HELP PLEASE

This is a bit of a odd plea for help and advice but a friend of mine has set up a baby board for mum's and her problem is that she is considering closing the board unless she get some new members.
The ladies on there really want her to keep running it as its a good board to have a gossip and help pregant and new mums, and we can post pics or our little one's on there to show off ;D
We have been trying to come up with new ideas for te board but have run out can anyone on here think of anything new to add to it to draw in some new members.

Thank you

    Ella I had a look, but you have to join just to view the boards :-/ I don't really want to join, my kids are teens now :)

    Maybe that's the problem, having to join before you've even seen if it's any good. I think most sites you can usually view the boards without being a member, only having to join if you want to post. There are quite a lot of baby related message boards, I guess if this one is harder to access it might put people off (especially if you're a busy mum!).

    i've forwarded the address to my sister in law, she says she'll have a look, but like the above have said, it is off putting to have to join first.

    I also took a quick look but I agree with what everyone else is saying about having to join first.My baby is 18 months old so I don't know how much is going to be relevent to me without having to join first.

    had a quick look and it looks good :)

    problem is, I spend so long on this MSE that I don't get chance to look at any other websites ;D
    Just run, run and keep on running!
