A promo where you can choose the free items!. For example, buy 100 dollars and get free tricks valued up to 15 dollars. (amounts just examples)

Good or bad idea?

Is it possible to send out MASS PMS, and PMs to new comers automatically.

As stated many dont take the time to read the rules when they join.
And many of the old timers and middle aged dont check on the new up-dates to the rules or news.

So when a post is made, like the one by Dave V on bots, http://www.penguinmagic.com/discuss/vie ... p?t=124504 ... is there no way for an admin or head mod to MASS PM this, so it will be read.

And when a new person joins, it might be helpful if the rules and news topic was sent in either a link or all written form, in a PM.

Just an idea.

I will check on this and see if it is something that can be done via PM rather than email, as an email would include all customers of Penguin. And since many customers do not register here on the site, they would probably be not interested in the content of the email.

I know on the Café they have some sort of public announcement PM (for the week that I actually visited the site before I could take the colour scheme no more, I had a couple of PMs, that were evidently sent to everyone, about the manager's sister's health and whether we would be kind enough to pray for her) so I'm sure such a thing has the potential to be done.

The PMs could contain a condensed version of the rules and then link to the official thread if people want clarification, methinks.

How about for $10, but only if you use your 10% discount.

Or maybe a limted-time 20% discount code that you can type in. Or for an order woth $x, an (0.05x + 12.5)% discount, which would encourage spending more: for a $50 order you get a 15% discount, but with a $250 order you get a 25% discount. You could buy 252 card wallets for $187.50. That's, like, only 74 cents a wallet!


I was thinking that!

Yes, exactly...

Thanks for taking an interest fcchief.

Go back to the old video style where a) you got to see the effect unambiguously b) the cameraman doesn't shake about and zoom randomly at the start but most importantly c) no camera cuts! Our spectators won't see camera cuts through the boring bits of our performances, so why should we?

I say we should have an "official" farewell thread for those that are leaving... whether it be permanently or just for a set amount of time.

A contest: Guess the release date of Penguin 2.0

In Two Weeks.


I win!

Something that I think has been discussed earlier in this thread I have just seen today in another forum: a "Thanks" button next to the "Profile" and "PM" buttons at the bottoms of posts. The idea is that if someone provides a particularly helpful response to something, anyone can hit the "Thanks" button and it will raise the poster's "Thanks" count.

That's a really good idea. Of course, some people would probably do something stupid like make another account, and thank themselves a thousand times.

Maybe thanks would be limited to one thank you per user per post.

That could work... you need to talk on the phone to the Admins, you've got some great ideas.
