We need ... wait, have to ... get the word out about E-Blah!

We've been dormat too long to just be a 17,000 line project that no one uses!  We need hits, we need downloads, we need users.  I am asking ... or begging ... everyone that uses E-Blah to advertise.  Tell EVERYONE you know about E-Blah and try to get as many supporters as you can.  E-Blah isn't dead, and we can't make out like it is for any longer!

So get to spreading the word guys!  Do whatever you have to. Just get the word out!

Here's an idea Justin and I came up with:

We will hold a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly modding contest for E-Blah modifications. However--we're at a block and we need your guys' help to give us some ideas! We need some ideas to flesh out this plan, and that's up to you, the community!

We'll need all sorts of ideas and plans on how to get this worked out based on how you guys perceive this plan in your mind.

Please post and comments, suggestions, or ideas for this!

Thanks,
  Nick

Well I dont know about what a well hit board would be but I think that my board does verywell. There is a average of 50 post a day now and usually two to four people there just about all the time. I would love to advertise for u and push this board, because it is one of the best that I have ever used. I did and do still have a lot to learn on how it works and how to add things to it and I did have trouble getting it up and running, but I would love to be a tester for you or mabe we can just chat on some things about it and how to add mods. I would love to start to do mods for it but think I should no more about and how to run like a champ first.

Truly loved board
Piratetrader

P.S. Thanx so much for this great board and God Bless

I also want to point out, that starting a community here would start to attract people as well.

I advertised in the Net Marketing Forum, and about 70 people will visit from StartXchange. Lets see if we can get some of them to use it now :0)

LoL am I the only advertiser you know?

The only suggestion I have is, develop what I call, a Dum-dum user friendly install/set-up interface that the average Joe-Smoe Windows users can use. If done right, this product can easily be packaged and sold. With the latest MSN changes, many are looking for an alternative, and the potential is there for BBS’s to fill the void. Think about it, BBS’s are really nothing more than a - further integrated messaging type of service, with a lot more options.

Everything needs constant developing, and the object should always be - to make your product more attractive to a wider base of the potential market.

This isn’t the time to be down this is the time to be up. This products greatest opportunity is here, NOW!

Do you have a counter or something on your site? I just want you to be able to notice a jump in visitors.

Hi Justin,

As you know we are very impressed with your E-Blah script. We have already created a page dedicated to E-Blah on our site and is linked to from our home page. Included in the page are links to eblah.com, to demo the board in action and to download the script now as well as other things that are on your main page. For those that want to view it Click Here.

We have also installed it on a couple other sites and they love it.

We have also advertised it on a virtual gaming league site that has tons of members. They are using a board that they have to pay an annual fee to use so we told them to come here and get it for free...

We will do more to get the word out. We have a periodic newsletter that we will advertise it in and will add it in all of our outgoing email as well. We have tons of contacts so we will make sure they all hear about it and either use it themselves or point their customers to it.

We are also going to create a tarred zipped version of it for you as well to make it easy to install for people that download it. That should address the issue raised by The Main-Meng for making it easy for users to install. We will send you the tarred version of it when we have it ready.

Don't worry...we will do our part in helping you to get the word out

Thanks!  I am highly impressed at the support we got!  Thanks everyone!  I'm going to try to be releasing a new version sometime within the next few weeks.

Voting there (with comments -- just being registered), will help E-Blah get higher in the charts there.

Hey, an oppritunity. My robotics group is looking for sponsors. If they get $100 or over then they will put the sponsors name on their T-shirt. If someone is willing to fess up that kind of cash, over 10,000 people will likely see the link and name on our shirts and webpage and robot . You could contact the right people at http://www.aim-robotics.org .

I am actually thinking about doing it for my own site .

I'm going to be revamping the links page on my website, once I finish I'll add E-Blah as a link .

Ahhhh .... it looks so much better now since the last time I tried to install E-Blah.. seems like aeons ago. Anyway, I'm not using E-Blah, but would like to offer you impressions on Webmasters In Business. If you would kindly pass me a 468*60 banner {gif static or animated} and the URL to point it to, I'll plonk it there.

Send it to me at aainaalyaa at nihongo dot co dot jp

ttyl Justin, and all the best!

AA

PS: Also, if you'd like to go forward in working E-Blah to a higher ground, contact K. Arthur of Mamboportal.com, and see how you can intergrate E-Blah as a component with MOS.
