recently I noticed that although the Forum has over 16,000 members, only about 2,000 members are active. This got me thinking...

What can be done to reactivate the inactives? The moderators could divide them up and assign them to active members for fellowshipping. Or there could be firesides in the chat room focused on the benefits of being active. Any other suggestions?

Maybe a monthly potluck virtual linger longer and a Fellowshipping 101 class offered on Sunday evenings, which usually is the equivalent of talking in the hall durring class right? Oh wait, that's what we do in chat all day anyway.... So maybe Chat should just be retitled.

Default Email Them

Perhaps if permission granted by the member ---a moderator could email them.

After a certain amount of time-they should be dropped-but I would make an effort to re-engage before dropping.

Including your testimony as to the truth of the forum in an email perhaps.

Carol, the picture of you and your husband standing in front of the beautiful red rocks with a blue sky in the background makes me homesick every time I see it! *sniff sniff!

Well.... once we all have our visiting teaching done, or home teaching done... maybe we can spend a little time reactivating the inactive here! LOL!

Yeah, I was going to say I'm planning to start coming to my Ward meetings in January. I told a member of the Bishopbric at a birthday party the same just last week.

He looked hopeful, but I think maybe that's because he's the one in charge of the ward choir...
