Advertising

A mission statement may help us out, yes.  At least it could provide us some general direction.  Very good, DaGuru.

Any suggestions as to what this should be?  I'm partial to the whole "expression of varying, sometimes unpopular, opinions" bit.

the site has a mission statement the site doesn't have a good representative front in the leadership department AKA the Admin and mods such as yourself again is the point DaGuru brings up you people represent the site and all you do is muddy the message of free speech and not make an environment conducive to discussion

Alright.  So keeping in mind that the mods currently in place are here to stay until Arnox says otherwise, and Arnox himself is not going anywhere, what do you propose we do from here?

This is where we go the mod situation needs to be addressed it can't go from there in all reality

Best bet to increase the membership would be to find a similar site with the same type of member, dox the owner, then profit!

..or would that be unoriginal?

a good start for advertising would be some sort of logo or banner. what's going to be the aesthetic value of this site to an unfamiliar person?

the word "SANCTUARY" in big block letters at the top on an outdated BBS system with a forum skin that made the userbase go blind for a week?

remember how pissed off everyone was at at the incomprehensibility of this forum layout when we first migrated? none of that has changed, we just decided to bear through it because we know of the site's history, nobody else does.

youtube videos that are actually worth watching and produced by a member of this website could pique interest. as could an attractive, ambiguous logo to spread around (think OBEY but less faggotry)

implementing a thanks system could improve the "community" aspect of this forum and make it seem more agreeable. on the downside this would also increase circlejerking

If that doesn't become the banner I'm going to literally beat the shit out of my dad over a cup of coffee and write a hillbilly tweaker saga on it.

Yeah it's "omg offennsivvvve", but it's a testament to our dedication to free speech. Anyone who spends 5 seconds on the website will immediately get the joke or have a hilarious-in-extent-of tardrage.

Yeah it's slightly confusing and esoteric. This will exclude people with IQs of 69 from going "lol yeah i hate niggers n muslims i dunno what the rest said" and then registering.

Well I recieved this post from an anonymous admin who was too scared to question my reign over them on their real account. the obnoxious and contrived use of faggot smilies leads me to assume it's (emphasis on it) Zek.

zek didn't even delete the post describing the merits of my banner, which was three paragraphs long. it just deleted the banners. rendering the post into reference-less nonsense that is three paragraphs long

do tranny IQs get measured against a different mean like the small quantitative difference in male and females that isn't compared to one another, meaning different scoring curves for each gender. i cant imagine something that is neither a man or woman but simply a "thing" to possibly have more than three standard deviations above the mean to be equivalent to a human IQ of 145 but more likely hovering into negative numbers.

You guys do know it is mathematically possible to have an IQ that is a negative number? that never happens because the person would need to be negative 6.3 sigma (it's actually 6.6666666... but i didnt want you to think i'm making a biblical illusion) which would be like a 1 in 90 billion rarity. this may one day occur in future generations, but it definitely has never occurred for stupid people, because so many children are born still to this day unable to live outside of a group home, or are stillborn. there is a floor effect for human intelligence that is already apparent and there may be ceiling effects (before we evolve into our next species....well we're all constantly evolving, but it may go to the point where it would be physically impossible to be any more intelligent because of the taxation on your bodily energy preserves it does. i think someone did the math and hypothesized the 1 in 90 billion brain would literally have to be the size of the moon to operate at that level. but anyway, you could have an IQ of -150 if so many humans weren't brain dead already

See, they bitch about how we don't contribute, then they pull shit like this when we do.  Fuck it, I will shitpost into the sunset up in this motherfucker.

Now please, let's get this thread back on track.  DaGuru if you want to complain some more please take it to the proper forum.  This thread is about advertising the website; it's not about me.

I already said I had INTENDED to leave this thread, you didn't have to ask me to quit posting. But since you decided to pull out your crooked dick and wave it around to provoke me because of your mod status, I will address at least one more point.

ProTip just to Arnox: Yes, that is a form of "provoking".....passive aggressive bullshit spewing "commands" when none were needed at that point. You can drone on and on about "nice" language and "politeness", but its still provoking no matter how sugary the words are. Food for thought.

The only vibe I see equanimity truly giving off is one of kindness and understanding and I didn't know that is a bad precedent.

I just reread the "About This Site"post again, and nowhere do I witness anything about giving a flying fuck about people "being nice" to each other or skipping around dropping flower petals all over the community. I understand when backed into a corner the only positive(?) trait you can describe Zek with is "he is a nice guy"....because in regards to having strong leadership qualities or being able to post significant quality content, he is completely devoid of any of that.

But AGAIN, in the context of advertising and site representation..."being niiiiicccccceeeeeeee" has absolutely nothing to do with the theme or vibe of this website, at least not what you have written in your ATS thread. Zek's perceived "niceness" (in your mind) really is irrelevant to this particular discussion.

And yet the Mary Poppings meme and gif. remain! ELL OH FUCKIN ELL @ the selective moderating going on here.

"No HB idiocy in any of the threads I want to post seriously in, of course unless I want to do it"~~~~Zek/Equanaminity

[splooge gook]

The problem is when mods read posts by somebody smarter than them, they aren't able to decipher it/assume it isn't relevant/don't get the joke, then trash the post.

when the user points out the mod is an idiot who didn't get the joke, you get banned.

thus any messageboard's quality is limited to the amount of abstract information the moderators are able to process. if we have mediocre mods, even if the users are great, we're going to have mediocre forums.
