Ways you can help promote Rorta

[DIzzIE]

Just a few ideas to help promote Rorta (some perhaps more obvious than others)?

In the online world:

~ Add the URL to your signature on other forums (assuming it?s allowed), emails, usenet posts, and so on?

~ Submit links to interesting articles we have to so-called social bookmarking sites like fark, del.icio.us, reddit, digg, stumbleupon, and so on. And while you?re at it, submit the site to various free ad aggregators like the ones listed at http://ukulju.tripod.com/freeads.htm (some of the sites only archive the link for a limited time, so you can resubmit it later if it?s already there?)

~ Submit our texts to sites like textfiles.com or parazite.org (just make sure they don?t already have them ;)), with a note at the bottom of the textfile akin to ?for more knowledge visit rorta.net?

~ Link to us on your blog, homepage, AIM profile, etc. Yes, it really is that simple :tongue:.

In the ?real? world:

~ Start writing rorta.net on the edges of all of your currency.

~ Print out some of our texts with a header or footer saying something along the lines of ?for more knowledge visit rorta.net? and leave them near pertinent books (like Abbie?s Steal This Book) in libraries and bookstores, bus stops and busses, infoshops and zine distros, drains (put ?em in Ziploc baggies) and abandoned houses, and so on. If there?s going to be an ?alternative? book fair or whatnot, go ahead and setup a rorta table?:tongue:

~ Print out vaguely enticing flyers with slogans like ?stop paying for shit! Visit rorta.net? and paste them around town (you can also make somewhat more targeted flyers, for instance ?want to know how to get free textbooks?...? and paste them around a nearby college or two.)

Feel free to share your own ideas, just remember to keep it legal :wink:

[Esophagus]

Has Rorta attended any bookfairs to date?

Also, someone should consider designing a standard Rorta flyer and posting it to here. I would volunteer, if my mom hadn't gotten upset at Photoshop CS2 and uninstalled it. If I find time, and no one else bothers, I migth make one and scan it.

[DIzzIE]

Has Rorta attended any bookfairs to date?

Unofficially, in that some of our shit was handed out at last year's Montreal and Maryland bookfairs, but I don't think there's been any formal tabling as of yet :frown:, feel free to change that :tongue:. Montreal's book fair (http://www.anarchistbookfair.ca/), for example, is happening again in about a week.

And yeah, any flyer designs or whatnot are always much appreciated :smile:.

[REL0AD]

I'll make some flyers.

Just give me till tommorow.

I would tag Rorta.net around town but all it would take is for a cop to log on and see my username and they'd have me... The police in my town, like most folks... know me as Rel0ad.


Peace,

*Rel0ad - I use the 0 instead of an O so I don't show up on Google btw, I aint being 'kewl'.

[Esophagus]

I had about an hour to spare in class today, so I made the basics of a Rorta poster (definitely lacking a lot though). Its pretty lame, but hey, I had time to kill. I also made a deck of communism cards. Bah, to much time on my hands. Feel free to do with it as you please. Use it, edit it, etc.

Edit: Original removed.

[DIzzIE]

I definitely dig the beaver anatomy concept :tongue2: . Pending a sharper logo (the R is a wee bit blurry), it'll make a sexy slide-in sheet to stuff between the pages of books n zines...

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

I agree with DiZ on all his points especially the beaver anatomy and slid-in for books and zines and something to stick up on ones community notice boards. 1 suggestion is bolder and larger text maybe even different colour texts to catch the eye?

[Esophagus]

Yeah, as I said, I did it at school. They wouldn't allow me to download any fonts, so I dealt with what I had. Once I find a photoshop torrent that actually works, I planned on doing a little more to it. I was going to go stick it in select books at the library or something.

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Select books?? Just go mad and all in random books.

[S25]

Gimp is nice :)
Yah it is actually really cool. Nice job!

[BlinD]

I think promotion is a good idea, but you should all look at the pro's and con's of the idea instead of just the pro's. A good example is, what if the population on the boards skyrocketed to say 30k members 7k active, would you really want a huge board with tons and tons of posts and what about the quality of the posts, what if the people who pick up the flyer's are totse types? Or worse, what if one of the flyers made it's way into the hands of the fuzz, and the fuzz actually knew how to turn on a computer?

