Here's my idea!

User:CandidToaster/sig Don't mind the glaring typo.

Qzekrom and Shabidoo are concerned right now about system messages and site messages. But there must be a third pillar to solve the first two. If we make a recruitment drive banner, encouraging IPs to register, then we can have new users! All we need to do is to lure them into the trap, give incentives to IPs with basic tasks such as editing articles, writing UnNews reports, voting for VFH, and then we can have a new batch of users! So, how about we arrange a Recruitment Drive with the banner, "Join us! It will be the best thing in your life! Better than Wikipedia's regime!" |Si Plebius Dato' Joe ang Giratina CUN|IC Kill | 09:44, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

mmm... I think you've got the right direction, doing a little bit more recruitment would be a good thing here...--Sycamore (Talk) 09:51, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yay! Another vote from HGA!

On placing a banner up top above the VFH banner providing incentive to IPs to join and contribute

• Major For. Who can say we don't need new members? -- Sir CuteLeonidasOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 00:03, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

How?

How are we going to recruit unregistered users (and encourage newbies to stick around)? First of all, guys, stop threatening to ban people over trivial stuff. Please. -- Sir CuteLeonidasOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 00:18, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Another criticism like that and it's a ban. Anywho, what we really need is a way for people to send us stuff without them having to go register at all. People don't have the patience to try and understand wikis. I've always thought that a simple submission form with an e-mail address would allow for people to send ideas or entire articles without having to worry about how to create links, categorize, add pix, etc. --EMC ^[TALK] 04:32 May 31 2012

Nobody is threatening to ban people over trivial stuff. -- The Zombiebaron 04:51, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah! The admins love you all! Isn't that right, Satan-worshiper Zombiebaron? ^{→ (Der_Führerbunker--Wehrmacht Factories)} 15:26, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

The new and reformed Aimsplode everybody!

EMC your idea is really good. Im all for it.

Im not sure a welcome banner is needed. We can add it to the end of the current site message "What will be tomorrow deatured article? Write it! Or vote for it. You vote matters" and you have both a message to attract users and voters. --ShabiDOO 00:51, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

And of course...it ought to be in banner form ... as well. --ShabiDOO 00:54, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

If you post an installment to your previous post within five minutes, I suggest you absorb it into the last one. But yes, all for EMC's idea. ^{→ (Der_Führerbunker--Wehrmacht Factories)} 14:17, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

REcruitment Drive: The best thing since Hope. |Si Plebius Dato' Joe ang Giratina CUN|IC Kill | 11:21, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

We ought to create Uncyclopedia:Admin Mythbusters: "Administrators on Uncyclopedia aren't as mean or evil as you probably think..." -- Sir CuteLeonidasOnTheRadio [CUN • PBJ'12 • PLS(0) • Stuy'16] 01:48, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

No, they just are unless they take their daily pills and injections. I have mine lined up as I type this message. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 12:15, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Admin Mythbusters? Seriously. We need that template, and I got an idea: Myth: Admins hate PuppyOnTheRadio as much as NXWave. Fact: This myth is really false. |Si Plebius Dato' Joe ang Giratina CUN|IC Kill | 06:57, June 12, 2012 (UTC)
