4KP calendar feedback

[hojediade]

Hey,
I was wondering why 4kp don't have a calendar resuming all the upcoming games as most of forums do and aybe forget about the birthday thing, which is not really useful, IMO.
I tend to think that would be a great way to promote games and for members to be able to plan their games for the full month. I guess that would cost Bob some more hours a month to do it, but it would probably a good invest.
BTW, Bob, i'm member on several forums, as you might know, and 4kp is the only one where there is no mods.
How do you handle this situation is a mystery to me.

Bob does that every month Hojediade.

4kp has a calendar for all the upcoming games.

Now you only can see the birthdays because new season is not uploaded yet, but in previews seasons the games were there, you still can see june in here with all the games of the month.

Also, if you enter in here Tournament Dates & Results - Message Boards
You can see any league dates for the entire season.

And have this too Play Private Online Poker Tournaments & Freerolls - 4kingpoker.com
There you can see dates by week

And also have that green banner with some info of the season in the up right corner (that appear in every page of the forum)


This is the week off from the leagues and games, but i'm sure Bob will fill all calendars and schedules when the time comes.

Hope that helps

How Bob handle the forum by him self? thats a mistery for all

Wanted to wish Bob a nice holidays if he took some.
C ya later.

hi all

yep we do have the calendar (Id missed a couple of dates in the last season) but the new seasons dates will go up as soon as I have them confirmed

I agree that the birthdays thing isnt that helpful (maybe not everyone would agree that its not useful)

the current calendar setup will put up the days game at the bottom of the main forum page - but equally I could get the weeks dates showing if that makes things easier - but the weeks info is on the main tournament page and the weeks dates are also on every page on the green panel top right

on the mods front - I'm not a miracle worker and the last couple of months I dont feel I'm getting to put as much time into the forum and the site as I'd like to - there is a TTD list as long as your arm of things I really need to get sorted for the forum ...

but thats all stuff that isnt easily delagated or done by "mods" - Ive alwas rightly or wrongly felt that all the admin stuff is pretty mundane - however being an active member posting and motivating the forum as I much more useful thing - so I dont want to take good interesting and regular posters away from feeling free to do their thing in the forum and dump a load of admin on them

on that front if there is anything that people think we can do / should do to encourage active members to be more active etc - then shoot me a PM or reply here - I'm all for ancouraging loyal and keen members to stay and get more motivated in the forum (just IMHO giving out a load of admin isnt that inspiring) - but if accolades or recognision or encouragement is needed / or lacking then let me know and I'll fix it

hope that makes sense ;-)

cheers scrawnybob

Thank's for answering Bob.

I didn't mean to hurt with my comments as you're doing a great job all by yourself which is quite an accomplishment itself. Was just wondering as most of the forums i know uses mods.

Anyway don't forget to take some holidays, it's usually good for everybody.
I plan mine with 2 weeks between august and september.
I can't wait.

[Whatsthepassword?]

Yep, well done Bob. I think you do a fine job.

As to getting members to become more active, that's a tough one. The posting prizes are a great way of doing this.

Maybe if you also offered a suggestions prize that would work. A monthly prize for the best suggestion to improve the forum or the best suggestion for a tournament - that kind of thing.

Or a monthly prize for the best strategy post/humorous post/poker advice/etc.

I'll let you know if I think of anything else - but keep up the good work.

Bob,

I guess you can disreguard my PM i sent to you because I enjoy the site and was wondering what was up with the tournies in July! Best of luck and keep up the good work!
