I stand by what I said before: Either Spam our link on other forums and say some crazy kid did it and act like we don't know who spammed our link on the other forums or just ask fanfiction.com in pokemon section to link us.

Arcanine October 24th, 2003 4:15 PM

The best way to get the word out about PC is join other sites the put it in your sig.

DragonTrainer October 24th, 2003 4:18 PM

I was thinking that exactly Arcanine.Maybe we could get a bunch of members to go to serebii.net, TPM, and a whole bunch of other site, and advertise in our sigs like crazy!

AZSupraT October 24th, 2003 4:25 PM

If you guys want ill put a link up on Victory Road...

And teNk how can we act like we dont know when all they have to do is look in this topic and read what u just said,lol

TeNk October 24th, 2003 4:25 PM

Huh? Nobody ever looks at sigs... At least, not me. Advertise it on your posts.

I got it in mine on SNF, but you see the trick it if you put it in your sig and dont make a post whats the point in doing it in the first place?
And about the spaming idea, well you see that PE2K member that was here like a week ago, he didnt get any one to join PE2K by spaming all over the place.

Kayleigh October 24th, 2003 4:29 PM

I thought of creating a chain letter, lol. XD I'll send it to every address I can find.

exactly... spamming regardless of the purpose is somewhat unforgivable. Like what i said already in my last post in the locked thread, they will hate PC even more instead...

AZSupraT October 24th, 2003 4:30 PM

Teamsupra.com did that and now are going to court i belive...

Haruka October 24th, 2003 4:32 PM

Spaming is bad... noone wants to see or read spam...

SUPPORT THE ANTI-SPAM ALLIENCE!

Oh and spaming will make every member on that forum hate the forum that member was spaming for.

Yes Haruka we support the anti-spam allience.
I think sigs is the best way.

Another good way is to pm all members of other forums, advertising PC, this way, more members would see the link,a nd ultimately, join our forums, yes, it may tak a while, but if we can pull this off, then we may acquire a large quantity of quality membes.

Yes sending PM's is a very good way to get more members, its rare that some one will turn a PM down (there will be some that will), and if the other forums is about Pokemon then its like "hay thats a Pokemon forum too and its big too".

DragonTrainer October 24th, 2003 6:38 PM

Well, we could get like, about 5 members to pm an entire forum, and that way we could cover a whole bunch of forums.We should start Pm'ing as soon as possible!

Mabe one like TPM where thay have over 10,000 members. Even SNF has over 2,000 members so it would take a very very very long time to PM every member.

Dizzy October 24th, 2003 6:53 PM

Do ya guys need any help? i can help if you want .

DragonTrainer October 24th, 2003 6:58 PM

You have a point there.....Maybe we could just get a lot of members to pm TPM,and others to pm SNF, since TPM has so many members.But only pm top posters, so they can maybe post a lot here, not low posting members, because they may never even get on to read the pm's

But one thing about the high posting members, lets say some one sent you a PM about a forums and your a top poster here on PC you mite join but not long after you are going to go back to your high post count (I dont know if you would or not but im just saying that most members will want to go back to there high post count).

DragonTrainer October 24th, 2003 7:03 PM

Well, that's all I can come up with.Anyone have fresh ideas?We should really start advertising our forum somehow..............

Sturm October 24th, 2003 7:04 PM

I think if PC doesn't allow us to advartise our forums, why do I have to advartise for them??? No offense, but it true. I can't see a reason.
Unless PC allow us to advertise our forums...that's all.
Don't flame.

PC dont allow members to advartise forums in posts or threads, but you can always put a link to it in your sig and send PMs about forums.

DragonTrainer October 24th, 2003 7:10 PM

He's true sturm, if you want to advertise your forums, just pm people, or put a link in big letters that says "Hey, please join my forums!" in your sig

Sturm October 24th, 2003 7:11 PM

Okay, I understand that. I'll PM member of every forums that I have visited.
