So as you may have seen, I created two threads on the other forum. One got locked for not being constructive and one just got straight up deleted.

At the moment we only have guys from the XBCC.

What's the best way for us to go about bringing in more members from the wider forum?

The way I see it we have a few options.

If all of us message the people we talk to on the other sections of the forum then word of mouth will spread especially if we ask them to them spread the word to people they talk to?

The other way is for a couple of us to post a thread in other sections that we have posted in asking for people's views on the forum currently and then message people who hate the state of the forums.

The most sure fire way of getting a ban would be for me to just create a thread that flat out tells people about the forum.

What do you guys think?

I have been considering ways that I can build the base of the forum,

I think I'm going to risk a ban on the other forum and just make a post this evening advertising the forum.

So OrangeEffect has just confirmed he wouldnt have any issue with me posting a message about the forum that isnt insulting towards EA or anything but that he cant guarentee my safety from the EA Folks.

Is it worth it the risk?

Does anyone have an account on Reddit?

Might be worth posting the link to this place a couple of times on there.

Don't have an account myself.

And on that note some power hungry mod just went through the EA Forum and deleted every single threads about this forum.

And I didn't even get a PM explaining why.

Might just re post the thread in the XBCC as I don't see how they can delete a thread that was respectful and was several pages long with just general conversation.

Apparently they kept one at the Offtopic lounge, but closed it. :angrystare:

Yeah someone else could take over the mantel and make a post regarding it.

I have found out that someone took the time to go and report every single thread.

And every single post I made in those threads too. So clearly only got done because whoever reported them doesn't like me as a forumer. Nothing to do with the forum itself.

Clearly people want somewhere else otherwise 43 people wouldn't of joined.

If you post any threads about the forum and offer a link to people then all I would say is make the thread respectful. That's how mine were allowed to stay open until they were reported.

They arent all bad.

Currently in discussions with EA_Andy and he is allowing me to repost the topic into XBCC.

He wants to close it straight away though but I'm just discussing whether or not he will allow it to stay open and let it garner some views and then as the thread dies naturally it will be left.

If he agrees DONT LET THE THREAD DIE! haha. But also dont bump unnecessarily.

Worse than EA.

The thread is back up in the XBCC now guys.

Lets keep the thread alive without unneccesary bumping or making it too obvious.

EA Andy was nice enough to allow me to reopen it in one section.

Surely it's Frankberry. Pickford said a while back that most of the threads/posts that get reported were by him :XD:
