Hmm now i'm intrigued.....
If you were a fellow forum junkie then you'd know there are perhaps two or three forum junkies here but they are also forum admins

How did we do it? 12 days and over 150 members....... easy. Sit in a chair for almost twenty hours per day, surfing the net for great forums and personally emailing them individually, inviting them to take a look at what we have to offer them and whilst you are doing this work like crazy on adding great content, fantastic features, community spirit, members queries, basically anything that will make our members feel comfortable. Then there's seo, link popularity, sponsorship deals and our own sites to look after, so i think its safe to say that to give a forum a kick start a little time, effort and alot of enthusiasim for the project are vital

Yeah, I was personally emailed, and I dunno why, cos some people tend to think I'm a complete nutter, but after looking around this place I decided I liked it enough to join Its had some very interesting discussions thus far, and that would be enough to get anyone to join!

Hi Neworder, i remember you telling me you were too young to remember the band called New Order lol

I'm still getting used to working on vb myself so i can't offer anything that useful as yet. I'm planning on moving forum junkies over to vb very soon so i better start learning.

One thing that's crucial to getting deeply indexed by spiders is a good sitemap and content.

I was personally e-mailed and I thank you for that. I like it here and it's giving me some inspiration for my own forum. I think what you did, writing a personal e-mail to each forum owner, was a good idea and I may adopt it in some form my self.
