Any tips for bringing in members?

I hope you don't expect a "well done" from us. :shake:

So what's next, I guess?

 

[Lee Lawson]

Promote.

 

[Luigi1632]

Fine, I'll try to promote.

 

[Luigi1632]

Now I have guy that has made a couple of music album reviews..and they are long, so things should be interesting..

Now I'll promote as much as possible and then I guess, wait and see what happens..

 

[GamerPerfection]

Fine, I'll try to promote.

Oh man the enthusiasm is killing me! :shrug:

How's the promoting going?

 

[Luigi1632]

Still working on it, I'll promote at all the site, Ragin' Junkie mentioned, but no luck so far..

 

[Lee Lawson]

Yes same here Clarkey, let it kick in, advertise on the top sites, ForuMotion, top sites/lists, ask for add space, affiliate do everything possible.

and if that doesn't work?

 

[GamerPerfection]

and if that doesn't work?

Oh man your site will never be a success if you think like that. Just think of the positives not negatives.

Although i honestly think you'd be better off waiting a few years before trying because you're only 15 and you don't seem to have any patience, confidence, enthusiasm, or any innovation.

 

[Luigi1632]

Well I'll try my best

if it doesn't succeed, I'll keep trying, you can't make me stop trying.

 

[GamerPerfection]

I'm not trying to make you stop. 😕

 

[Luigi1632]

I wasn't talking to you.

I was talking to the world..

This kind of stuff must take determination ..

What was it that Winston Churchhill said?

"Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential."

Even if I reach 1000 posts on my forum or even 10,000 posts and people don't join, I'm going to keep trying.

 

[Luigi1632]

Now I guess advertising and improving is the best I can do..

 

[Lee Lawson]

Yes, that is the thing we have tried to get around you.

 

[Luigi1632]

Well I might as well work on the layout, got a review about it saying the layout needs work... 😛

 

[GamerPerfection]

Fine,that one guy agreed..

It's now one admin(me) and two moderators.

And back to 2 Admins again.... man what's the point if you don't listen. :shrug:

 

[Luigi1632]

He gave me a "three-strike" system

As long as you don't suck as and admin. But if you make three mistakes, I'm out of here.

I'm prone to making mistakes and I made him an admin, so I wouldn't lose him.

If I go with your tips, and try to improve and tell them I'm the owner and creator of the board and I'm the one who makes change, they are just going to leave and be like "Fuck you" and bam.I would lose my other two active members, it would just be me who would the only active member, my forum would fail.. end of story.

I told him this in a PM

Those guys at forumpromotion need to learn, a starter forum can have two admins, now can it?

He said this:

It certainly can, but that doesn't mean they're inexperienced.

and if I make changes to the forum(like adding those different gaming discussion boards.), he's just going to be pissed off..

and plus at one time when I told him, that when I made changes and added "Console Discussion" stuff, he was like "Let's keep it all in Gaming Discussion, it's better to have one gaming board rather than three inactive boards."
