So we're growing steadily.. slowly.. which is great! We've lucked out with a good group of people on here so far!

What are some ideas to open up the flood gates and get people to know about this Glock mega-forum alternative?

The ideas can't cost money cause I don't have any!

hey rob - i know you separated the forum from the classifieds, but now when you on the forum, there is no obvious link to the ads? can you add a link somewhere/somehow? it would be awesome if it could be on the menu bar (Portal, Forum, Blogs etc), and also on the glockifieds menu bar if you can add a button that says Forum....

Thanks

 

[Rob]

Thanks! Done.

 

[ask330]

wow. awesome!

ok... noticed something;

the main area in Glock Forums is still called Glockifieds Main.

I noticed this on the forum page.
Welcome to Glock Forums! This is a discussion forum dedicated to the Glock pistol. You can lots of friendly conversation with plenty of knowledgeable users to answer your questions here.

I think you mean you can have lots of...

So i've noticed some traffic from some other forums/sites - great work guys! Let's see if we can turn it up and get GlockForums.org linked on some more of the Gun sites out there!

you could start a glocks pic thread, and "sticky" it. that way this site will come up when an image search is done on google for glocks. free advertisement right there

Lots of times I forget about the Blogs.

Could you make any new Blog posts show up when you click the "What's New?" link in the menu bar? Just like a regular thread/post...

 

[Don Glock]

Thats a great idea Don.

thank you kind sir. i just posted my pic. it's good to list the name of your glocks too, that helps search engines like google find them

 

[Rob]

Good idea - I think it finds the pics in the albums but it couldn't hurt Plus, everyone likes a good glock pic thread!

 

[bearone2]

have all the stickies at the top of the page.

 

[TheCowboy]

how about an IRC ?
I would be willing to OP it 16/6

 

[Don Glock]

A GSSF subforum would probably be cool. lot's of glock shooters belong to it.

 

[Midnightgallery]

I don't know about you guys but i'm thinking Good Year blimp.

 

[Don Glock]

i think a "Found a Deal" forum would be awesome! i've been on othe forums that had them--good place to post about sales/coupon codes and such

 

[Tailhunter]

I like the idea of a "Hot Deals" section. How about a "button" that brings up threads started by the pusher of the button and also replies to other threads. Will make it easy to keep up with what we wrote and who has responded.

Post ads on Craigslist.co, HAHA, everything else is there. Can't sell guns or anything, but just offer general information. Maybe it would work.

If you click the "Settings" button at the very top of every page, it will bring up all of the threads you have started or posted in that are new. Technically it brings up all your subscribed threads, but by default every thread you start or post in gets subscribed to you.

The "Settings" button (menu item) is usually the first thing I click when I sign on... After I finish reading/posting to those threads, I click the "Whats New?" menu item and read all the new posts that I have not posted in before. That gets me caught up on everything!

Hope that helps...
