It is all well and good if we get the vast majority of existing members from the other site, however if we do not find a way to gain newbies this site will simply die a slow death. The other site had an ace in the hole for this, as it was directly attached to the Bengals web site. This one is, unfortunately, obscure.
Without some direct pathway for new members to find this site, we will not get he joy of introducing a new SteelersFairandBalanced, EAPoe, ColtsFan4Ever, MorningStar, or even a poster such as myself. Think about it.
Maybe people with an active Twitter account can promote on there? Same with people with very active Facebook accounts, members of other sports related message boards, etc. etc.
I know it isn't quite the same as being attached directly to the official Bengals' website, but it's at least something that we could all pitch in to do. There are a lot of us that are very passionate about this community, and there are so many that appreciate what Bengalholic, WhoDeyWho, and the others have done to put this together to keep us as a family. I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to use some of their spare time to promote this around the web from time to time. We just need to make sure people are keeping up on it in the future so a steady stream of new people can see that this place exists.
