Sorry about so many topics but how exactly do I get people to see my team?

I want my team to be seen, my team is awesome team 2000.I search in the pages and can't find it! besides going to my teams how do I find it?!

The teams that stay on the first 5 pages are the ones that are active, or in other words, actually get posted in. When a post is made in a team it knocks it up to the first team on the first page, the as others post in their teams the other team gets knocked down. So all in all, the teams that stay on the first few pages are the ones that most frequently get posted in. If you wish to increase your team's activity advertise, become popular, post a lot. When I say advertise I mean like put the link to it in your sig and advertise in threads that some teams have set just for advertising. Just don't make topics for the sole purpose of advertising your team in the Forums, those topics will be closed.

Yeah np. But why the question mark? Is there something you didn't understand? 3 or more words in every post in the forums please.

I think it is, that after your team goes off those 5 pages, you can find them by searching in the topics, such as general , game and others. the teams are listed alphabetically, so go to 801-900 for teams that begin with T. i think that might answer the question ^_^

First of all I understand perfectly and quertyuio you double posted

I didn't double post, I actually had to delete one of your posts which is in between mine. -_-

What was that post like cause I don't remember.

"Ummmm....thanks?"

Was it.

That was in the team disscusion wasn't it?

Nah, it was in this thread, it's just that your team's post was similar.

...Alright. You guys amaze me sometimes.

To find ANY team you have joined, simply click your Bio. By the bottom right, you will find them. Your team/s will be the first one/s. For faster access, simply Bookmark it. Fixt'.

Oh well 2 questions. 1:who amazes you more me or the other guy? 2: Oh darn i frogot.

1: I amaze me more than Vasco is amazed by Qwer.

2: Vas, small grammar probz.

If you want possible plural, it's team(s), not team/s


See me? See Vasco? See the other weird guy? We've gained a certain amount of popularity and respect on the site. Therefore, it's easier for people to be convinced for anything from us than it would be from a new member.

Here's the two main problems for team popularity:

a) In moderation, if you want to be noticed by the moderating team or forum people, you must be respected. In T&C, it's purely about popularity. No respect is really needed.
b) There are certain people who ONLY post in teams and clans. This causes a small dilemma:

Well known and respected members on the FORUMS might be almost completely unknown for MANY of the members who frequent teams. This means that if you are even the MOST known member on the forums and you make a team, you should expect that you might have a small team because you aren't particularly popular within the teams.

It works the other way as well. If you are well known in T&C, but are completely unknown to people who frequent the Forums, such as almost ALL of the members in this topic with a low post count (You'll probably know that waffersforever, Ninetailed Fox and Forgotten_Scars post alot in teams, yet have BARELY a post count on the forums), are completely unknown to the people in the forum community, unless the members of the forum are in teams alot.

In raises the third problem, that probably many popular "burrows" (My term for people who ONLY post in teams) don't realize. Many burrows want to one day moderate the teams and clans that they hold so dear to themselves.

^ A note to them. If they don't have any respect on the FORUMS (since T&C respect means absolutely nothing in this sense), they will NEVER have a shot in modding the teams. Why? The most common reason being, you have to be a mod on the forums to be a mod on the teams. At least, that's how it is most of the time. The second reason, if regular members are legible to be mods, is because in order for a burrow to be a team mod, they have to be nominated by a current staff member who frequents teams. Obviously, not too many mods frequent teams, and the ones who do, also frequent forums (of course).

What are the odds of being nominated AND accepted as a team mod? Close to none. Why? Because the majority of staff on the forums tend to stay away fro the teams. Of the 150(ish) mods we have on the forums, probably, oh, say, 20-30 are actively posting and checking up on the Staff Forum for situations. Of those 20 people, only 10 are active in teams. And of the 10 that are semi-active in teams, maybe 1 or 2 are (keyword) popular in teams.

Take this for instance:

Vasco: Medium sized team. VERY respected and well known on the forums.
-T&C popularity: 4/10.
Qwer: Smallish team, also well known and respected on the forums.
-T&C popularity: 2/10.
Waffersforever: HUGE, GIANT team. He's completely unknown on the forums, however, therefore giving him zero people who are almost always on the forums and rarely in teams who respect him as a member (Other than people who frequent both forums and teams) and has no member of staff watching him, thinking, "He'll make a good T&C mod...".
-T&C popularity: 10/10.


Point being, if you just want to be popular in teams and make your own team big, you'll be spending the next 20 thousand posts you make in the teams of other members. If you want to ever MOD the teams, you'll need to gain that respect that you have there, over here.


As a fast wrapup, just note: None of the T&C mods have huge teams. Almost none of the T&C mods are "popular" in teams, and the burrows out there never have a chance at making a T&C mod.

A few typos as well, Taylor.

Bookmarked for awesomeness, nevertheless. Too much time on your hands?

The only typo I see is "wrapup".

I knew you'd bookmark it the moment somebody finally said you were respected.

Bookmarked. xD

You see that was awesome just cause you said everything regarding stuff like that that's been littered throughout the forums and T&C, but never really combined. But yeah, Taylor is right, accept for the T&C mods, and a few others, the T&C and Forums communities are completely different. A forum poster in T&C has no leverage unless he/she is mod of T&C, and the other way around.

Like me. :(

Though not many people may know me nowadays as they would've a year ago.

super star 64, I have only one thing to say. It appears as if in the video games section of our forums, you've been bumping quite a bit of topics, and breaking other rules countless times. I ask you to stop this now. If you continue after my post, I will ban you for a week. mmk?

...I don't know what to say to this...
Am I a 'burrow'?

wow, that was amazing... and true. im speechless
