Getting New Members

killercane · 14-10-2008, 18:29

I made a C3C map for some folks at the other site, and I told them to get a forum over here to hopefully recruit a new face or two. Can Shabba or someone advise them in the CFC thread? http://forums.civfanatics.com/showth...=291538&page=2.

I usually just tell them to contact someone here but if somebody else posts there welcoming new members it might have a better effect.

They could just sign up if they want to. I'd rather not barge in and advertise CDZ openly, Thunderfall is not too keen on it. And rightfully so, it'd be real spam. The thought behind it is appreciated though, we could need new members!

EDIT:

I just saw it's Calis' birthday, if he shows up here today I'll make him a birthday thread

So i thought i'd bump this

Even our older members are now biting the dust so i figure we need some new blood, anyone any ideas??? the only thing i can suggest is expanding the site to other forms of games than civ which people play but even then i dunno.

I don't visit the other site at all anymore is that still active?

What site

We have always branched out into other games, like the total war series and hattrick. But to get that really started we should post more about other games. And then what? People have to find our site first, and with just the forum to see it's not very appealing to sign up. We've talked about the front page, that's something that would increase our visibility.

Well we don't have anything especially different anymore, we used to have tonnes of MP going on and therefore tonnes of spoilers. I get bored of writing mine as i never get to read anyone elses these days! Robi is the only one i can think of that has a regularly updated spoiler.

You are right about that, but perhaps a nice front page will encourage members to update their spoilers more frequently. If not we could just as well revert this forum to a shoutbox.

Besides the spoilers we still have the CDZ cup in all it's glory. And (hopefully) soon the CDZ pitboss with regularly scheduled games and associated featured content?
