Big Boards

Post by Vain »

Yes, I know I harp on about this but it's for good measure :) My theory is that once a critical mass has been achieved, more and more erstwhile fans of SRD will be made aware that there is a Final Chronicles and that will in itself boost sales etc - and we may actually create new fans :)

I have read the gradual Interview on SRD's site and I don't think he quite gets the power of the net just yet (may lightning not strike me for saying that)...but the real power in the net lies in social networking and increasing awareness. All credit to SRD for actually having a site and a GI, and not neglecting it - and I'm aware that he's an author first and foremost so this net stuff may seem alien :)

However, back to my point. If I take the site www.big-boards.com as a reference, KW (it isn't listed) would be the 2025th largest forum on the net (by number of posts). There are over 18 million phpBB forums out there (and probably as many other forums using different software) so we're not doing too badly :)

However, it's still my aim to drive even more people to this neck of the woods and will be working on a strategy to do that during the year. You can help if you have blogs, myspace etc etc by linking to KW from your pages (it helps with the google;))

Or am I just on some lone crusade here and I'm raving?

2025th out of 18 000 000? That's pretty damn good. :D

I think it really helped us when we got linked to SRDs official site, too.

I know, I've brought people to the watch for unrelated SRD reasons, only to have them start the series and love it.

I'm doing my part for the cause! :D

I added a community on livejournal. No idea if it will help at all but it certainly can't hurt:
community.livejournal.com/kevins_watch/profile

(if anyone wants to add any keywords/links/posts etc I have overlooked just let me know)

I've got a livejournal, and I'll join the community so it'll show in my list. :)

I also belong to a couple of other fora (gasp!), and where possible I'll link to us. I now have a vested interest in seeing this place grow. ;)

Viagra....now there's a TCTC character name that would have been funny ;)

Thanks for the links guys. I will be donating 100 of whatever KW currency you desire for every site you post KW links on...you just have to pm me with the details and let me know what you want.

i think it's also relevant to note that if you do reviews of SRD's books on Amazon, you can supply links :)

Hey ! I'm gonna pimp this ride as much as possible :)

You might want to post some entries that are excerpts from good threads (as in maybe interesting parts of discussions) and then put links in to follow if people want to see more about it.
