We need new members? How are we going do it?
 

Previously we attracted them via games and "hacks" like with DII. I guess Taco did some advertising too. But really the forum is just off topic nonsense now, which there are much larger forums for, like SomethingAwful. So how do we compete with that? We need ideas to get people to post.

The only thing I can think of right now is telling everyone on your buddy list to join the forum. http://zelaron.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38234

A lot of new members seem to be playing WoW. Create an official Zelaron WoW guild on a new server where people would likely join a guild with an already existing member-base. I'm not going to quit playing on Burning Legion with Volls and all, but all the newer members in the game could go to the Zelaron guild on a new server and that would help attract members.

Of course, this doesn't have to be WoW. This idea could apply to pretty much any game.

So who's going to do it? I don't play WoW, so we would need someone to organize this. And to be honest, I doubt the people here are willing to do it. Not so much the organizing, but leaving their respective servers to play on the new one and be active. People are probably pretty niched into their little WoW worlds by now.

I have an idea, make threads about something that is worth talking about.

Please enlighten us with your vastly superior thread-making capabilities.

Sorry I can't help you there, this is the limitation of my forum knowledge.

i thought of a way to start gaining people to our forum through halo. I dont have the equipment, but somebody, maybe sue or glory, can make a montage and send it to me. I can then post it on many halo realted forumes and say that we chat about it here, with other games like dII. WoW, etc. i can also talk to guys on xbox live that i play with and encourage them to join but these are just ideas righ now.

Set up a D2 spam bot, thats easy.

But the D2 section of this is mostly dead.

If we get members that play d2, they are bound to talk about d2.

Well, are you willing to set up bots then?

Honestly D2 is not a good basis, who the fuck still plays D2. I quit when they deleted my account back with that 1.10 patch.

Although I had stopped playing long before that, killing cows for hours loses its luster rather quickly.

Its now baal's minions/ baal no cows..cows=sux=\

Even still it's boring, I recommend WoW base. Go to the Wow off topic forum and spam this website. Tell them you have hacks over here or something, I'm pretty sure that's how I got hooked back in the d2 days. (Bots 'n all)

Alright, then we've established that bots are a horrible idea.

Here here. If you create a WoW guild I will NOT participate :P. Got a guild on alleria now full of nice people that raids MC and such ;). No use leaving that :p. Good luck with it all though, Graviton bothered me on AIM to talk on here again :p.

One more thing ...stop having threads go bad so quickly. It's pretty annoying :P.

yea ...it's annoying now, I've lost about 20 posts worth of typing due to threads being out of date or whatever. I'm gonna do the honorable samurai thing and disembowel myself now. Goodnight.

BANNED for tripple posting

Grav, interesting subject!

Google indexes approximately 133,000 pages containing the key word "Zelaron", most of which are threads on Zelaron.com. A majority of our visitors find the board via Google and other search engines when a thread's text content matches their search query.

What happens when a board has 436,118 unique posts? Quite a few people who have interests in things mentioned in those unique posts will inevitably visit the forum. In other words, one fool-proof way to get visitors is simply to add new content (make new posts) about interesting subjects, and wait for it to be indexed by search engines (may take 30 days or more on Google). 100 informative posts about World of Warcraft will bring... you got it, visitors interested in World of Warcraft.

The million dollar question is, what is the result of the current Chat Forum - World of Warcraft post ratio of 121863 : 3694?

That's alright because World of Warcraft r0xx0rz your b0xx0rz.

Wow!

You get some strange results just by typing "zelaron" in a google search.

We're mentioned everywhere!

Out of interest, when was the last time Zelaron was in the final 5 for: "Favorite board for vBBotM"?

EDIT:

Awww! They like you Chruser!

EDIT2: O-M-N! http://www.flexbeta.net/main/comment...catid=1&id=386

What actually happened there? I've seen loads of links to things like it when googling "zelaron".

Thanks for saying a lot but accomplishing nothing as usual, Mr. Haag!

Nothing other than an encouragement for people unaware of the search engine thread indexing to post more? Perhaps not. Other ideas are more than welcome as well.

Croozer, do you even care about Zelaron anymore? Or have you moved on to bigger and better things?

lol, I didn't know Zelaron had ATI employees leaking shit to it :P. Keep up the good work ;).

He was fired from ATI a few weeks after the whole incident it seems. And Chruser apparently had a stern talking to. :p

I still haven't a clue about what it was all about. Anyone care to enlighten me? Please?

Not Crusher's fault ...it was that guy's choice :P. Sucks he lost a job over it though. He gained the admiration of thousands of pirates though.

ROFL, what'd he say to you Crusher

hay chruser remember me


i'm that guy you hired to pretend he was gay to add variety to your forums

Omg, it's the chosen one

Now that uShop idea sounds like a lot of fun.

That'd bring in a few more members.

Well, I'm new. Graviton made me sign up. :)

Welcome Mr. Halorin.

i'm so gonna own you at ESF halorin.

This is cool! I like this, we could start a thread and put a bunch of words in it that attract people and then it would show up on google. We could just simply make a thread called "qwerty kiddy sexo sex xxx shaved teen....." But we dont want the whole internet here. Why not just change it to general discussion? We all seem fairly intelagent, rigt? Howabout culture, no thats all gay, um, Im done.

Did you spell "intelagent" that way on purpose? Damn shrooms.

Why does everybody blame drugs, maybe I just have no grammar or spelling skills.
I fucking know I dont know how to spell grammar too.

But you can spell "grammar". You just spelt "grammar" correctly twice.

Grammor is for lewzars. Eh?

Yesh, grammor ish for the lewzars.
