HEre is a questionfor everyone how can we get more members for the zone maybe have a pen pal section for those who want to gain pen pals? Be interested to see how the site is exposing itself to people now how people find out about it? THese are just questions for discussion.

A lot of the Zone's memberships are from word-of-mouth. Sometimes other sites, like mine, link to the zone, so other people can check it out and see what this site is about. I put a suggestion in for a certain number of points for recruiting new members. If the new member enters the ID number of the person who recruited them, the recruiter gets X amount of points. As I understand however, you have to be careful that people aren't duplicating accounts.

I think this has been suggested before, (points for suggesting the site to people), and even thought it'd be implimented at some point, but was probably forgotten about.
And that's certainly true enough about duplicate accounts.

but you can't make a duplicate account, if you try to put in your e-mail again for another account it will say that the e-mail is already in use. so i'm not sure how much of a problem that would be. I mean, how many e-mails do people need, and how many accounts could one person possibly want?

i've got two email addresses, so I could make two accounts, though i won't do so.

but as I said back in post four, why would you need to have two accounts, sure I have two e-mails, but still, sure the e-mail I registered with I can't access anymore, and should really change it.

No one *needs 2 accounts. You'd be surprised how many people try to make them though. Sometimes for an alternate personality, sometimes to try to get around a ban, sometimes for reasons we'll probably never know.

Y would someone need two accounts? That's so stupid, as well as the reasons for having them. As for recruiting new members, what if multiple members recruited u to the zone? Would u type in multiple id numbers, or just pick one? The member or members u type in obviously would have to be in good standing with the zone.

I have a great idea. Maybe if we got rid of some of the ignorant sex mongering people who have no life like black bird, people would certainly stay. It is for this reason why many people dont' join. Don't believe me go listen to his audio profile. Consequently people tend to give those kinds of people 10's on their profile because they are also sick minded freaks who like that stuff. I concur with the whole user ID points thing, however how many of us actually care about the points? it is more for the games than anything. I can't say what exactly what kind of rep the zone is getting but a lot of people like myself found the zone by going to different sitesI forget where I seen it at.

I have 2 email accounts too, but I won't make dupplicate accounts. I also have a link to the zone on my site, though I don't know how many people actualy look at my site, but its their anyway.
