ost_uid0="Roll"]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.[/quote]
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..............