Aside from those con's, what about Doc's hosting fees? It's not like he has advertisments up (which I'm sure most of us appreciate) lets say he has to keep upgrading to accomadate the new pop, that's gonna end up being a fairly big bill at the end of the month.

More people who can bring something to the table either as good thinkers or conversationalist's would be great as long as it didn't become and overwhelming heap full of people who cant hold a conversation and don't really contribute anything (thinks to himself about looking at totse last night)... you guys know what I mean?

Mabye instead of flyer's everywhere, word of mouth to people you think are actually worth the damn would be a better approach. Thoughts?

[headcase]

I thought this forum was locked, or something?

I don't think a flood of shit is an issue because, firstly, I don't think a few select advertisments will make any significant difference, and more importantly they are select advertisments. If you add a flyer to an "underground" book, then they only people who see it are the kind of people who go to a library and check out that kind of book. How many Totse do you think go to libraries, or ever read "books".

As for more broad reaching idea's, like writing it on currency, then do that to. Because how many people are you going to reach that: 1. Are going to bother checking the address you wrote and 2. will be interested in this kind of forum. Very few, but it costs you nothing.

What I wouldn't recommend is advertising on Totse, because their's a high concentration of Totse member there, or so I've heard.

I wouldn't be over concerned about police either. I don't do any of the things I say I do. Except I did kidnap Madeline McCann. She's in my basemant.













Too soon?

Mabye instead of flyer's everywhere, word of mouth to people you think are actually worth the damn would be a better approach. Thoughts?I said select books meaning i would plan to find a copy of "steal this book" or something and stick a copy of the flyer in their. Really I was just bored and thought maybe sometime down the line it would come in handy for something. 30k members? Thats a third of my city. I don't think that many people visit the library, let alone plan on looking into a paper with a dissected beaver on it they find stuffed in a book.

As for the police, theres not a whole lot they could do. Track down ip addresses? Not many of us give out real names or addresses, let alone telling a scenario they say they actually DID.

[DoctaD]

5,642 registered users logged in.
98,213 users total.

These are current member stats of SomethingAwful.com

No matter how much we advertised, we're never going to come close to those numbers. I can't see Rorta ever needing to move from shared hosting, for example.

what about Doc's hosting fees?
The costs are split 50/50 between myself and Stone.

[Esophagus]

Also, I'm sure if we ever had a sudden increase, and needed a durastic upgrade, I am sure more than a couple members would probably be willing to contribute for the sake fo the forum. We have a good thing going here.

Bake sale!

[DoctaD]

When it comes time to pay for hosting again (April 08 IIRC) then donations will be welcome.

[Esophagus]

If we get over 1000 new members who actually post then I will.

[BlinD]

To headcase and Esophagus:

What I said was meant in general, it wasen't targeted at either of you... the aim of my post was to bring in another side to the topic, and I achieved that... but I wasen't pissing on either of you. And as far as totse goes, I wasen't saying lets recruit some of their rejects... I was saying that I woulden't want people like that (in mass) on rorta. Sometimes I check totse out when I'm bored and its mostly just kid's insulting other kid's, that was my point... aside from DIzzIE's stuff and a select few others, there really isn't much appealing material on that site. It's a question of quality over quantity, woulden't you agree?

Police coulden't do much, but as I'm sure some people know... once fuzz decides to get in your ass... It's kind of like some of the threads about run in's over trivial shit like standing around, or walking on the street doing nothing illegal but still getting a cavity search by a closet case "occifer".

The costs are split 50/50 between myself and Stone.

I knew you and Stone were bud's but did not know that, cool shit. Thanks for keeping this bitch up (and I dont mean that kiss ass) I just genuinely like the joint.

I wouldn't be over concerned about police either. I don't do any of the things I say I do. Except I did kidnap Madeline McCann. She's in my basemant. Too soon?

I honestly forgot who she was until you said that, had to think about it for a sec... so many kid's get taken by losers now a days, and you add a media that just says the same crap over and over, you tend to tune it out. Funny though... basement joke's usually are.

Bake sale!

Hell yeah, I gather you will be making "teh special rorta brownies"?

