We need more "niche" groups to come join the Spring and start conferences
like drool, austen, bronte, etc. What other niche groups are out there
that we could invite to join us? And how can we contact them?

How about a Furtw�ngler conference? It would certainly make for a bit of controversy. Apparently there is a huge Japanese community of Furtw�ngler fans. But I don't have a clue where to find them.

Or how about a 20th century History conference? There are alot of World War 1 and 2 freaks out there - me included - and alot of other mega interesting things happened in this century. It is what most historians specialize in. And it should be fairly uncomplicated to find people to take part.

Please, Riette, no! You don't want this place rushed with militaria fanatics, and the like, do you?
Expanding through Historic Epochs generally sounds good, though. Until now, the only thing available is for middle age, right?
How about recruiting more artists? Everybody could be lured by the chance to get their stuff posted without trouble, and get their own topic in an Artists conference?

I understand the need for a Furtw�ngler conference...or topic, anyway. I have just about all of his recordings...with the Amsterdam Concertgebow ...
We need to patronize the conferences we have now. Go in and read the new posts and see what interests you. I try to get all over the place (yes, I know...and bore everybody in the process)...and some have just poked noses into Geo and have not entered the Volcano topic or the gems ones...all are interesting, but are they that off-putting? I should nave named them EARTHQUAKE!!!! and ERUPTION!!!! rather than seismology and vulcanism...oh well! (climbing down off my soap box...)

Riette and Alexander as hosts, right?

All history sounds great to me, Conf Admin. I'm interested in all history, and it will be cool to look at it at every possible angle - whether that be art, music, philosophy or militia (which DO6ES play a big role in history, whether we like that or not) from the particular period. I'd love to be host, but my knowledge is pretty much limited to the 20th century, so I'll have to rely on freaks of other periods to help out. Alexander, are you one of those???

I will be delighted to post a lot in there. If I could have figured a way to make a living at it, I would have majored in History - but I did not make a living at what I studied, anyway, so I just took lots of history for my electives.

My knowledge is mostly concentrated on the Middle Ages, (Archaeologically, earlier than that) up through the Reformation. Most especially, Britain.

He's not gonna say Geo, is he? I am a one-woman band in there and trying ever so hard to make a go of it...short of hijacking people to post in there. Very discouraging, but now I am part of SpringArk and working on stuff for History. Please don't delete Geo!

I need help and/or suggestions for attracting people to Geo Conference.
http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/browse/geo/all
What do I need to do besides Shanghai them and chain them to the topics until they give it a chance? It is a neat place. Cool topics like volcano eruptions and jewels and ecology with attendant photos and graphics and weather maps which update automatically - for all parts of the world! I just added two new topics in hope that it might attract some traffic:
Caves and other Subterranean Features http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/Geo/19
