Website Publisher Forums

[Jon]

I'm kinda curious to know..

How did you 1600+ webmasters and developers come across this forum, and what made you want to join?

[James]

I found it through Chris promoting his guide to creating a website.

[Dan Grossman]

Chris's signature on SPF.

[Ben]

I was just reading one of Chris' posts, and really enjoyed it. So I followed his link and so joined up to WSP

[ozgression]

Chris's signature on SPF.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I found it.

[Michael]

Chris's signature on SPF.

ditto

[fredarn]

i found it when i searched for SEO tips on google.
I like the design and i think all the webmasters here can help me become a better webmaster so i joined :)

[Mullen]

Through reading his articles, I must have got the link from his signature over at SP.

[Masetek]

Chris's signature on SPF.

Yeah me too

[chromate]

same.

[Blue Cat Buxton]

likewise

[stymiee]

Ditto

[SEbasic]

Someone I really dislike said this place was crap so I thought I'd check it out just to spite him.

[ChrisRoss]

Knew Chris from Sitepoint, and he reviewed on of my services on this site.

[ses5909]

Chris' sig on SPF

[Jon]

So we're pretty much all current and/or former SPF users?

lol! Best answer yet. :)

[jacob]

i trickled over here from SPF as well from Chris's sig. I'm one of those forum lurker types that hated like i felt like i was being blasted and/or ignored anytime i posted over there (was under a diff nick). I found it intimidating posting over there from the negativity i'd experienced from posts asking for help.

[Cutter]

Same here, sitepoint sig

[Mike]

I PM'd him about something through SP, he came back with this URL. That was a few days before the site 'officially' launched, I think :)

[ket]

+1 from sitepoint

[moonshield]

sitepoint sig.

[MarkB]

Same as most everyone else :)

[r2d2]

Guess what!

....


Me too :)

[MarkB]

We rule :cool:

[Dan Grossman]

We rule :cool:

It's not a particularly good thing that nobody has admitted to coming here other than from SPF.

[CreationNation]

Sitepoint sig/MarkB mention - I think also a google link at on point regarding VBulletin.

[Cutter]

fredarn said he found WSP from Google

It's pretty crazy that SPF gave WP what seems to be the majority of it's member base.

[Cutter]

One thing I've found from my own forums is that your best audience is current forum users. For a novice internet user who has never used a message board before vB is foreign territory. It might also explain why even the most liberal forums (in reference to rules, not politics) expressly forbid linking to related forums.

[James]

It's not a particularly good thing that nobody has admitted to coming here other than from SPF.Perhaps not traffic-wise, but for the overall knowledge level it's good. I enjoy not having to explain that clicking on your Google ads 300 times a day isn't the proper way to try and make money on a daily basis.

YOU DON'T!!!!! But I definately agree with you :p

[SRTech]

Another one from SP. I enjoy the fact that I can read 99% of the new posts, simply because there is less of them. :)

[tommy_boy]

Not from SP. I found this site on my own.

i concur!

[Michel Z.]

I'm kinda curious to know..

How did you 1600+ webmasters and developers come across this forum, and what made you want to join?

Basicly, because of you Jon! :lol:

Well, I read all your threads on Sitepoint with great interest. That's why I am lately also more active here hahaha...!

To be more honest: I found this forum by placing thread on Sitepoint asking for well known, big forums, etc. That gave me a list of forums which I joined, including Website Publisher Forums, in order for me to get always answers to my questions I might have!

I think the concept of forums being out there is "amazing", always people helping out others without asking something in return! That's the GREAT thing about forums. :banana:

[organ]

I found it through a guy's recommender, "$ 1000 per day."
I think it great! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Emancipator]

not sure how i found it... google probly.

[BGray]

I followed Chris' sig on SP (Powerful Stuff)

***Sidenote: A link on Chris' SP sig has to be worth hunderds a month

[deronsizemore]

Chris' sig at SP.

[KLB]

Chris' SPF sig link after the infamous SPF incident.

[Doug]

I found it about 2 years ago on google when I was just starting to get into websites. I think there were something like 495 members when I joined.


So we're pretty much all current and/or former SPF users?

I went to sitepoint after hearing about it on here but I always liked here better. Sitepoint seemed too crowded or something. Your questions would sometimes get answered quicker at Sitepoint but that was about the only thing that I liked better about it.

[MikeD]

I was told there was a conspiracy going on in here and has to see it for myself.

[john190]

I am not 100% sure. I think I found it within Google though and I then joined it because it was active and also was on the same topic as what I am interested in.

[Giles]

I found the link on the blog of MrGeeK

[Selkirk]

Chris' signature on SPF. :)
