Moonglobe

hmmmm this is a tough call between an ad and something else........

if i were a mod i'd let it slide, but i don't know if the ones here will......

stolzyboy

Some mods may let it slide, I however wouldn't, but then again, THIS forum isn't mine to mod.

SO BEWARE, you're post may still get "modded"

Hi guys,

Please please please.....what do you want be to do???

No wait!!!

I'll wrather die a hero!!

BuzzLY

Please don't take this the wrong way... but why create a site that is only for South Africans? I mean, I can understand creating a dance club or a tattoo parlor for South Africans -- since you are in South Africa, that's all that would come to your establishment. But in the web community, we are all connected by the Internet, from all over the world. What is the point of creating a "South Africa only" site?

And do not be surprised if this post doesn't last... ads are not welcome here.

WaQuEe

What im suggeting is that most are built and maintained in the States, UK, Australia, etc.......and mine is only different in the way that its South African....not for South Africans as such

BuzzLY

Ah, ok. Nothin' wrong with promoting your site -- lord knows I'd like to promote my site. But if I were to post a thread that was ONLY about my site, people would get upset about me advertising my site. So, I put links to my site in my signature, and just post a lot.

I really don't know PHP, or care about any of these rubes here. I just post a bunch of drivel so that people will hopefully click on the links in my signature and visit my site. So, stick around, become a member of this site, and put a link to your site in your signature. Trust me, it'll work.

And don't forget to visit my site.

stolzyboy

nice BuzzLY.....

and yes, if you want to promote, don't promote with a full thread, simply like Buzz said, put it in your sig, but keep in mind to have your sig 5 lines or less

oops..........ok then lets spin off in another direction:

What do you guys think about it, considering that it was developed after hours by only one person...

good you get the idea now

anyway, the site looks good to me, lots of info and not too much clutter, i like the theme, reminds me of phpBB which i like alot

Thanks stolzyboy, but I'll proly re-design it soon ....if you or anyone else have any ideas, then let me know!

daynah

WaQuEe, you may advertise your link in your signature, but creating a thread solely to advertise your site is not allowed. Hope you understand, thanks,

Hi Daynah,

Sorry about that! I've already got the 3'rd degree from stolzyboy, BuzzLY and Moonglobe. :o

I'll remember that the next time.

BuzzLY

We're just lackeys... Daynah is one of the moderators. She has spoken, and the Law was Put Forth. Thou Shalt Not Advertise!

😃

By the way, if you REALLY want people to visit your site, make your signature a link. You do it the same way you do it here in the forum -- using

i'm a moderator, just not in the Echo Lounge Section 🙁

WaQuEe

stolzyboy!!! thats not right!!! you've posted around 2851 and your not moderator of Echo Lounge!!!!! I think you should be promoted or something or even made administrator!!!!

stolzyboy

yeah but i do moderate 3 other forums on this board

i was just messing with Buzz

Linux Help
Nusphere PHPEd
Zend Studio

BuzzLY

I am not a moderator here, although some people seem to think I am. jstarkey seems to think I'm not worthy of moderatorship. That's ok. I'll just say derogatory things about him on my site. :p

Moonglobe

stolzyboy, do you really count the Zend an NuSphere forums forums? because i sure dont.... i've seen maybe two posts since i got here. that's not a lot of activity.
