A lot of people will just be lurckers for ages before the start to post
give it a little longer and theres always the option of a free froum then it wouldn't cost you any money to keep it up

But I can see where you're coming from. There could be more activity on the forums -- two interactive stories appear to be dead in the water -- and now the appeal for "SWiMmie" nominations hasn't generated much response.
C'mon, people -- SWM is an unpaid "labor of love." Admin doesn't ask for money, or even thanks -- just some evidence that he isn't throwing his efforts away into the cybervoid.
I urge everyone reading this -- especially those who have not yet posted on these forums -- to take just a few moments to do at least one of the following:
* Vote in the poll above. (Even a vote to close the forum will show that someone is reading and responding!)
* Make just one SWiMmie nomination. Got a favorite picture of Mandi? Can you think of an ubergirl-themed story you enjoyed? Tell admin!
* Post a few lines somewhere on the forums. If you can't think of anything "on-topic' to say, introduce yourself on the "Who Are We?" forum. (Judging by the active posters, we're a pretty nice bunch of people, despite the peculiar nature of our fantasy lives!)
* If you've read any of the stories in the StoryBank, pick one and post a few words of feedback -- "Great story, Uberbabefan! Hope you'll write a sequel!" Authors, like site administrators, are glad to know that their efforts are reaching an audience. (Indeed, we're pathetically easy to please in that respect!)
So c'mon, everybody -- clap for Tinkerbell!

In the light of the poor response to the request for nominations for awards, and the lack of posts on these forums lately (depite the number of registered members now being above 500), we are considering pulling the plug on SuperWomenMania.

OK, I understand few responses due to apathy or laziness or just not checking the forums regularly, but WHO is the jackass that voted to close it?? (waves flaming torch in hand)
LF
Just a guess, but --admin, maybe?

Not guilty, guys. I haven't voted yet.

I know I don't have much to say most of the time, and I can't quite finish any of my stories to share, but I still check in regularly, and I'm glad these forums are here. I'd like to see more activity, too, but even a few posts per day on the forums are better than no forums at all!

I admit that philosophically I'm in the "I wish there was just one big forum" school. It used to be DtV, but now there's that somewhat dying venue, plus She Grew this too. I like all of them and, whether I like or not, it seems that each one brings out a slightly different group of readers and writers. none of which I want to let go of.
So, admin, whoever you are, don't pull the plug yet. You're contributing something important to our little community and I plan to contribute back.

P.S. But June 20th isn't much time. Can we extend 1.4 for a couple more weeks?

It's June 3 0th, Mark.
And admin, don't pull the plug. People like me need outlets like this.
(I agree, however, that the lack of nominations is a disgrace. Come on, you lazy ****s!)

As homework, maybe to help generate interest and votes, some of the diehards who have posted here can post/spread the gospel re: the SWIMMies and the forum in general to their "other groups" -- e.g. Transvigor, DTV, XtSt, Shegrew.com, etc.
I know this won't increase the amount of activity (just subs), but at least would give us more ping pong balls in the jar.
C'mon people, get off your arse!! It only takes a few minutes to do and just a cut and paste job!!

Anyway, enough of my whining. Please don't shut the forum, I wouldn't like to lose this site and Ubergirls in the same few months.
Thanks.

I guess I'm partly to blame for not posting as much as I have in the past. I just haven't had time lately due to being on the road alot with my job. Even when I have been home, I'm usually too busy to sit down and read a story for an hour or two.

I've been whittling in a corner since ubergirls went down.
I'm overjoyed to see a new hub form for the genre.
I would have started one m'self soon enough, I think it's such
a good idea.
Much appreciated to the admins for their patronage of this art.
I'm still looking around. I'll post more, I promise! Just give me
a minute to settle in
No worries, I'm reformed. Kinda gentler 'n stuff, honest.

Please don't! Captain Irishman told me of this site a couple of days ago!
BTW Captain...nic pic. :twisted:
thought it summed up me feelings alright (picture =1,000 words and all that)
but seriously lads, the place hasn't been around long enough for word to spread, just cos we assume that all the regulars who visit the same sites we do know about this place doesn't mean that they do
and I know we're askin' for trouble with trolls, spammers and shite if we over-advertise this place but give it a chance
Rome wasn't built in a day, wonder woman wasn't released on dvd for ages and helen slater's equal will be a long time coming
give it time
please
just a little time
please...
we can't expect a quality community of like minded people to suddenly 'pop' out of the ether into a fully formed clique
we can't just drop in an discuss our deepest supergirl fantasies in a heart beat (or confess that mandi steele dressing up as wonder woman knocked our socks off) within the first 5 posts.......we need a wee bit of time :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
