To gain more members

Profile · Posted 2002-11-27, 03:10 PM

The forum has been growing in popularity, but we still seem to be under 40 active users during peak hours. Despite several attempts, our active member flow remains approximately the same. However, we have a new idea for a sharp boost in popularity, advertising at www.nuklearpower.com. With tens of thousands of daily active users, it would be a great way to promote the forum. Unfortunately, a month of advertising costs 200 dollars. This is a steep cost for one person (Chruser), but if you would like to donate a few dollars, we could reach the cost fairly readily, and be well on our way to hundreds of active users constantly online.

So, thanks for reading this, and all donations are greatly appreciated.

We tried with something awful. I dislike this idea.

I never click the banners when I go to nuklearpower.com. But it's a cool site none-the-less. Brian is a cool guy too.

We tried with something awful.. brought it 800 or something hits.. not worth it at all... AT ALL.

A better plan would be to sponser players.... Warcraft III that is.

And nuklearpower would bring much more.. the general community there is more likely to visit forums than the people on somethingawful.

It's the home of 8-bit, a fairly popular comic by Brian Clevenger.

Xenn · Posted 2002-11-29, 08:58 PM in reply to Xenn's post "To gain more members"

I don't have paypal... is there any other way to donate...?

If Chruser wanted to give you his address yeah, but the shipping would probably be pretty harsh (that is if he's in Sweden

)

money order?

Xenn · Posted 2002-11-30, 12:16 AM in reply to Xenn's post "To gain more members"

There is no way in hell we should do this. Its a total waste.

Xenn · Posted 2002-11-30, 01:40 AM in reply to Xenn's post "To gain more members"

ya i mean we can do much more with all that money

A HiveMail registration would cost $180, for instance. Very costy, but it can be 100% managed, and fully integrated with the board. In other words, a very fast webmail for all members with no popups and so on.

For what it's worth, we have you guys on our links section at Brawl-Hall. I have no idea if that is generating any traffic for you or not, but our webmaster is a cool guy anyhow.

Ah.. I have a question. I thought in prior discussions, this website want more quality, and more quanity. How can you insure the quality of the people that come from a banner ad? Just curious, I am sure there are other ways, if all you are interested in is sheer numbers...

I dunno... I'm still new here.
