Drumming up the Support

13
Vote

by user JuTMSY4

Hey Guys:

First of all, I have been on this site for a little while and I am already addicted. I love writing the articles, debating sports cleanly, the rating system and reading others articles. Thank you for making me feel so welcome, this is a lot of fun. My question now is: How do we drum up support and get more users. I've been writing general articles every now and then and posting them on large forums and boards to get people to not only read but comment, which requires joining and hopefully a few stick.

What are other ways you guys suggest we get more people. I will try and help with what I can. Let me know what some of you guys do and perhaps I can add to that...

I think its just word of mouth and content. Tell your friends, tell your family, and the word will get out. The more content we produce the more people who will find the site and the more users will follow.

Continue pounding the usenet sites for sports. I think we had a nice pick-up of users a few weeks ago because of it. Beyond that - try to get this on radio & TV.

Christof, we actually got some radio time in Denver, Cincinnati, and Montreal about the Chunky Soup Curse. One major newspaper has run an article on us. Everyday more people joing and popularity breed popularity, so we just have to keep on pluggin away.

Jutmsy4 - I recently started a thread about this exact same thing. Have a look and let me know what you think. I agree 100% that we need more users. The site already kicks ass...it will only get that much better with more users. http://www.a...r_ArmchairGM?

I can't help it. I'm not smart enough to get the copy and paste right.

I am persuading some of my English friends to take part in the Sunday Quizzes... It could be quite interesting to see who wins the Anglo-American rivalry... (P.S. Do not accuse me of telling them any questions and answers in advance, I want to see who wins fairly).

what we need to go is get the French involved. They will surrender before the first quiz, but at least that is still a victory....right?  :)

You don't sound too confident Christof... It's a shame there are more European countries than North American countries - the European ones tend to play the same sort of sports...
