With RCI shutting down its RCI Community boards, I wonder if we should post something there inviting those members to this site.

Sounds like a very good idea to me.Originally posted by Carolinian -
Hell yea... also, take note if possible what forums they may have that we don't have so that if they are used to having a few forums that we don't have that we can set things up to make them all feel at home...Comment

Might I suggest a better way to make them feel at home (since RCI Community board is relatively, um, well, Icky)?
Post over there to bring them here, then add a sticky here "For our new RCI Community Members!" to read first - give them the info in one sticky instead of screwing this board up to be like that one. Here's where to go if you're looking for a specific region, here's where to go to look at exchange companies, here's where to go to sell, here's where to talk general travel, etc etc
Hook em up with all the relevant links, suggest they bookmark it. don't forget to give them navigational tips, as the Community was kind primitive and this one is sooooo different. Expect they WILL get lost, offer help before they need it.Comment

While you're at it, tell them that TS4Ms is a *real* community. We don't just use that word to spin a concept for profit.
IMHO, RCI never cared about "community". All they care about is profit and loss statements.

Well, Steve, this is one great idea!
I love thinking that RCI closing out that board can help this one grow....it makes my heart all warm and glowing!Life is short, live it with this awareness.Comment

This does sound like a great idea but my question is. How do you plan on inviting everyone here? I do not think there is a way to get the news posted there about us.Timeshareforums Shirts and Mugs on sale now! http://www.cafepress.com/ts4msComment

Good idea, Steve.

I haven't been on that site in a while, but they used to have message boards. Indeed they even let posts about independent exchange companies stay up on them. It would seem those message boards might be a way to get the word out.Comment

I've just posted onto their 'Tips for Timeshare travellers' forum. To play fair I also included other sites.
As I don't want to be accused of spamming, others may wish to consider posting onto other forums.Comment

Thanks... I would suggest Frank and I are not the people to do this as with the Admin title it really would come accross as spam (and that is what this is...)
Just the same, if they are going to shut uit down, the info needs to get out before they turn the power off so you have no choice but to try to get the message out.Comment

Adding a few resorts in the resorts database is an easy way to get to where you want to be as well...Originally posted by DustijamGood idea, Steve.

After you add 10-resorts to the Resorts Database send me a PM and I will promote you...
You can check in here to see where help is needed as I have been hands off lately as my work is just crazy sometimes... and this is one of those times...
