Talk:Bringing in Users

Yes... we definitely need more users. We could send out a Acad wide email - Stuey

I don't think we need such agressive methods. Personally I would be annoyed and potentially turned off to the idea by such tactics. -Chrax

I think more people will go to it. It hasn't bee up long. - Stuey

An Academy wide mail is a bad idea. If I get one of those I'm going to become a troll. Just so you guys know. -goofyheadedpunk

I'll become a notorious mime. -Squishypickle

Stu makes a good point: This fucker's been up for about 4 days. Let's put this stuff on hold until... maybe a week after we go back, and then we can decide whether or not it's getting decent exposure. -Chrax

So I'm going to remove the link from the front page. It's a bit early to be worrying about this. -Chrax

See look at that, Helen's already joined. This is becoming a hit! -Chrax

It takes a long time for stuff to find its way to google, even if the googlebot visits your page millions of times. I dont know why. -Squishypickle

The googlebot and the actual database are two separate things. The site is processed a bit ( no one knows how ) before entering the database. Normally the process is supposed to take 2 weeks for a moderately linked page. Of course this is only for the web search. Generaly the google image thingie is about 6 months behind. -goofyheadedpunk
