    I did this up in response to some of my concerns and some things i read in pl's sticky love post, (mmm sticky love) gross, anyways, i remember not too long ago when we would have 4 twbd arenas rocking all weekend long, and it saddens me that those days have left us behind.

    Rarely on the week days do i even see twbd2 in action. so im asking that anyone who may have account at mmorpg.com could gradualy and tactfully keep this thread bumped for a few days.if you can help, i beg that you do it in a polite non spaming or desperate looking form. it should be noted that within the first 5mins of posting it, it had over 50 views.

    wether your game is bd/jd/dd or all of the above, nobody is happy when you have to log on and wait a couple hours in the hopes of getting one or 2 games. like i said in the post, this is one of very few games that you can just load up in seconds, jump in and blast away for a while then head out. thats what i have always loved about it, its convenient(well that and the people).

    thats all i have to say about that, and thanks in advance to those who help out, and if you cant post lets spread the link around as far and wide as we can, and perhaps pureluck can cover us all in more sticky love? muahaha

    i crack me up



    ps. i know i should have posted this in one of the sticky threads, and i apologize, but this way it will be noticed by everyone.

    Hey ajax, I'd recommend removing the links to the video's in your post on MMORPG. Not because they are bad video's but let the words grab their interest and have them get into the game, visually the game's never really been all that appealing and I think that might turn some people off so much that they wont even give the game a shot.

        I'm all for promoting SS this way. Let's get the name out there.

        It's sad that the game is dying. TWBD basing is the best game I've ever played. It's a shame that its nearly impossible to find a full 8v8 game. I too remember when you could log on at nearly any time and find an opponent within 30 minutes. Nowadays you struggle to get a 7v7 game. It used to be laughed at when someone suggested a 6v6. Now people often resort to it because there is no other choice.

        I don't remember if this was ever brought up, but www.mpogd.com can be a great way to promote a game if you can get a lot of people to vote. Right at the moment it looks like you need about 1500 votes to crack the top 5 and be displayed on the main page-- which would be a huge piece of promotion for the game. The thing about MPOGD is that most of the time, the top 5 voted games are only there because the game rewards the player (or forces the player) to vote for the game. Still, I'm sure Subspace has a lot more than 1500 players. If the SSCouncil (or whatever they call themselves) made an effort to push the voting thing on MPOGD I'm sure we could crack the top 5. Anyone that plays and loves SS owes it to the game to spend 60 seconds voting for it.

        On the other hand, getting a paid advertisment somewhere would probably work great. It wouldn't be too hard to set up an advertisment fund for people to donate to. Getting a banner on a popular website or two would work wonders.

        This game definately needs promotion. It's going to be a downward spiral from here unless something happens.

          By the way, I have to agree with Reaver that posting low quality videos of the game might not be the best way to promote it. The game looks bad enough, and showing people grainy recordings isn't going to help much. :P

          Also, why not link to www.getcontinuum.net ? It's a very professional looking site, and it's made just for purposes such as this.

            What if I loved how the game was but hate the sysopless mess it is now where some retard copy pastes settings from a sub arena onto the pubs they don't play, thinking the shit will play exactly the same and simply because they're the settings the newbie kids who play in that subarena orgasmed over, it means that the pub players would simply love it let alone not fucking hate it to hell and back and not want it at all, all the time wishing the shit was back to the way they had been?

            There's been a downward spiral for sure but I'm not sure how well you can keep new players when they get triple bounce gibbed time and time again by kids who would normally use a lev in the same arena for the exact same purposes, easy kills for no skill cost.

            Well then again I guess nubs are gullub so who knows.

                hmm well regardless, like stabwound said, if everyone starts doing little projects like this , we can all help to build the community back up . it took me all of 10 mins to write edit and add a couple links to that thread i made.

                there are plenty of other large traffic forums around the net with off topic discussion areas. i tried making something for digg.com too, but i gave up on that, maybe some1 else could do that.

                and if you do start some type of campaign, be sure to let us all know so we can all go and support it. hurrah!

                            Even if we all go out and get players what is the point right now. Pubs change weekly, a bot takes all the help calls, etc. etc. etc. If I started playing this game as it is right now instead of when I started, I probaly wouldn't be playing. We need to fix the problems before we start getting new players, or else our efforts will be useless.
