WHY NOT.

Posted by Cecil hinkson on July 1, 2013 at 9:16am in Uncategorized

We have a membership of a little over 12 thousand here on WST yet less than 1% contribute anything, it's always the same people contributing.  For the site to be better is will take more members stepping out of their comfort zone and posting a video, picture, music, a topic for discussion or whatever.

As members we have a responsibility to one another to see the site remain cutting edge in everything pan, in order to achieve this we would  need participation from more members.

                     Why not post something.

PS. Promoting your activity is not contributing, it's using, that's OK

    A wide variety contributors is what 's needed to make this site PANTASTIC.

    Winston,

    This is a good example of what could happen if you post. I agree with you with members using their real names.

    Stay contributing my Brother.

    Hi Cecil , I agree with you fully I am new to WST , just over a month and I have already contributed 8 videos and by doing this it allowed me to connect to three friends I have not seen for over 40 years , because they saw my videos . Another thing I would like to see members do is to display their real names and not jjust an alias , please post both if you have to use an alias like I do . I post both . This will allow members to connect with you when they see you real name . I am glad I did because it worked for me . Thanks WST if it was' nt for this site I would have probably never made contact with my friends .

      I think it is a trivial pursuit to demand "real names" on this forum. This site is not about connecting with friends -- that is what FACEBOOK is for. This site is about PAN PROMOTION and getting a REAL ADMINISTRATION to run PAN TRINBAGO.

        Claude, We already have Ghost now you advocating for ghost writers or ghost posters, what's the big thing if people know who you are?

          Cecil, it is not an issue with me, name or no name. Its not the messenger but the message that really counts. GOOD CONTENT is what I am after!! 

          • Cecil hinkson > Bertel Gittens July 2, 2013 at 12:44pm

            Bertel,

            Winston connected with 3 friends that he did not see in 40 years, this tells you something.

      • Bertel Gittens > Claude Gonzales July 2, 2013 at 6:56am

        Claude, I dont know about getting a real administration to run Pan Trinbago, but Pan Promotion certainly! A face and a name don't count, what really matters is content. Speak about something over and over and it becomes habit done over time. This is how I see WST. CONTENT is what will change our attitudes towards the Steelpan and the administration of the Steelpan. It is already beginning to happen slooooowly.

        I say again, Pan Trinbago and the way they do their business has become obsolete in my view and every effort should be made to update our attitudes towards the Steelpan industry in every way.This Forum presents the perfect opportunity to do just this. So we continue to talk.
