Hello Potato. I had thought about that a while ago and brought up an idea to leevigraham. There might be some privacy issues with my idea, but, not sure. I realized that Tiki Central gives you the choice, of whether to be notified if you receive a message or not. So, there are lots of members who (potentially) have several message from friends that they don't know wrote to them. My idea is to turn on notifications to all accounts, and send a message to all registered members to the affect of something like: "Your notifications are now active on your Tiki Central account. I you wish to turn off your notifications, please go to your account to deactivate."

I think it would do a few things, it would be a lot of work for Leevi; It would send a message to all the email accounts, and ping back to admin (Leevi) all the undeliverable emails in the system (more work for Leevi); notify everyone that has an active email that Tiki Central is alive again (if they didn't already know); probably generate a bit of buzz for a while; help people realize that they have some unread messages from friends; and then you could see how many people would write a post, or, get some metrics about how many people checked into their account.

One thing I used to look at is in the top corner was how many people were on TC at the moment. Out of personal interest I was taking a screen shot of that number once or twice a day. I'm not sure if that is of interest to anyone?? Would we want to see if that is something to ask Leevi to look into adding back to the website? Your thought leevigraham.

Also Hamo came up with the idea to do a Tiki Central meetup at Tiki Oasis San Diego a few years back. There was about 20 people (I think), and it was fun to meet some members that I had written to but never met. Not sure if he is going to do another one this year??
