Lack of use.

Chuck and I were commenting on the general lack of use these boards have witnessed over the last few months. Other than the random comment or what not no one seems to be coming here any more. I find it hard to believe that no one has anything to say to anyone on these boards any more lol. I'm proposing a save the O-Zone Boards campaign.

Yes I agree, seeing as how I just joined and it would be sad if it just died soon after! Then again it could be that vindicator I was using today that is silencing the boards...it did manage to pin Eldrad

He wasn't pinned, he was just letting the rest of the army get some action in before he walked over and cleaved the devastator in half.

Isn't just the boards. General lack of interest in the club seems to be apparent also. Just look at the last raffle. Prize seemed considerably smaller than the first one.

haha this is true, he did walk over and kinda tore a new one into the Vindicator. Such a fun game though! You guys host raffles??

We did one same time last year and the winner got around $400 i think, this year the winner got $70.

Oh wow! the raffle sounds like it was great...now it seems to have diminished, how do we get more support for the raffle? Just more people pitching in on it?

It was 1 ticket for $2 or 3 for $5. But there was just a general lack of interest in it this year. I think the lack of interest has been because there hasn't been any unifying event or something to make people come together. Every once in a while someone will do a campaign or something but not everyone is interested or it dies off or something. We had the biggest club support back when we did Lucky 13 a few years back. If we want interest in the club then we need something of that caliber.

I would like to point out that there are a couple things going on. First...there does seem to be a diminished interest in the club. However, we are working on getting it back on track. This is our "slow season" when a lot of folks are off at school. I think I chose a bad month to do a raffle in as well. Our first raffle was in May and the grand prize was almost $400 in store credit. In October, the prize was $70. Overall, people have more going on in October...costumes, parties, candy...whatever. So people can't spend as much. There are a few of us planning club events....there will be a club tournament in December. It will be unlike any tournament you have seen before.

Nice! I have to say I do like seeing things I have never seen before!

But in seriousness I am looking forward to learn more about this tournament! Must prepare and paint!

This is indeed a busy time of year, at least for me. I know I have not been up at the store as much for events but I do go when I can. I also read the boards at least once a day, every day. As far as the raffle goes, I knew about it but wasn't prepared to do this time what I did last. LOL Perhaps when the next raffle comes along things will be different. Now I am curious to see what December will bring as well!!

Don't forget, We're also slated to run Tanksgiving for Mike this year unless things have changed.

That sound pretty cool...and the whole thing....if i drove.....which i have to work on.....i would probebly be their more then i can....heck i have not played warhammer 40k in a while the last time happened to be last week at the mall.....which did not get far and i don't care to play at the mall for warhammer all that much......people their do not seem as friendly as you guys!!!

I can say this has been a busy time for me. Don't forget the holidays are upcoming and that is a busy time as well for everyone. I can say the best way too drive interest is to play more games on game nights. Not playing games shows a lack of interest in games.
