Tell people about it, tell them to tell other people etc. Advertising via the host site is generally expensive sometimes, so its better to just try to gather members by other means

Posts and signatures that advertise other websites and other flagrant advertising are not permitted. Links to external sites are allowed when they relate to a discussion, in your signature, the website section of your profile, and the Affiliate Member Sites and Links forum (with affiliate guidelines followed).

If you follow this rule set by the admins of vt, you should be able to put a link somewhere on here, such as your profile. If it would help i would be happy to join and try to get you some publicity

Ads work. Or word of mouth/IM's go a far way too

Time. And spreading it about too sometimes work. Tell a friend, and ask them to tell their friends etc. You can also in some cases place a link in VT (on your profile) etc. :)

the best thing to do is to advertise it to professional over other gaming forms make it sound fresh and interesting.

then the members should flood but you also have to keep the site mantanied you need to find the right people to halp run the site.

do all this and you might just make a half decent fourm good luck!

Tell your real life friends to join. Have their friends join. If you have friends on xbox live or PSN get them to join.

Just registered. A couple suggestions: maybe move the login area to the top, a lot of people won't look at the bottom for it. And in the login in boxes, the font color is the same as the box color, so you can't see what you're typing.

Not yet - I may have added forums, but the rules are not yet set.

The login area is on Top - The font color is white and the box is black, that is if you click in the box and then you type; in the beginning it is yellow, but will revert to mono-color if you click it.

If you're going to advertise here you have to link back from your site to VT.

You could also advertise it in a video and upload it to youtube. you could make a fan page on facebook and get fans. you could of course post it on myspace and facebook and bebo and all those.

I'm not the best at creating Videos.
I've put it on Facebook but no-one's taken notice :(
And none of my friends use bebo now so that would be pointless (N)

Also, find a gaming blog and contact them. People who own blogs are actually really nice people.

Until you agree on my deletion on those PS3 - and Xbox360 stand alone forums and make them tighter by making them a one category.

And teh retro forum... you have done a terrible thing ;) Nah just kidding lol :P

Make them into one separate category.

For starters, don't create forums on farms, especially Forumotion. Find a script you like, download it, install it on whatever server you want to use. It gives you much more control and stops you looking like a legal skiddie. Props on the warez, though, but I could get much more elsewhere.

My little bit to add, the blue title colour of mods, is hard to read on the black background.

You arent very open. "Sport Games" "Racing Games" "Other Games". Dude, I hate Sport and Racing games, I dont want to put Adventure, RPG, Shooting, Simulation and Card games in "Other". Not joining until you work a on it a bit more. Sorry.

There's warez on the site?

If there is then this thread and links will have to be deleted for violating one of our rules.

No there's not Warez.
All the stuff on my forum has been from trusted sites and trusted uploaders!

Will anyone be signing up to this?

Sorry to bump this but can people please sign up to it.
