This is an age-old discussion. It's always going to come down to us avertising better and showing off our main feature, which is our community. Everyone knows they're not going to find news here before IGN or gamespot gets it. Instead they come here because it's a small community where you can actually get to know the other members. Attracting new members starts with you guys. It's a simple matter to put gametavern.net in your signature at other forums. If you include your referrer ID like it says in the welcome thread then you can get doubloon credit for the referral when someone signs up through your link. Or click on the
Refer a Friend link at the bottom of the page. Surely you each know someone who might be interested in joining us. I have been planning on launching an advertising campaign which would involve banner swaps with other sites but there are things I want to accomplish before that happens. I try to make things interesting by including features here that you don't generally see at other forums such as the arcade games, being able to buy gifts for people, the weather updates, and other little things. I'm beginning to realize though that GameTavern will never be a finished product as it is always evolving. The internet is evolving too of course and there seems to be fewer and fewer sites like this one. I can't even think of any from a few years ago that are still around.
