Poll on the new site.

[vadim]

Hi, once again I need to ask for help. tell me YOUR REAL OPINION or on number scale 1-10 what would you rate our new site fronpage.
Please post it here asap.

it seems quite functional: should load easily too and be easy to update. But I don't think it will necessarily encourage people to register...which is something we need right now...as sponsors will always be interested in our numerical strength.
Though I might be wrong here....who knows!

The site is looking good! As for more members, I see the number increasing every week, maybe not as much as you wuld like, but it is going up. Word of mouth is the best way to advertise, do you want us to mention you on other boards, we could do that???Let us know!

Thank you guys for feedback, you just don't know how much I appreciate it, it really means a lot.
CouponLady: well of course your could mention it, but most of other boards don't like anyone mentioning anything about other sites, so I suggest to mention it but keep it quite and very simple we don't want to be in conflict with any boards, we want to be friends with them. So I recommend you refer your friends, and I'm working on some referral system.
Thanks a lot! I hope to hear from your soon.

I need to get some idea for myself.

Vadim, did u read my idea about a "special deal" page visible only to registered members? It's on the Comments board where u'd asked for suggestions earlier.

[vadim]

Yes, I read that and I'm going to look into something, but the main thing is we need advertisement, as well as some cool features, But If I speak for myself, this is what I think: "there are many sites out there, but 99.9% of them are similar in almost everything, so I think what we need to do is be totally different from others with weird features and add-ons I'm not sure exactly what that can be but I know that it would defiantly increase out growth. I learned before that users can come up with stuff developers can't, I'll simply take any game such as Quake, the game by itself sucks, but when MODs for it were created by end users the game became the most popular game, so what we need is something that others don't have and I know all of you visit other sites daily and sometimes you say 'Damn I wish this thing was here' instead of just saying write it here, and I'll try my best to make it possible. Yes I know sometimes there is stuff that would be nice to have, but nearly to impossible to make, but still just post it here and I'll try my best, because I really want dealking to grow from small site to a big site. So help me out on thinking! Give me comments on current site so I can think. Thank you all in advance I think that summarized everything I wanted to say"

yes, today's front page was good...
most important to get people to register.

I'll really try to help come up with some ideas. I like the idea of a special page just for registered users though. Whatever we do, you have to make the "Registered user" feel like he is getting somtething extra, or special, for giving you his name. Even if it is not much. Ok, how about a crazy thought!!!Have you been to rating wonders? Well they will pay you a $1.00, for every site you review.(Or, give them a freebie, if you could get them) If your company can afford it, for a limited time, why don't you pay New Users only, $1.00, for registering, and/or $1.00 for every person they refer who signs up. You wouldn't have to run it forever, just for a few weeks or, until your pockets run dry.

Ok, that's my thought for the day.

By the way, I prefer the lighter yellow color, than this gold. But, that's my opinion.
