Im extremely happy to see a couple of people on here. Really. I worked on this over the weekend and I just got excited wishing others were here to get it rolling. For a couple of days, I didnt even see anyone in the guest area. It was just me everytime. I kind of dont want to go to the old message boards I was on and troll there for them to come here. Although, let me say I am extremely glad my buddy azbatx is here!!!
After a day or so, I tried figuring ways I could get people on here. So I went to the proboards forum (the maker of this software) and posted a "check out my board" thread. Let me say, that website was HUGE!!! So, it only took like 20 minutes before my thread went from the top to the bottom and was gone.
For a couple of hours, I seen a few "guests" on my board for the 1st time. I was glad just to see that! But after a few hours, they stopped showing up (because my thread disappeared off the 1st page, I suppose I could have bumped it, but I think that would have been bad form). Anyway, I went to bed that night thinking all the guest were pretty much done.
Got up the next morning and Underdog was here and had joined! Thanks Underdog for taking a chance on supporting my board. I appreciate you coming and your input.
Now, I just wonder how to get a few more here. I actually dont need a lot more. A handful or regulars to me would be just fine to start off with. Just enough of a crowd to have daily banter with. But like I said, I dont want to troll my old stomping grounds and I dont think I want to keep post bumping over on pro boards.
Anybody have any ideas how I can slowly grow this board?

There is this Forum affiliatesrus.proboards84.com/index.cgi Which is an banner exchance forum they will also make an mini banner for you if you don't have one which means you will need to get an affiliate table, because you can exchance mini banners with all members there.

That sounds cool. I dont know exactly what an affiliate table is. I would love to have a banner. And, I would love to have a core group of posters around here. 5-10 to start with and grow would be great! And then, hopefully a gradual size increase. I appreciate you and az being here so far. But Im sure to keep even you guys interested, there has to be a few more here posting to keep it fresh.

True about having more people here to keep it fresh, but i believe that will happen in time. An affiliate table can go at the buttom or at the top of your forum, and it where you will put in the images of the other forums mini banner, i can help you in that when and if you are ready.

I think banner swaps are over rated. It was a big way for amateurs to get visitors in the late 90's, but I think most web surfers see it for exactly what it is and ignore them.
There is no better way for a poster to get hits than putting a link back here in your sig file when you post on other messageboards. Short of buying ads, it takes word of mouth on top of unique and/or interesting content to bring people here.
