    Hmm, good idea sholiz, I will check the cost of running an ad in high times, just for kicks.

    Also, someone reccomended Press Releases? Will this help my site? I don't understand what they are exactly, from what I found online it's like a psuedo-news story in third person?

    I don't think Press Releases is good for you.
    It's when you have something somewhat news worthy.

    http://www.prweb.com/ Look at what others have written.

    Maybe it's just me, but I would be too piss scared to post on a marijuana forum when I know that the FBI could obtain forum IPs from your host. Is there a disclaimer or footer note you can put to let people know you're hosting off-shore and that hypothetical talk of using drugs is legal?

    Wow, you aren't even making any sense kid, I reported you to the mods, but I know that won't do much, so I am taking things into my own hands.

    I highly suggest keeping to yourself from now on, for your own good.

    I love a good argument, but you aren't even making sense or giving me anything to work with!

    Scared of what? It's not illegal to talk about marijuana. I already looked into the laws about this, I am perfectly fine.

    Uh-oh, he's getting upset.

    Can we be expecting thread #3 about your forum by tomorrow night?

    Well, I didn't know it was legal to openly talk about marijuana...and maybe a lot of others don't as well. Perhaps gauge if a lot of other prospective people feel the same way and see if a notice that your forum is 100% legal to use is necessary? After hearing news story after news story about DEA raids, people tend to become a bit paranoid.

    Upset? Wrong, I think your replies are hilarious, all internet assholes are the same, you're nothing new.

    Maybe I wouldn't have to make so many threads, if it wasn't for people like you coming into them and thread crapping? :rolleyes:

    Anyways, to those who have helped, thanks, to Perry, thanks for an interesting night, it definetly gave me a good laugh.

    You can walk up to a cop, and tell them you are high, and they can't do anything about it. It's 100% legal to talk about marijuana, but it is illegal to use it, or condone using it.

    I might add a disclaimer, just to cover my ass in case anything does happen, but after looking at the laws pretaining to my website, I am not really worried.

    Here's a tissue, If you are going to act stupid, what do you expect?

    Did you lose your "bowl"?

    Maybe it's in the walk-in closet.

    Uh-oh....

    Too bad I don't have walk-in closets, right? Good Night Perry. :D

    And dude, the whole walk-in closet joke is old, it's not even funny anymore.

    Hey, did you hear about the moron in the walk-in closet who starts more than one thread on the very same question, even though he has seen the same ol' replies in so many other threads???

    Whew! Talk about a long sentence!

    Must be the "bowl."

    Nice to see that jackass banned.

    Anyways, I was considering creating a blog, and using it to improve seo to my site, but I am not sure how to go about it, should I host it on my site, example chronicforum.com/blog or should I use a free service like blogger and just write the articles and recipes there, and link to my site or something?

    I'd host it on your site, and have a link at the end of each post to a dedicated forum thread for discussions, rather than allowing people to comment on the blog directly. Might get some conversation going.

    LOL you got Perry Rose banned hahahaha!

    That guy is a clueless hater.

    Anyway, on promoting your forum.

    You can open a stoner blog and start writing articles about marijuana. Get a keyword list of the top 100 keywords stoners search for - grow tips, bongs, whatever. Write articles and post them on your blog then build backlinks to your blog. Once your articles start getting rankings you can point these visitors to your forum. You will get new members every day.

    You can also write marijuana related articles and submit to Ezinearticles. Include your forum at the end in your author signature.

    Comment on marijuana related blogs and forums.

    Myspace + Friendblaster Pro (You can use free trial verison) Then while on myspace use the search feature for your keywords and capture their ID's with the friendblaster bot Then add and send messages to your target audience (people who smoke weed) with the friendblaster bot telling them about the forum.

    That is a really good idea, I might try this. Is it easy to use?

    Should I make the refferal contest, or wait til there is more members then make the contest?
