If you /8lounger/s want this board to get any faster you are going to have to start shilling as far as I can see.
Advertising on other boards without being rude is the best plan I think.

>>2226I've actually been making a few shill threads for the lounge every now and then. There are always these cunts who oppose the board because "muh shills" and no other reason, but if a bunch of us got together, we could make a pretty good ad campaign. Anyone else here up for it?

Pitch the concept of this board to me
No.2233
>>2232Short pitch - it's a fancy /b/ with less poppycockposting.
Pros:
-Nice CSS.
-Pleasant Community.
-Jukebox.
-There are certain times when the CSS changes for about an hour to look like a nigh club.
-Mods have been chill. chortle I poppycockposted on this board once just for kicks and either one of the mods or the board owner changed it to sound fancy and less like a poppycockpost. I don't think they've deleted any posts so far, but you'd have to ask them.

OP here. Let's look at boards with nice communities, or boards similar to ours in some way. I'll be back with son suggestions soon.

>>2226Afternoon, gents.
I wouldn't mind advertising 8lounge a bit more. I've been keeping the shilling to low levels (at least on my part) since I don't want to impose on other board cultures, however, if you'd like the community to grow, I'd be more than happy to help in the concerted effort.
Boards that we can advertise to are as follows:
>>>/v/>>>/b/>>>/pol/>>>/leftypol/>>>/lit/>>>/mu/>>>/ck//8lounge/ is also part of a board circle of other small boards in order to help share traffic between them. If you have a small board, feel free to post it and I can have you added to the advertisement at the top of the jukebox.
As well, if you have any other suggestions for advertising in general, feel free to add them.
No.2242
>>2241Friend I'm a /pol/ack myself, but I say avoid /pol/ and /leftypol/.
I would suggest aiming at small boards like
>>>/coffee/ or
>>>/am/ maybe. They have small and fairly relaxed communities.
No.2243
Also, on smaller boards, our ad will stay in full view longer. /pol/ will vanish it unless we constantly bump it.

So where should we advertise first?
No.2258
I've been considering what sorts of strategies would work best. I'll leave boards to your own discrepancy. Advertise any time you're free / feel like it. Aside from that, because of different timezones and so forth, it might be a bit difficult to organize one thread with several posters in it If you chaps are up for it, how about Sunday at 7:00pm EST? I'll advertise largely on /b/, and if a few posters would be so kind as to advertise on the smaller boards that Mr(s). Anon brought up, that would be great.

Is it just me, or has this place gotten slower?
No.2304
>>2265I don't see why not. Welcome! I'll add your board to the jukebox sticky.
>>2294I believe it's been a bit slower than it was yesterday, but yesterday and the day before, there were large amounts of threads. I don't think anyone's been advertising for the lounge lately, so if you get the chance, shoot off a couple threads. We're also commencing a larger ad campaign by making threads about the lounge on boards tomorrow. The details are listed here:
>>2258>>2235This looks like a nice idea. Unfortunately, I've been a bit pressed for time recently. If any Mr(s). Anons would be up for coming up with ideas or doing voicing, I could try and put everything together in some sort of video. From there, turning it into a webm that could be spread about shouldn't be too difficult.
No.2478
/tradfem/ could use some cross posting, methinx. similar aesthetics there.
No.2779
>>2478Sounds like a good idea. We need a plan to get some regular posters… Maybe throw a tea party of sorts, like
