Title: Site Promotion Plans
Post by: Arnox on July 29, 2014, 03:25:35 am
In a couple days or so, I am planning to select an article here on this site that I deem to be well written and informative for promotion on other sites. The article will be posted elsewhere with a link back to this site at the end of the article. This will be done regularly every week or more for as long as I deem necessary.

I'm thinking about posting them on Reddit to start but am also willing to take suggestions for other sites. You may bring up one article at a time that you think would be good for promotion as well but I already have some articles in mind already. If enough care though, I may allow you all to vote from a weekly selection of articles for promotion.

There's no point promoting it until it's not shit and actually has content, though the argument could be made there will no content without a userbase. In my opinion it could be a slippery slope that the site goes down when you start allowing spam and shitposting under the guise of free speech.

until it's not shit
This forum is more than ready to handle the load and has all the features people need in a forum.

actually has content
I can easily think of three threads right off the bat that would be great for promoting.

Sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don't.  I didn't know the userbase was this small Arnox, but just posting around reddit isn't the answer imo.  I'm sorry to disagree without a solution, I will brainstorm and get back with you.

*sigh* It wasn't before. At all.

This site might have all the features but it needs content. Promoting it would be like promoting an empty box. Right now this site has nothing to turn a guest into a member.

And then people use the "not enough members" argument to avoid posting content. Woo, this is fun.
