Promotion?
So how do we attract people who weren't there?
Hopefully there's a good set of private connections with the stars who moved off for reasons of their own, inc FB and Twitter etc. Those who know them can pass the message on that there's a new home, all shiney and friendly.
How about attracting even newer people who never knew what they'd missed? Any suggestions for clever things to post publicly that might lure new minds?
Come and join this new fun forum! Why? Because........

Re: Promotion?
As well as hoping that many of those who are no longer at the old forum come back and join us here, we are of course hoping for fresh meat new blood new contributors here too. We'd like this forum to keep a lot of the ruggedness where it's good, but have the flexibility that didn't exist in the other place to keep it friendly. Hopefully we can get the balance right and keep it an attractive place to be.
If anyone knows anyone who would be a welcome member here - and we hope to get a diverse bunch as well, so please do cast the net widely, then please share the link and encourage them to join, whether that's on facebook, twitter, or wherever else.

Re: Promotion?
We have talked possibly about blogs and vlogs (well, I've certainly mentioned it a few times), so I think that could be an idea for having something interesting to share, that would draw folk here.

Fwiw, I have posted a link on Reddit at r/scrutable.

I posted a link to the sci.skeptic newsgroup, that's the best I can do.

I've released a couple of carrier pigeons with the URL written on papyrus and wrapped round their feet
The first ten million years were the worst.
And the second ten million, they were the worst too.

Re: Promotion?
Is there yet any promo tweet/social media format that we can use? Or are we free to make up any old sh.t and send it out across the airwaves?
And I now get to see what happens now I've posted a message with a swearword in it.
Edited to add - it seems, not a lot.

There was a Friends Reunited group on Facebook (possibly still is), which I was briefly a member of, until I got chucked out for being offensive to a 'kipper. (I forget the details but I probably called Farage a con man and his followers gullible idiots).

I can do my usual charity over 80s nudist trampolining club whist drive.

Re: Promotion?
I think having a blog sit along side the forum will add hugely. Makes scrutable much broader in scope. Who actually blogs/writes articles is moot.

Re: Promotion?
I posted the link on my FB page but the preview fetched/generated by Facebook is just the list of the number of people online, hardly inspiring.

Hi Don, we can't really help that tbh. Thanks for posting the link. Hopefully we'll have a logo before too long. We're doing our best here. Having a working forum is the main thing, and we have that now.
