As most of you are probably aware, tankball is slowly dying. CSW and I want to try to revive it. It was CSW's idea to start advertising tankball on different gaming sites. For this, the first thing we need is a site. CSW and I will make the site, but we haven't decided what the site's name should be. Post suitable names for it in this thread and then we can vote on the best name.

If you're serious about this, then I'll give a halfway thought-out reply(I happen to be awake for once, and in a good mood as I get paid later today).
I would advise a multi-tiered approach to advertising. Building a Tankball site is effective, but you have to be able to do more to draw members there. So I'll leave the sitework to you guys, but for more approaches, I would suggest:
1) Incorporating social networking. Facebook, Myspace, Chatango, MSN, as many social networking sites as you can think of, I would establish a presence in each of those to advertise Tankball.
2) Using current gaming sites, as you suggested above. IGN, Xbox.com, Gameinformer, many other websites for games and game info would be good places to suggest TB. Things you could mention is how TB is free, browser-based(this means no downloading anything), and very, very simple to understand and to pick up.
3) Networking the current players available. By this, I mean doing more to make sure that everybody that is active is on the same page, and very easily available. MSN and Facebook are usually how I keep up with most of you when I'm not on here, I'd just try to find as many people as you can from here to keep in touch with, to build the community we already have into something that is easier for outsiders to adapt to.

Really good ideas there Deci and yes I am completely serious about this. We already have a facebook page by the way: www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_101945149900507It needs proper organization though. Its messed up and everyone who joins becomes an admin.  I think we also need an MSN master list so everyone can add each other. Firestar you can start a twitter page. Any help would be appreciated. Once the site has been made, i suggest you all join it. That will be the base of advertising ideas, etc. But first suggest some names for it please. I suck at picking names. |

first i want to say all of these ideas are good and deci i know we dont see eye to eye and all but well said on this and on the situation with PANZ and NC. Next my thoughts and ideas on this #1 if we are going to make a site we need to be somewhat open for NEW ideas for theads and things like my blackjack idea btw lol it was a random idea i was half awake when i made it #2 www.tankballhangout.proboards.com/ is a good overall site but not very active #3 i like what these guys did www.freewebs.com/armageddon-tb/index.htm this song and all i will recall my theme song thread i think it would be cool to put a overall tb theme song right into the site #4 it would need to be more than just NC on the site i would post this on the OG site and whats left of NCH #5 if possible we should make a mini-movie of tb and have it on the site #6 ranking system on the site would need to offical and i think reviewed by all of NC #7 the bg will need to be "eye grabbing" #8 i can post the site on the VA site, like i told pain i was once a VA but, i quit like 5 months into the rejoined about 8 months ago under my old VA name Vå÷ØÐîÑ that only if you guys want me to #9 if it can be done and only if it can be done we should make a MSN site where we all can meet and talk and only if it can be done i think it would be cool to do and last but not least #10 the Chatango page needs to be a overall tb Chatango page. |

Meh I'll try Orion, the new site will be made mainly for advertising tankball and its history. If you want to start some extra threads there then thats ok, but we already have the 'general talk' thread for that here and on the og site. I don't really see the point of posting on the VA site since it is dead. But first suggest some names for the site people xD |

ive made the page for facebook. but i named it just 'Tankball' because 'Tankball 2' might cause confusion among new people. But for the proboards site, i need you guys to suggest some names please.

No not that kind of advertisement. First I need to make a proboards website for this. Then I need people to help me with spreading the word that tankball even exists. We can do that by posting in different gaming forums, making our signatures on those sites with links to tankball, etc. But I suck at making names for proboards sites. All I need is a good name for it and I can get started.

the names fine, TB Forver or whatever, but due to the present conditions we cant advertise on FB. It would be better to just add people to the page who we know that play TB. They can spread the word.
