RE: Promoting TGC - General Ceel - 10-01-2023
Well, aside from the few weird grudge holders still knocking about at a couple of boards, I think think we've necessarily been "overlooked" by anyone so much as we simply haven't been looked for and found since the relaunch last month.
That first week back I submitted both the board and the blog to search engines and we're starting to appear. Both are showing up for a gungan council search on Yahoo and Bing. The board is also showing up on Google, though the blog hasn't cracked that yet.
I wouldn't expect a message board (basically a dead medium) named after the most hated characters in a hate a 24 year old movie to necessarily be any kind of draw for new blood. So I still think that a handful of the more pleasant old timers is what we should be aiming and hoping for for the time being.
What I know is that if TGC is this important to the two of us then its certainly still important to at least a few other people. I want to be visible and ready for them when they do finally happen to feel the tug of nostalgia again and come looking....

Let's fake it til we make it!

Do you still have admin access to the old board? I wonder if that gives you email addresses of previous members?
RE: Promoting TGC - General Ceel - 10-02-2023
I haven't had access to anything since TapaTalk and that account is permanently shuttered.

I wonder if Kat has access to a control panel that has email addresses? I might try and catch her on Discord, but that would require logging into it from time to time!
RE: Promoting TGC - General Ceel - 10-12-2023
I'm not sure if that board still exisits.
RE: Promoting TGC - Danster - 10-12-2023
I think you might be right, it was a paid for service wasn't it?
RE: Promoting TGC - General Ceel - 10-12-2023
Yeah, the first one that actually showed some initial success before we went to the crappy free one without the domain name.

Bring back ezboard
RE: Promoting TGC - General Ceel - 10-13-2023
ezboard was revolutionary in its time. It was a network of boards all connected so you didn't have to change accounts. Now that's the way almost everything is. There were some rough months as it grew quickly and they had trouble making updates and keeping up with traffic.... but overall it was our best home.
