I dont know if everyone else does this but I think it could make a huge difference if everyone did. I look through the recently joined list of new members on a daily basis and if I see one who lives in a city I own or even near a city I own then I will click to add them as a friend and leave a comment welcoming them to Weblo and reminding them to get their free celeb. For example if I see someone joined from a city in the UK I will leave a comment saying "Welcome to Weblo from the mayor of London" since london is nearby even if they dont live in that actual city. This will increase your chances of your member becoming active. They also will usually check out your profile and then they might see how other people have acquired a lot of assets and it might make them want to do the same. It also lets them know about this forum since I have a link to it on my profile.
