Okay could you guys do me a favor so we can maybe attract some more writers?

Click on this link
http://rpggateway.com/cgi-bin/wyrm/sear ... ry=shaddin

And then do the following two things. First, click on the link to thar shaddin. They count hits for some reason so you actually have to go to thar from their site to count as a hit. Then hit the back button on your browser and rate us (preferably a 5?).

I'm going to go on another advertising spree soon. Haven't done it in a while, but this will help. Thanks.

You DO know that's TECHNICALLY cheating, right?

Don't shout, I did it already, I was just curious.
I have to jump.

For even if I fall, for a moment, I will fly.

Cool, I've been looking for a website that had some sort of quality control, and a top site is sufficent. There aren't very many for rping...

I'll vote everyday for TS! Yay! :mrgreen:

Mmm. I don't think it's technically cheating. Technically, as long as we all follow their explicit rule to only vote once a day, we're not cheating.

I hear what you're saying though, sort of. The measure of hits isn't supposed to be a measure of hits people make on purpose. But c'mon. Why would you rank sites based on how many random people decide to click on the ad spot?

Also: If people click more you get ranked higher so your ad gets more exposure so you get more clicks so you get ranked higher so you get more exposure so you get more hits...

In the end it's the only way to get ranked. I wouldn't set it up this way.

Haha, ice. You posted 1 minute before me...

Yeah RPG gateway and their sister sites are the best service out there when it comes to PbP stuff. It's not great, they could use a lot of work, but it's the best I've found.

Vote for us every day omg YAAAAAAY!

Neither can I and that's very strange. I hope it isn't because someone was trying to vote too much on the same day. *coughs*
