...when we search for "the brits are a joke".
How are we supposed to get new members on our board when we can't be found on Google? :(

We've only just begun, that's why. Plus, I'm sure certain users at Smeggys wouldn't mind you recommending this site to them. :thumbsup:

Like which users would they be? If crumbs saw me post on there, he'd bash me yet again! And probably report me for advertising! :(

Smeggypants himself, plus any other user apart from crumbs and Scott Nelson, (whom I believe to be both the same fucking user). :thumbsup:

Scott Nelson doesn't seem to be as harsh as Crumbs though.

However, I will do so. :)

Could we enforce a "multiple accounts rule", in that we allow one account per person? :) That way that wouldn't happen to us.
Also, "registering an account after having been banned (temporarily or permanently) is not permitted and will result in all linked accounts being terminated". Certainly on here, that is :D

Woo! Our welcome thread has now made it up onto the third page of Google. Keep up the good work :)

What exactly did you type into Google Search to bring that up on the 3rd page, may I ask? ^_^

I typed in "the brits are a joke" (obviously without the quotes)

Hopefully we can do something to get our site onto the first page :)

One year on from when the thread was first created, and I have just typed "the brits are a joke" again into Google.

The "General Discussion" forum of this site appears on the 3rd page.

I wonder, is there anything we can do to improve this? Like, get onto the first 2 pages? Getting the site further up the Google rankings will probably get more users joining the site, don't you think?

(In case you were wondering, the information is relevant to the thread, hence why I replied)

Good idea - that will revitalize this forum and (hopefully!) attract new users.
I'll definitely be around more often, and a larger selection of threads/topics should help with our search issue.
