As the directory is unlikely to be updated for a while, I'd like to make a suggestion. Would it be possible for you to make a category, called *advertising* or similar, and within that, have different forums, for different kinds of boards. That way users can advertise their boards in the relevant section, and hopefully get some interest. This would really help those of us who have either only just set up, or have been going for a while and don't have a lot of members yet.

Thanks Sandy. Where did the reply from Moonface go? So is this a good idea or a bad idea? Or should I just shove my suggestion where the sun doesn't shine then? It really would be helpful, and to be honest I don't see why it can't be done. It would take 30 mins max to set up another category with the relevant forums in it. Is that really too much to ask? Just to help us out? Edited by sugarpuff, Jan 28 2014, 07:31 AM.

There is nothing wrong with the idea itself. However, the post was hidden because it was not the official view of Zathyus Networks and we did not want to give the wrong impression that this would happen when it may not be what Brandon intends. Regardless of what we do, Brandon needs to be consulted first to determine whether it is easier to fix the directory, replace it with a forum or series of forums advertising boards on here, or some other combination possibly of both. Additionally, if this happens, it will not be as quick as you hope. When the service first started, there was no board directory. Instead we had a forum to advertise boards. A large part of why the directory was created was because this forum idea failed to give boards the advertising they desired. So if we were to go down that path again, we would first look at how to improve it so it was as efficient and manageable as possible. It has been nearly 10 years since we last tried it so a lot has changed and we have more tools to improve on what we had at the time. But still, it needs to be well thought out and clear rules need to be written. So the idea itself isn't bad. It's being discussed. But as of now, we have no official stance one way or the other. |
