howbout everytime a new member joins we pm them a welcome thingy then we tell them to advertise this to other friends to him/her? good bad idea? besides the more members that join most of them will wanna become vip right? then that would be helpin the community more =P i say its kind of a good bad idea.... someones gonna say thats its a bad idea.... if it works EVERYONES gonna have to help....

i want the sfo community to be a good one not a bad one... so please help if you dont think its a good idea.... just say so i get it a lot...

i guess is good and bad... some people advertize this game on their own lil private website.. some advertize it on marve| forums.. so hey there is some bad in it...

but if they can advertize it to their family friends and neighbors that would be awesome

Well.. forget that. That won't help people settle into the forum, and I believe that is what is more important than getting them to yell out to the world, that there is an online fighting game named SFO.

Instead, why not just set up a forum specifically for introductions and welcoming new members, and old members who came back? The forum itself shouldn't count for posts, however, to disorientate people from just creating random amounts of topics to raise post count, etc. Then you could possibly ask them to advertise, though it would typically be a bad thing, for some *hopefully* obvious reasons.

i think ur idea is much more feasible.....
cos there will b so many new members
but i think that they will settle in by indeed introducing themselves first
there'll prob be not much need for them to tell others abt SFO
cos there r many here already
but let them know the benefits of VIP
and they'll help if they're a true gamer not just donate if they want the perks.............. :D
