Chris Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Any suggestions on getting the forums more active over the summer, the site is doing fine but the forums are doing awfully bad and its annoying. I cant really think of anything else to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartboy4 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Maybe open a promotion .. first 200 people who join from now, will get $5000 board money ? I can't really think of anything else . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precision Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Does it cost much to advertise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Maybe instead of getting revenue from google ad sense program, exchange it for advertisments on other sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 Maybe open a promotion .. first 200 people who join from now, will get $5000 board money ? I can't really think of anything else . Well I might do that after we have upgraded to IPB2 and have a new shop. Does it cost much to advertise? Well it depends where you are advertising, and how big the banner is. I've never actually done a proper advertisement anywhere before. Maybe instead of getting revenue from google ad sense program, exchange it for advertisments on other sites you mean replace the google ads with different ones?

Righty Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Instead of you getting money for the google ads, you place ads on other sites with the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartboy4 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 will ads work good ? Hmm , i don't really think so. They get nothing it's only a forum. Just for the moment, encourage people to join from the site . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 yeah im not sure that ads would really work for a forum, however someone could make a 468x60 banner for the forums and I could put it in the random banner rotator on the main site to attract more people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartboy4 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 LOL , how is that gonna attract people ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazychicken17 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 In the same way ads and stuff attract people? Man, I hate the phrase 'lol'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we make a slogan contest, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartboy4 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 A slogan to attract people? Haha, well at least not for me. The forum is now getting quite a few members joining but they aren't posting much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum is now getting quite a few members joining but they aren't posting much. Yeah, the forum is getting a bit more active, but those new members usually just post like 3 posts, and then they never come back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

888ball Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 i think we need a real good hack, like gta arena have got their killing one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 you mean gta area right? yeah well Niklas is amazing at php, he coded it himself I believe. I'm not that good at php yet maybe a 'gang' of members from this forum want to help me with my idea? yeah well what I was thinking, we head over to Invisionize and go to the mod request forum where I will request a mod like GTA Areas killing one, then all you guys will reply to the topic and it will make it look likes in high demand, so one of the good coders will hopefully realise it would be good to make it oh also can you guys all post in the community topics like, 'Word Association Game' and 'What are you listening to right now' to keep them active, they are good community builders remember no spamming though, and no more new games to be posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartboy4 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Yeah good but i'm tired of forums, this forum is like the only forum i'm posting regularly for the past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
