I often say "In 2 or 3 days I'll be adding a new feature.." then explain what it is. And less than a day later they'll have it and they'll be playing with it etc. Makes them happy, so no harm done.

If you are not responsive, your members will not feel valued. A successful community relies on its members feeling wanted and respected. <strong>home decor guy</strong> - What an interesting concept! I guess in a way you are making yourself out to be a superhero. I wish I had thought of it this way before - it could have made a great title for the article!

Basically you are making yourself look like a superhero. "It will take at least 10 hours to manipulate the schmitzle" Then, 15 minutes later "well...I said it would take 10 hours, but I somehow got it done in 15 minutes" "Wow your a superhero!" Very very clever what a clever little tactic… Basically you are making yourself look like a superhero.

“It will take at least 10 hours to manipulate the schmitzle”

Then, 15 minutes later

“well…I said it would take 10 hours, but I somehow got it done in 15 minutes”

“Wow your a superhero!”

Very very clever
