    This is a great design and effort, but I think you are missing the spirit of the campaign. You're fighting fire with fire. It's like fighting the drug problem by selling drugs. I wouldn't send an email and ask people to stop forwarding and then ask them to forward your email, isn't that what you are trying to stop?

    The design is pretty good, very simple and clean. However it isn't very engaging for an email. An email needs grip people within the 2 seconds of looking at it, this doesn't do that for me. I probably would delete it before knowing what it really was.

      I thought about this for a while and that's why the site includes a function to stop people being sent the same email twice. Of course this doesn't stop people forwarding the email to others. Its a rather hard dilemma.

      Do you have any thoughts on how to improve this system? I would greatly appreciated any ideas.

      What about just removing the email function and just telling people about the website?

      Yeah, i would say that would work. Just don't focus on forwarding the email...
