So I've heard a few people tell me now that they didn't realize "Alone in a Crowd" had a forum. Apparently the left-hand menu bar of aiacrowd.com isn't getting explored too deeply. We've got a great little community forming here, and I'd love to see it continue to grow, so I'm thinking of putting an ad on the front page in the spot next to the comic that's currently showing an ad for my friend's "Geeking Out" blog. Hopefully that'll entice more of the other readers to stop by and join in on our fun.

Initially I was going to put a general slogan on it, like: "Come join the good times!" Somehow I think there's potential to get something more eye-catching on there. So before I decided on anything, I thought I'd ask your opinions and see if you had any ideas of what you think it should say.

The way I see it, this forum and community is just as much yours as it is my, so your thoughts matter :)

Well, if you're gonna use that tagline, might as well put Deserae on the icon. :P

I Think just "Click to join the Forums!" is good, and have a picture of an ecstatic Hope.

Desirae should just be in ALL the ads for AIAC :lol:

I think you're right, my trusty mod. Keeping it to the point like that probably would be the best way to go. People will know exactly what it's about.

The only other thought that occurred to me was to have it say "Come and join The Crowd!"

I could stand on street corners, and yell at people till they join the forum? I've already got my keg of beer. Shouting Hobo Proof!

Also, why not advertise on a few sites again?

First yell at them to start reading the strip. That's gotta come first ;)

With this plan, we'll have the street corner market NAILED!!!

But anyway, I wouldn't really advertise the forum on other websites because people need to be fans of the comic before they come here anyway. I would advertise AIAC, and hope people discover the forum once they're here and enjoying the comic. Somehow I don't think someone would join the forum if they don't know what "Alone in a Crowd" is.

Maybe somehow emphasizing that "the crowd" is *here* would be suitably pithy?

"Join the hopetails revolution! The crowd is here. Blast into infinite awesome!"

Okay, that's it, I need to get Gurren off my brain.

OK then, how about:

"Want to be a part of The Crowd? Join Alone in a Forum!"

or

"Come and Join The Crowd at Alone in a Forum!"

The second one sounds slightly 'off' to me, but with a nice layout it could *look* great.... try'nna remember now, is the Internet a primarily audio medium or not? ;)
