bots and drama

i forgot trolls

**gaffg** · 04-28-2010, 05:23 AM

I was expecting a few jokes like that but at the same time I wonder if bots/drama/trolls is the way to go. I have seen some forums burn out trying to use this method.

fletch may have been kidding, but he's actually right

We grew to 1,000's overnight with giveaways of VISA cards.

yes, half joke half truths.

I think contests are a good way to jumpstart a forum.

a bunch of users , multiple posts daily with all registered accounts. Paid posts may be a good solution and after a while expect some human registered users

oh I get it, this must be you:

The Whiner - Senseless non-stop fucking whining and complaining like a sour little girl. Have us moan and weep at the most trivial things and irritate the hell out of everyone on the board. Despite this pest of a personality, it can be quite rewarding.

**gaffg** · 04-28-2010, 06:47 AM

depends on the price. the forum I'm helping to grow is of course in the gambling industry. I think they will have someone working for the forum for a few hours per day so that should be a good start.
