Poll YSRMB Poll

I am not aware of any current message board serving our pupose - I know of a free hosting server and my friends Sage, UE, Link and Make will have to help me with integrating that with free MB software but the question is would you ignore the board just because I'm the one making it?  (Well, in reverse that is.)

Well, Lisa's already started another one. (It's here if you haven't seen it: http://tsubasachronicleclampfanforums.yuku.com/) So I'm not sure how successful you'd be.

Ah! As I said, if she had set up another one I wasn't aware of it. Thank Wendy! (aware of it)... but that one's totally based off Tsubasa Chronicles, so I guess you'd have to be a hardcore fan of that series in order to want to post there (the original YSRMB wasn't quite so detailed in forum subjects). I think if that board becomes sucessful (it is successful, appaerntly, but I meant member-wise and whatnot - it says there are 8 lol), it will probably be either more selective or a whole different group of people. Though, I'm sure that quite satisfies anyone who's there and hasn't lost touch with anyone in particular that they miss.

Yeah, the problem with that was when the first version of Sosei no Kurayami first opened up it had no particular aim so a few members came back and then it petered out after awhile and no new members joined because it didn't really have any chance of being picked up by the search engines. So towards the end the remaining members discussed making a new board with more of a central theme so hopefully it'd have more life to it.

...It hasn't quite worked yet though X_x despite the fact that it's easy to find within search engines.

Yeah see I didn't see any of those 'cause when I got to the e-amils saying "There has been a reply to this post," I clicked on the link and it was gone.

Yeah, that's been a disappointment...granted, there's things I can do to help it all along, I just haven't gotten around to them. A lot of it requires research and fully optimizing search results so we're on page 1 on as many things as possible. I think something like 90% of people who Google don't bother going past the first page, so it's not entirely helpful if we're on page 2, 3, and 4...

:P You're doing better then I am Lisa; I still haven't figured out to submit for search engine listings in the first place :P. (With the exception of a few sites that will "submit your sites to 100 search engines for you", but they charge for it.)

[mewgirl]

Umm Lisa you vited 'other' but didn't comment? I guess I could take that to mean "I already have my own forum again even if you didn't know it so why post on yours if you made one?"? At least that's my attempted interpretation :P.
