Oh Tim, you gotta think of some clever marketing to get the word out. I'm modding no threads right now!  

Too bad we can't afford a TV commercial huh?

Thanks, I appreciate your support. It's really difficult to get the word out with a very limited budget, but we try.

As for making it big, that's not even in my radar right now. First I just want to get the website to a point where it becomes self-sustaining.

You should tell others in your major.

We're up to 45 registered users! But where are the posts?  

It's still just a tiny number of users, but at least it's some progress. HEY, IF YOU'RE LISTENING, please join in on the conversation!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it's because there's really no content to start off, so people feel it's a bit lonely on the boards. But just start a topic, any topic! Get the ball rolling!

i think people might be little reserved since there's hardly any content. but the problem is the content is supposed to be made by the users.

Yeah I know. I think all websites that depend on user-generated content face that issue when starting out. Some websites take a while before they start to gain momentum. BTW, if anyone wants to track the site's traffic progress, go here:
http://majorindulgence.com/traffic

You can see that there's currently 66 registered users (including myself and Alice-MI), but only a few of them have actually posted. The others remain quiet.

I clicked on your traffic data webpage and it seems to be coming along. I wonder why hardly anyone's posting. This site's like youtube and facebook, in that it depends on people's contributions.

Oh thanks for the welcome. Hey do early users get to be moderators later on?   Assuming we're well behaved of course.

Thanks for registering, Mark. Yeah it's definitely a little slow starting out. I think if people just started posting whatever it is that they're thinking, rather than thinking too hard to post something, there would be a lot more that would participate.

As for being a future moderator, who knows. So far there hasn't been any need for any.
