What about this?
Hi David.
You have done a remarkable job in providing the liveliest & most interesting gambling message board site on the 'net. I am sure there would be no-one who would not join with me in congratulating you on your achievement.
Re: chat room. If bj21 had one of those 'polling' thingummyjigs, people could submit questions for impromptu surveys, instead of cluttering the board. As to increasing revenue, more people would be inclined, perhaps, to hit a yes or no button than post a reply to a 'survey', as posting repies takes time and sometimes you want to read as much as you can. So you would get more hits. And it would be interesting too. Some surveys I have seen only get 3 or 4 replies. Others 20. But if you have 1000 members... You could even have several polls happening each day. The poll can stay up until say, it has had a certain number of hits (whatever number would be representative of bj21 regulars) the polls might themselves generate posts - like, 'Hey, Cyrus! did you vote yeah or nay for ...' To which of course Cyrus would reply, 'Down Under, you know I nay everything!' But seriously, new comers, surfers, those seeking to know what the live bj community thinks about certain issues can get concise immediate info. You could even have an archive page...more hits...
I could go on, but will wait until or if you think is is a suitable idea.
