[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 8347, member: 7"] Okay, I can see your logic now, and I have a few questions: Is this similar to "[URL='https://intosanctuary.com/index.php?threads/on-wave-registration.348/']wave based recruiting[/URL]"? If so, how do you answer to the objections raised back then? How likely do you think it is that a user will forget about the site during the read-only period, and then end up never joining and posting when the site is finally re-opened? Isn't this a negative that only exists if you close down the site? Why risk this detriment? Why is this option better than keeping the site open. I only see negatives and I don't see any positives. You'll need to sell this to me. I'm not understanding why you think this is a good idea. Communicate that. In the meantime, let me try to understand some more: Do you think this site is dead? Do you think that a new user joining the site, today, won't have anyone to talk to? Because if so, that would explain why you would think that this is a good idea. But, IMO, that's not the case. There's plenty of people here every day that can engage with a new user.

Nah, paid advertisements was my only idea. [/QUOTE]
