Lightbulb Strictly THF?

Many of you will have noticed that when we have a freeroll at this site, ( the ones at ps mainly) There tend to be hundreds of poeple joining them but there are never hundreds of poeple on the forums? People are taking advantage of being able to click the link, come to the site, make an account and take a shot at some free cash.

So my sugestion is this: Next time there is a freeroll, why not post the freeroll but do not mention That is is for texasholdemforums, That way it will keep the freeroll strictly for membershat visit the forum, and not people who join just to mooch the money.

What do ya think?

very good suggestion - this is something im gonna do in future freerolls

however - it must be noted that whilst freerolls are designed to reward members, since currently the site isnt making any money (well ive made a little comission here and there and once im paid next month it ill use it for more freerolls) the main purpose is to attract members to the site

yeah, you have to have that link I think....it may bring lots of unwanted members but it you can get a percentage of them to stay and become good, contributing members, it would be worth it......its just like sales.....its a numbers game....the more people you can introduce your product too, the more you are going to sell....I think it is a neccessary evil.

Yeah these are all great ideas to kick out the cheap people who only want the tournys... Also was thinking of only posting the tournament and hour or two before it starts. I think someone said that, but the problem is the people that are regular and didn't get on to see it. Going on, good idea Stoke. Works well.... Just lost it, oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask. Is there going to be a freeroll for the members that are on every day? I think I asked it but I'm not positive if I did or not.

there will be at one time - but the site needs to start making money. Once the site makes some sort of regular income im gonna try and set up a regular freeroll for members only
