I joined this forum for the quality of posts it had. Oflate i have noticed that the people who posted quality have vanished or are not posting. Is it just me who is observing this or is it a routine that we must expect from this site. We are talking about site promotion, i think the need of the hour is Site retention. Members help keep name alive. I suggest we send an email to all members to take part actively in posting and yes, help AINET a better and quality forum. If Indians are making India proud, why should Airliners-India.Net not give it's best shot for her motherland Back to top AKLDELNonstop Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 1066 Location: Auckland Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 4:21 pm    Post subject: Members having a go at each other taking its toll.

Is it just me who is observing this or is it a routine that we must expect from this site. Unfortunately ups and downs are a part of any internet based forum without a large pool of active participants. We have a very small pool of participants, and hardly anyone working in the industry (leaving aside a few people). Hence it becomes even more tough to sustain and increase the momentum. I don't think sending an email to anyone asking them to "participate" is going to help at all. In situations like this my thought is always "ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for the country". It's really up to each one of us to add to the discussions on the forum to make them more meaningful. It's also important to have people from the industry join and participate, as they can bring the best material to the forum.

I thank everyone who responded with neck deep in glee and honour for their commitment to retain the members and yes to make sure India does it's part for aviation. @ Nimish I think if we try and send an email (which i think could be automated) to be sent to all members, that their posts matter, we could have various ideas in the pool. Let us do our bit....what say Back to top Aseem Member Joined: 15 Dec 2006 Posts: 2841 Location: YYZ Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 9:57 pm    Post subject: Birendra wrote: @ Nimish I think if we try and send an email (which i think could be automated) to be sent to all members, that their posts matter, we could have various ideas in the pool.

Very True.Especially after working 5 nights/week its tough.Im lucky that I have my study notes on CDrom so while studying I tend to visit a few sites.But I agree it can get very hectic at times. regds MEL _________________ Think of the Brighter side !!!

Thanks for trying. But if we get it done or do it, then a message will be sent across that AINET i not just another aviation site, but one with a difference. Remember, no pain no gain.

Plan to delete those who don't respond. _________________ [url=http://openflights.org/user/aseemsjohri] [/url] Back to top iflytb20 Member Joined: 27 Jan 2007 Posts: 1079 Location: Next to the Airport Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 1:15 am    Post subject: @ aseem er...i dont check my email often..does dat mean i might be kicked out Back to top Aseem Member Joined: 15 Dec 2006 Posts: 2841 Location: YYZ Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 1:23 am    Post subject: iflytb20 wrote: @ aseem er...i dont check my email often..does dat mean i might be kicked out I am referring to those who haven't posted even once on this forum. Not sure if they exist or not. And if they do then whether they got confirming email or not. I recently sent email to four such persons, and three of them hadn't recieved it and were under impression that their membership was not approved.... _________________ [url=http://openflights.org/user/aseemsjohri] [/url] Back to top HAWK21M Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 8132 Location: Mumbai, INDIA Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 11:40 am    Post subject: Aseem wrote: iflytb20 wrote: @ aseem er...i dont check my email often..does dat mean i might be kicked out I recently sent email to four such persons, and three of them hadn't recieved it and were under impression that their membership was not approved....

If u take the effort to reach out to genuine members, members will reciprocate. I salutee your efforts. @ One cannot just be either arrogant, prejudiced, think what he/she feels is right and rule the roost. Not just in any industry.......and we are in aviation where hospitality rules paramount.
