[NEW THING] Clubs

[Yoda]

Bump!

It's been just over a year in this little experiment. Have we learned anything? Does it work/not work? Are there things we should ditch, change, or add?

I can probably anticipate some of the general reactions, but wanted to get feedback on this. No need to hold back, this was/is always a "let's just see what happens" kind of project, so any constructive criticism is welcome.

I ended up falling back on the Verhoeven club and letting it sit for a while.
Tried to get a monthly thing going, and a couple of the threads had very little replies or people taking part in the discussions.


Clubs only really work when there's people taking part, and sadly people tend not to join in most of the time.
Might be the choice of director though.

The problem is many don't know about them or use them. I'd say they are in need of some PR to help promote them. Maybe something that creates a buzz and makes members want to use them.

I like the addition and the viewings we did went okay. It is very hard to get very many people to participate in viewing and discussions as a group. If they aren't much work I say keep them. If they take much time and energy it could probably be spent elsewhere.

I like the idea of clubs but I think if it were promoted more, it would get more use on the site

[rauldc14]

I like them and I liked the Hitchcock viewings that we did for that club.

Good stuff, thanks guys. Will try to respond more soon.

And keep the feedback coming, if anyone else has any thoughts (even if they're just echoing the ones already posted).

I pretty much exactly agree with Sean then. They are a really good idea, but it can be hard getting things going and if they are too much work then it could be better spent elsewhere.
