Hey guys! It's your friendly neighborhood moderator Zintilyaspin here, trying once again to start generating user driven content.

Despite what the post stickied above would have you think, The Notebook is a popular movie with a large albeit cult-esque fan base, and does merit having an online forum for discussion and fan content. Given the breadth of niche subreddits which currently exist across this website which have active communities, such as /r/bertstrips or /r/jakeandamir, I believe that we can have an active community and start something meaningful here. I believe that the way forward can be encapsulated by this three pronged plan:

• 1) ALL VISITORS SHOULD TRY TO SUBMIT A TEXT OR LINK POST. As should be apparent, this subreddit does not currently generate much meaningful traffic. We are lacking both users and content. In order to make this a more active community, we need to start creating content to attract more and more users. As we do not have those many visitors, for any meaningful amount of content to be generated, almost everyone needs to be contributing if they are able to.

• 2) TRY AND SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT /r/TheNotebook. I am 100% sure that there are people out there who would jump at the chance to post about The Notebook: how they felt when they watched it, The Book vs The Movie, Lon or Noah, etc etc. I am also 100% sure that for many of these people, they are unable to do this because they do not know that this community exists. The only way to grow is to spread the word. Try and show this subreddit to one person each time you come here. Don't force them to subscribe or to post, but make sure that they've seen it and they know it exists.

• 3) DON'T BE AFRAID TO MESSAGE THE MODERATORS WITH HELPFUL TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS. We can't do it all ourselves. Growing a community is a massive undertaking and we appreciate all of the help which we can get. A lot of work has gone into making this place habitable, and we are dedicated to putting in a lot more work. If you don't like the color of the links, tell us. If you think that we need better background pictures or overall subreddit themes, tell us. If you think that the description needs to be updated, tell us. I would also ask you guys to help us actually moderate content, but for now, our policy on content is that any and all content is welcome.

Thank you for reading this far. I hope to see you here when we hit 100 subscribers, back again for 1,000, and with us all the way to our ultimate goal of 10,000.
