Mass E-Mail

Okay this is probably a stupid idea but the forum is pretty much dead half the time. Would it be possible for one of the admins to mass e-mail all W-E members to try and bring back some of the older members and get the forums active again?

I only ask because i've signed up at a lot of forums myself and most of them send mass e-mails when the forum is quiet and occasionally it works in livening the place up. When i recieve the messages i normally at least visit the board and see how it's going. It'd be nice to have some of the older members back.

Would it be possible to specify the mass e-mail to say, only go out to members with over a 100 posts? There'd be no point in e-mailing thousands of porn hunters but if you just targeted the members with a certain ammount of posts it wouldn't lag the server so much.

I don't have this option on my IPB forum but i'm unsure on what options vB offers. Maybe there's a hack which might allow this.

Well i just had a look at the members list and from 100 posts onwards, there's probably about 300/350 members. If you just sent an e-mail to those members, you'd be contacting the members most likely to return and it wouldn't hurt the server too much.

I know you're aren't stupid. It's just that the forums are slow as it is, and then when people see that everything is gne(besides posts and members), they won't really want to stop by, except for the Women Section people. You shouldn't upgrade until they stop making hacks for 2.3.... That's just a suggestion, though.
