what do you think? 75% of the members on there are unhappy with the site, staff and ect....I have talked to about 50 of them and they would be interested in my site very much, now it is up, and I spent the last month tweaking it, is it "wrong" to go pay 10 bucks to get a few houndred members to get the ball rolling?
The staff wont care...

Exactly, if they allow than there is no issues. Moreover, 10 bucks are too little to get this much members
.
yea its a steal... It has 4225 members...most of the advertised sites are getting 1000 views in the first few months.
I submited it and the deal went through, my post hasnt shown up yet, but they moderate the sections posts.
There are 2 big forums on my sites subject, and one is dying do to a sometimes non existant, and power hungry staff, and one the staff is selling out. So....that leaves me.
I was gouna take over one of the forums, the biggest, and we started to do all of the transffering, I told the other admin all my ideas, and he took them and ran with em. haha. well fortunately, he doesnt know php and messed everything up...
but anyway, sorry, I am excited!
I think forums working together to exchange banners or one selling a banner to the other is a great idea, as long as they are not direct competitors but go after a similar crowd.
Folks that like racing also like to build their own cars, so it does not have to be an exact match or direct competitor.
A domain name forum could sell a banner to a web design forum and it would benefit both forums.
We have the same topics, we are pretty much direct competitors...so why would a person register on a board that has 33 members as apposed to a board with 4000+?
Besides the fact that my staff is cool about a lot more issues, and I have more features.
The question is, what are you calling advertising
Is it posting on the board and leaving your signature, because on webmaster forums you see this everyday, where direct competitors post on a more popular webmaster forum.
Hell if they will let you post and leave a signature, I am sure they would also be happy to directly take your money
they dont allow signatures on the site for some reason, the admin doesnt like the look. haha
they have already taken my money.
Do they have Adsense running on the site
If they do that may be another way to get your foot in the door, in fact I like the idea of buying Adwords to get members.
no, the other site does, I may look into that.
