Thread: The DV Group Subconscious Contribution

I've got an idea to get us DVers more DILDs that otherwise would have not happened.

The technique is extremely simple but needs a bunch of people to work. Simply add something along the lines of "you will LD tonight" to your signature. Make it in small print if you want.

The idea is also simple. Signatures for the most part get looked at in a subconscious manner: quickly. If users subconsciously see a lot of "you are dreaming" messages while reading forum posts and slightly ignoring sigs, there is a chance we can collectively pull in more DILDs.

Just a thought.

I like this idea.
Kind of a passive MILD.
Even if a few people just did it to their own sigs it may help them out.
I may try it.
I've been meaning to change my sig anyway.

Great idea! I have a couple more to add:

Change the color or the font to white.

Some other phrases to choose from: You are dreaming. I am dreaming. Am I dreaming? Do a Reality Check. This is a dream.

gonna try

Great, I'm gonna try it.

Doing the same. *nods*

Or even messages to remember to reality check, perhaps...

Great idea! I'm in!

You know, everyone, we might just be able to get this thing going on, with the idea that we add in something about a reality check into our signatures, or at the very least something about dreaming. Just need somemore involvement!

ohhh what a good idea! I've been meaning to change my sig too!

I have added this to the things I am already advertising in my sig. Wonderful idea.

Great! More involvement!

I think I'm going to adopt this little cause and act as coordinator for it, so we can draw in more people to keep a little "You are dreaming"/"RC now" note in their sig, avatar, custom user title, etc. As a coordinator, I'll talk to people about adding a note into their sig and keeping it there for some while if they feel they'll be contributing in discussion threads around the site, as well as talk to the most active of those who are involved to add in an "RC now" bit to their sig - 'cause if everyone adds "RC now", they'll just start ignoring it everytime they see it. I'll try to raise the awareness of this cause and organize how many people will contain an RC reference in their signatures to optimize the effect around the board.

Is everyone alright with me taking coordinator position of this cause?

I think this is a great idea. Im in.

I'm going to go do that right now

I like the idea! gonna go for it.

Nice idea!

I do not have room in my sign, so I might edit the pic
