Promote your board

Sorry about these outages. VPS's really are harder to maintain than shared.

If there's ever an issue in the future, you can use these forums to coordinate.

Sigh. I found a forum called forumpromotion.net. It's specifically designed to advertise your forum. So, no problem, right? It's a great community resource, and on we go.

You can't register unless you're referred by a currently registered member. And there's no way to email or message any member.

Ah, wait. You can register through Google or a couple of other services. And when you go through that...they ask for a referrer again.

So you literally can't promote your site unless someone else who already has their own site promotes you first.

I just checked and it's optional. Just leave it blank.

Hunh. Very strange. That was definitely not the case when I first attempted to sign up, and the not-a-bot verification was different as well. Perhaps something was changed shortly after I tried the first time.

Okay, thanks to @Siguza, I'm now registered over at Forum Promotion, and they seem to be a great bunch of folks. Hopefully there will be some extra traffic sent here (not immediately, though, as I want to learn the ropes there and be a good citizen and not a spammer...I'd like to help others out, too...)

But this one was interesting. One of the sites there was Heretix Forum, which was all about, as they describe it, "exchange of opinions...in a safe environment". So some form of political or debating society, which is fine. I clicked and expected to find such a thing.

Instead I found this. It's a bizarre freeform role-playing site, with a lot of folks in it and some underlying rule structure that I can't pretend to understand. It looks like they were trying for a MUD or a MOO, but used a forum instead. And again, there seem to be a whole bunch of people playing.

I mean, I was once considering something like a MUD for here, but I'm not that great at programming them, and they don't seem to integrate very cleanly with phpBB.

Does anybody consider this interesting enough to try here?
