King,

Would you like to incorporate some strategic wording from the team description?  I am asuming that you would like links pointing back to us, plus some other hot spots throughout TSWB?

Introducing Team Starfire World Boinc!
Who are we? We are a newly formed international team of some really long standing distributed computing participants and those new to DC as well.  We have quite a few members that overclock and very open forums moderated by people who want everyone to feel comfortable. You'll find us to be a very friendly lot.  We have an growing IRC server at irc.teamstarfire.net dedicated to BOINC and it's various projects, with the main channel being #team_starfire and more to come.  Team Starfire World BOINC has teams for most BOINC projects and communicating about all BOINC related things is a part of our forums.  Help pages, team stat pages etc. A fine forum for all BOINC projects.  Drop in say hello and hang out whether you join us or not. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

I think, this is the point. If someone joins a team it certeanly has a good reason. Why don't you - I mean old members - ask the new ones why did they join Team Starfire as you did it with me on IRC? Based upon their feedbacks it would be easier to create that catchy ad.

How about an email once a new member joins with some type of questionair/feedback.  Xaak, can this be done with the current board's features?

As for some of our inactives.  This could also spark interest by creating a generic newsletter type message out to those informing of our progress ambitions and current goals.  There must be reason why we have inactives to begin with, and by reaching out to those indivduals helps keep the wheels in motion.

Included could be stuff like a questionair, FAQ's, how can we help, visit our forum, IRC channel and other news related to TSWB.
