    I appreciate your informative post Perry Rose. I started using digg today well have to wait and see what results it brings in. I was looking at your link, "How the Big Sites", would this help my site? Wasn't sure if it was more towards websites that are making money.

    So far I've spent

    $15 on forum posting to jump start OOM
    $25 on one month rights to advertise on off-topic through signature link and thread
    $9 on manual submission to directories and search engines

    $49 Total out of $200

    Have been really busy over the past month so havn't really been able to do much promoting other then facebook here and there. I still try and create atleast 5-10 new threads ever few days to keep discussion up. Activity has leveled off lately and it seems like everytime before we get a few new active members, others stop posting. Has started to get really anoying. Have been hovering around 20 active members per day over the past month without an increase.

    Have been really busy lately and have been neglecting the site a bit. Trying to get it back on track and going to start a huge recruitment phase next week. Will hopefully be able to get the members to help out
