This is a great forum. There's a large and very loyal membership base here. All the projects of WCG are very worthy but the cancer research is very personal to a great many people. I don't think there are many people on this earth whose lives haven't been touched by this illness in one form or another, either directly or indirectly. It kills and it doesn't discriminate by nationality, class, age, whether you're a good guy or an asshole, or any other factors. Imo this is the angle the core members of this team will need to utilize to attract others to join. This work can potentially save the lives of our sisters, brothers, children, etc. The immediate goal of top 100 team is readily reachable in a relatively short period of time if the team can build momentum. With just the group that's here crunching now, the top 200 may be reached in a month or so and can you imagine the excitement of the countdown to 100 after that? I've found that crunching can be highly addictive. I started out with one quad last March and it didn't take long to be completely hooked. It's rather competitive in a friendly sort of way and the larger the team, the more competitive it becomes. So really once someone starts for a few days it sells itself. Hell, I remember when CD started in a few months ago. At first he's like, well, maybe I'll just try this a little. Now look at him. He's an animal, completely out of control. I love it
My point is, there is a solid core group that needs to work to attract other TPU members to the team. Once the goal of having your own sub-forum is reached it should become infinitely easier to do this but for now there is going to need to be some real effort put forth.
