Hey guys,

I have decided to bring back the advertising forum to help promote new game making sites. Its a sub-forum in the cafe, check it out here: http://www.rmxpunlim.../6-advertising/

I think we should come up with a new name for it.. 'Advertising' is like we're trying to guilt trip the poster or something

[RATED-RKOFRANKLIN]

Is there a minimum amount of posts we need to advertise?

How about: 'Your websites'.

And yes Franklin thanks for reminding me. I set a 5 post limit. I'm kind of against that sort of thing. If a member came here to post a website that members would find useful, I wouldn't be against that at all. But I think there is some sort of filter needed, so for now its at 5 posts.

Advertising to the general public on a website is useful to:

-Gain hits, obviously
-Receive comments, constructive criticism, and general opinions
-Recruit staff members

Telling your buddies may not achieve some of these key factors in building a website worth visiting. Often, the only things your friends could do is to overlook any flaws and join your forum because you're their friend (though it isn't always the case, just from personal experience from my time in the website industry). That is fine, but it does nothing constructive in other important key factors.

EDIT to add an important part in parentheses
