When this site was launched on the old ezboard by Parabellum and I, we never imagined that it would evolve into the community that it is today.
And here we are, several years later with a community full of brilliant people, some have come and gone but we intend this site to be here for a long, long time.
Recently postings have taken a little bit of a dip, I decided to check out the site traffic and the search engine ratings and alarmingly the traffic over the last 3 months is down by about a quarter.
This is reflected by a drop in the amount of new registrations and postings.
We need new people to come along here and want to get the bug, serious people who want to try hard and learn how to make all these wonderful demos and believe me when I say that the challenges here are only a small part of it.
This forum needs people to be here asking questions and posting the things that they are working on.. Otherwise it will stagnate and die.
There are some very simple things that you can do to help promote this site, please do it in a courteous way though, the last thing I'd want is for us to be pissing off other people who have websites.
If you are a member of another community, please do feel free to add a link into your signature that points to this website, example bb code to do this would be;
[url=http://"http://www.dbfinteractive.com/index.php"][img]http://www.dbfinteractive.com/site_gfx/dbfbutton.png[/img] - Demoscene programming Forum[/url]
If you have a website, we have a button that you can include in your page, here is some preformatted html to do the job for you;
<a href="http://www.dbfinteractive.com" title="Demoscene programming website!"><img src="http://www.dbfinteractive.com/site_gfx/dbfbutton.png" alt ="Dark Bit Factory" border="0" /></a>
Alternatively the button graphic is added to this post.
Even though your signature or link might not directly generate visitors to dbfinteractive, it will help with our alexa and google rankings, hopefully this will help bring more new people to our great place.
When you have posted your links, to be fair to the site you posted on, please post in this topic a url to show where it's been posted and then that site also earns a backlink.
Thanks!
