Making our forum known....

There has to be a way to make it so our forum is known....

So far I've:

Advertised on MikeInside HERE

And that's about it....
We need to figure out a way to advertise our forum so that EVERYONE can see it

Any ideas?

hey manda ill post it on my personal msg thng on msn and ill try and get mo ppl on here for you!

thanks..
I'm using an older version of MSN so I can't use a personal message....but on any Windows Live Messenger I all ready have a personal message written out

ok i put that as my personal msg. ill try and get sum of my buddies to join as soon as they get there bootys online lol

Have made a banner....



Click "Quote" if you want to get the code or access it from my photobucket account

Just a quick try, I'll try an perfect a banner later on (if I make the tops and bottom transparent and keep in as a .png it should blend in with the background).

0o0o0 i like both of them..... how do u make those?

I like Scott's a lot more than mine!..lmfao

Better? (Click it for anybody who hasn't figured that out yet.)

scott i clicked it... lol it came here. wow i feel so so weird... lol

I clicked it and it took me to this weird forum

i know rite amanda. it was awesome its a port hole to this awesome forum

It's a time machine that takes us to a forum where we have to click on this banner and it takes us to some forum and so on and so forth

yeah lol its kool tho. hey im trying to get my friend to join here as we speak

EDIT: i made a banner im a stick in my siggy

oh i like it!
its all sparkly!

Again, only a slight tweak... but it's better than nothing. Now it actually looks like the forum colours (check the bars above the sub forums).

I think it looks rad =D

Have you used the Forumotion suggestions about promoting your site with Google etc.?

In the Admin panel somebody or other wrote:

My first steps

Five small steps to manage your forum:
1. Create the categories and the forums.
2. Insert some messages to set the tone of the discussion.
3. Personalize the appearance with your colors and pictures.
4. Invite your friends to post messages.
5. Submit your site to the biggest search engines and directories. For example : evrsoft, submitexpress, google, dmoz

Surprising what it can do for you... seriously, go to Google and just type in simthings (no quotes or anything) - using their promo tools got my forum to 1st Google ranking. Now that's gotta be worth a try?

ooooooo thats good steps.
