Once I put the word out I was starting my own, people came over in droves. I had built the relationships online first and didn't go in like a bull in a china shop. It took me a few months to do this. It didn't happen that quickly. I was very active on Zillow before I started my forum. Once I put the word out I was starting my own, people came over in droves.

The best place to promote internet goods is on the internet.

One of my staff members banned him for winding up the chat room natives. I advertise other parts of the site via e-mail without even realising it! ----- "Hi, Spencer. No apology is needed. We're a young community, so some of the regular members are new to chatting in general, not just to the site. This means they're not too used to wind ups and the such. The staff members have to act on behalf of the majority of the members for the best interests of the site at the moment to help it grow. You're more than welcome in the community. I think you'd enjoy our discussion forums located at www.friendly-forums.co.uk more than the chat rooms at the moment - they're much more banterful and jokative than the chat client and enjoys the odd playful wind up. Take care - I look forward to seeing you on the forums. Thanks, Tom. Smiley[Host] Discover your friendly e-Community." ----- Hi,

“Hi, Spencer.

No apology is needed. We’re a young community, so some of the regular members are new to chatting in general, not just to the site. This means they’re not too used to wind ups and the such.

You’re more than welcome in the community. I think you’d enjoy our discussion forums located at http://www.friendly-forums.co.uk more than the chat rooms at the moment – they’re much more banterful and jokative than the chat client and enjoys the odd playful wind up.

Take care – I look forward to seeing you on the forums.
