I make threads sometimes, and they just... fail. They will get like 5 posts in them, then die. I want more posts! I also want to post more. So here's the deal. You post links to boards and threads YOU want to get attention. If you visit a thread because it was advertised here you must put a "(T)" at the bottom of your post. If somebody posts in a thread/board you are advertising and puts a (T) at the bottom of their post, you are obligated to AT LEAST look at their thread/board. No useless posts. If you just spam useless stuff with (T) markers at the bottom, then people don't have to look at your links. It breaks the obligation. To make it easier for me to add your links to the list of links, post in the following formt: Advertiser: Your name Description: Short summary Link: URL Here is a list of the links people want you to visit! Author: Micro Farad Description: A brief fiction about Faridian history Link: danballforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=microfarad&action=display&thread=149&page=1Advertiser: FoxtrotZero Description: Yes, that is a board. There are various threads. Pick one, pick several, pick them all. They're all very technical, and in most cases, concise, so choose one that floats your boat (and if its boats you're into, I reccomend the Naval Corps). Link: danballforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=foxtrotzeroAdvertiser: Vertigo Description: My stories; read them if you haven't by now. They're based off screenies I take while on PG, and I update every two weeks or so. Link: danballforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=vertigoAdvertiser: Vaconcovat Description: THE SPHERE REPOST Posting again on the NDBF, and i would like come criticism please.... It is a story i have been writing whenever i get bored.... I could write it professionally if i wanted but frankly, i'm too lazy. Link: danballforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=stories&thread=151Advertiser: Elmach Description: Party ! Link: danballforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fgam&action=display&thread=142Description: Hit the Person Above You With A Random Object (HitPayWaro) Link: danballforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fgam&action=display&thread=144Description: Suicide Game Link: danballforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fgam&action=display&thread=147Advertiser: NMagain Description: :3 Link: danballforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=shop&action=display&thread=152&page=1 |

I have to say, this is a great idea. I am largely in favor of this. I will start the ceremonies. danballforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=foxtrotzeroYes, that is a board. There are various threads. Pick one, pick several, pick them all. They're all very technical, and in most cases, concise, so choose one that floats your boat (and if its boats you're into, I reccomend the Naval Corps). |

LOL, Vertigo posted faster than you Fox... I think I'm gonna list out these links in the first post. Just post the link you want to be on the list.
Edit: Vertigo deleted his post? Hmmm

I deleted it. It screwed up my 'first' post and it just linked here.
You can do that if you want, but I reccomend you not bother, just because its hassle.

Maybe you should re-post Vertigo, 'cause I don't know your link...

Thats a very pathetic idea. If threads don't get posts, theyre boring and should die. If you don't have anything to say, don't say anything.
Andy seriously, this is "Important Information :: About the Forum". Do you consider your post count important to the forum? Post stuff like that in the spam board, Thats were it belongs.
By the way, microfarad you had at least 408 posts on the old forums. Go claim that extra posts for the epenis.
I don't think so. We're trying to promote activity on this forum, and your approach doesn't help. Furthermore, if its about the forum, its important, and this is about the forum. Oh, and this is trolling. +10% Warning.

Disabled... Threads die because people don't look at them. I only go to a board if the most recently posted in thread contained within looks interesting, or I have a thread in there I am specially interested in. I want to learn about new threads which may be potentially interesting. By beginning this program, I am attempting to aid people like myself in finding new and interesting threads, by encouraging to make them look at more than just the thread's title. This is an excellent idea in my opinion. And also, this was the most appropriate location I could find for this thread, if you have a better idea you should suggest it politely.

Not interested? Didn't you already join the second?
Anyway, I'll announce it and sticky it, but unannounce it after awhile.

Huh? I was talking of Foxtrot's board. The four under it is my links for the top. 1st: Forum Games: 'Nuff said. 2nd: Party!: 'Nuff said. Had 190 posts. 3rd: HitPayWaro: 109 posts. 4th: Suicide Game: 103 posts. Also, I suggest making the (T) a link, so people understand what you are talking about. (T) |

What happens if people only advertise and don't read any of the other people's threads?

@ Kiwi
Well, it's a loss for them. They wouldn't be putting little (T) things in posts, so they wouldn't be getting attention to their thread. The whole thing works on the honor system anyways. The honor system actually works well in a good community. Where I live, on an island, farm fresh eggs used to go for $4 / 1doz now it's more like $6 / 1doz. In any case, people put coolers with their eggs in them up by the roads they live on. People drive by, put $6 in the cooler, and take a dozen of eggs. And I haven't heard of stealing yet...

Post by Qwerty on Jun 1, 2010 23:23:11 GMT
And why would we care about the price of eggs in China?
Sorry, had to say it.
That is a very trustworthy thing. Anyway, I don't actually post on threads because of this, I post because I see the threads. So, do I really have to add a (T) to every post? Why not just stick it in my sig?

Post by GloveParty on Jun 2, 2010 0:32:17 GMT
I don't like being forced to read (T) posts. I mean, really. And how would you know it was spam?

Post by microfarad on Jun 2, 2010 0:39:27 GMT
If you don't put in the (T) it is your loss. It generates activity on your links, but you don't really need it... I DO NOT LIVE IN CHINA!!!!!!!!!! Have you ever had real eggs? Not those nasty pale things from the store... I mean the real eggs with a hard shell, big eggs with a yoke so colorful it's orange, not yellow... Those eggs, those are real eggs. And they are worth #6. Eggs at the store are punny in comparison. They taste like paper compared to real eggs from chickens that peck bugs out of the grass and walk around in the open air. Chickens that are healthy enough to actually half-fly. And in some cases, actually fly. We had a few chickens that would roost in trees. It's not uncommon among correctly raised chickens. Erm... I'm ranting and off topic... LOL |

Why don't I just place this (T) in my signature? Really, when I post on someone's thread, do I have to include some logo for them to know that I only did it so they would post on mine? Seems kinda low.

You cannot put it in your sig, it would not indicate you were brought to a thread by this program if you did. And it is not low Qwerty, it denotes involvement in this wonderful program, which should be supported.

Post by Qwerty on Jun 2, 2010 13:22:14 GMT
Got it, NMagain.
Anyway, how am I to know whether a thread is part of this thread or not? I think we can scrap the (T). If people post on the thread, it shouldn't matter whether or not they came because of this thread; it is just common courtesy to post on their threads regardless. Otherwise I'd stick a (T) at the bottom of every post I make.
