Those are due to Inkotomi Search engine "bots"

As for promotion I suggest putting a link to inthe00s in your signature line of any *gasp* other boards you visit

how about painting "inthe00s.com" across your arse...and then streak through a very populated place...I'm sure that would get some folks attention! ;)



no, seriously....word of mouth, posting it in blogs/forums, and advertising with the anticipated t-shirts would always be a cool way to let others know of this rad site.

How about making like millions of little pieces of paper that reads "join inthe00s today", then go up in a hot air balloon, and spread them over large cities ;D

ya know Jason...that's not a bad idea. ;)  One time when I was young, there was a hot air balloon floating over my house...and they were dropping pieces of paper from it, unfortunately, I never found one to see what it was they were trying to advertise. :-\\


We used to get those skywriter planes flying by and they'd leave a message written out in smoke... I forgot all about those, I haven't seen one in ages!!!

Late Night talk show host Carson Daly has a myspace (http://www.myspace.com/carson_daly)

If you look in his one and only blog, the 2nd and 3rd comment (i accidentally double posted) is a blurb talking about inthe00s :)

I don't know about doing stuff like that... almost looks like spam when you do something like that.


Then I guess sending Carson a message asking if he would talk about inthe00s on his show would be a bad idea? ;D

I think people will just stumble onto the board like all the rest of us did, end up liking it here just like us and stay around just like us.  It'll all work out.

Yeah, I was wondering that, too. Hm.. Smilies with afros, would be pretty cool, though.

Here's what we do:

Get a homeless man to go to a crowded intersection in some city with a sign on him that says "INTHE00S.COM" and have him scream about it.

Wait.. no.. I'VE GOT IT!

Let's us the Velvet Rope appeal. Just go around telling everyone, "Yeah, so I'm this elite club. No one's allowed to join unless they prove they're the high elite, ya know? Keeps the riffraff out. You? Oh, you could NEVER be a part. You, pal, will NEVER be able to be a part of the forum located at http://www.inthe00s.com. Nope, you'd never make it."

or start weird rumors about inthe00s. "you know, tia was seen on inthe00s right before she mysteriously disappeared." or, "i heard win ho lee used inthe00s to hand over nuclear secrets to the chinese, but that thread got deleted so don't bother checking it."

or we can combine the velvet rope-weird rumor thing. "you know, there's a thread on inthe00s that holds the secret to cold fusion. but don't bother looking it up, i doubt you'd understand it."

Get the 00 and put nipples on the 0's so they look like a huge pair of boobs - might not attract the right type of members but it would keep Howard amused!  :)

But we have to ask the question...do we really WANT more members?

I mean we have over 3,000 members...but only about 0.5% have posted more than 500 posts. Indeed, the great majority (I'd say at least 80%) have posted less than a handful. Seems like a great waste of space to me.
