This kick ass forum has been growing as of late but the forum is still carried by a handful of super active posters. And it seems like outside of the Bears forums we really have not too many new members posting.

Post ideas that everyone willing can do to get more members on our site and how to get the new members to post in more areas of the site.

I have posted on a music forum that I post on telling sports fans of our site.

Invite members/PM spam from the Official Team forums. A lot of official boards suck, and they only concentrate on 1 team (for good reason)....however a lot of people like to talk all chicago teams that is why we can pull some good posters away :)

Also the ESPN Boards but you have to use www.tinyurl.com/chicagosportsforum or a tinyurl because they blocked our URL lol.

Facebook is a great way to recruit new members. I've recruited a couple very solid posters recently and I think this is a great way to advertise our site. Most of us have facebooks that we could use so it's a good way.

The Official Facebook Pages of the Chicago teams get a lot of comments posted. It's best to message people who you believe would be good posters. It's easy to tell who knows what they are talking about and who is a casual fan. You can send around 5-7 messages until Facebook asks you to stop for abusive behavior by sending URL's in a message to non-friends. I've had my messages blocked 10 times or so this week lol. It blocks them for about an hour and then you can send more.

Hey I saw your comment on the fan page and thought you'd be a great poster on CCS. Here is the link CHI CITY SPORTS l #1 Chicago Sports Fan Message Board - Powered by vBulletin I hope you check it out, we could use some more posters who know what they are talking about

Feel free to use that as a template. :slap:

You got me off Facebook. I'm one of the mods of the Chicago Bulls group.

PSD needs to be wrecked.

Good luck with that. I've been there since 2007...PSD is full of idiots though..There are several good posters...mostly ones who have been there since I joined or before..Many of the newer posted are jsut that..idiots..Obviously doesnt apply to everyone as a few new guys are intelligent posters, but I pay little attention to who is new there.

But, I really cannot stand the Bulls forum there much anymore beyond the off-topic thread, so I really dont know what's going on there.