[Esophagus]

I wasn't saying you were pissing on me. I completely agree with your whole argument. I was just saying most of the ways people have used, or tohught of, for promoting rorta, are small time. There's no intention by any serious member to bloat our forums ot get douchebags like the kids from Mitch Clem or Totse. But we can't simply not promote in fear of that. You need new members to keep things alive.

I didn't think anyone really thought I was pissing on them, but just in case I wanted to clarify it to be gentlemanly and all that sort. I completely agree with your points also, smaller level is best and no promotion in fear of any outside elements shoulden't stop the community. The good thing is that this discussion we are having will serve as a damn fine "what to do, what not to do" guideline for future members who join and are thinking about advertising.

You know how some rookie members want to be "gung ho" about this kind of thing, sometimes and end up causing some muck from not thinking it through. Of course, this is assuming that they will actually read the whole damn thread instead of just skimming, hehe.

[headcase]

Group hug!

http://www.wrhs.net/debate/Group_Hug.JPG

So, back to idea's on how to promote Rorta. From my time here, I'd say the scamming section is probably the strongest. Who like's to scam? People short on cash, who have the internet, and are intelligent enough to pull it off. Sounds like college students to me. So, how do we reach them? Via the internet and the real world.

[Stone]

Don't worry about trolls. It's pretty easy to ban. I don't mind having to ban 9 trolls to get 1 good member.

[Esophagus]

Sounds like college students to me. So, how do we reach them?
Facebook. =o
Even my mom has one now. Its out of hand. Try flyers on bulletin boards or just stick them in lockers or door handles. If one out of flyers that goes out brings a member thats probably more than enough.

[S25]

I am going to CCCamp in germany there is this table where you can leave books for others to take and of course take books yourself I will print out some of Dizzies texts and leave them there.

I redid the R, so it looks less pixelated. It was supposed to look stencil, but it ended up looking like shit. I think this one works better. I also noticed that it said "survival" twice, so I editted out the second one. I think its better this time around, and its probably about all I'll do with it. Oh, and I darkened up the colors a bit, it was looking really faded. So use it as you please!

sidenote: don't mind the host. its a really shitty website, but i forgot my jumpdrive, and its the only host my school doesn't have blocked. sad, youd think the name would be to obvious to miss.

[BlinD]

That's definitely the best mindset to have regarding trolls and other "undesirables".

Nice work man, looks damn good. I'm not surprised about your school, pretty hilarious. It's always funny how schools operate, daft is an understatement.

[TWISTED JOKER]

Instead of writing rorta.net on bills or making flyers I think we should be more selective. Maybe we should all recruit users from other forums, just pm them or something. I think rorta should be more of an elite and informed forum. If we do this we can ensure that we don't end up being like totse.

[Stone]

That would be considered spamming... I would ban anybody doing that here (unless you are a contributing member and the message is posted in interest and not advertising) and I would expect an admin on another forum to ban persons doing it there for the same reason.

[Esophagus]

I think when he said usersh em eant SELECT users, as in just the users we know and like.

[goldilox]

But seriously guys, I remember when we were a .com and worried about becoming like totse and it hasn't happened yet. That was 3 years ago. It's still a great community.

That's great, nice one. :joint:

[Esophagus]

That's great, nice one. :joint:
Thanks, I'm back to school next week, with plenty of time to kill. I am working on a layout for a pamphlet once all of the articles are back up. And I think I might make that whole anatomy thing into a whole series. Maybe a brain, other animals, etc.

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Dunno if DiZ posted it on here but he did at BS and that was writing the site on currency(notes).:smileysex

[Esophagus]

I just started a poster of a birds anatomy. I'll try and make this one a little better, possibly a pamphlet. If anyone actually cares.

[kspn]

One Idea I had is to just write www.RORTA.net inside textbooks you plan to sell back and then the next person to get the textbook will see it. I just did the thing with writing www.rorta.net on all my paper bills.

[crazy white guy]

Im sorry to be the guy who brings up old threads but heres my question

would it attract too many kewls if i were to post the site in a bathroom stall?

i was thinking of putting a writeup on how to do whatever evil deed and laminating to a bathroom stall.

apart from the idea of writing rorta.net on currency (which would make it not accepted in canada) i was thinking of bombing murals saying rorta.net on large walls visible to bus stations and public routes

I have said before that i would like rorta to have a bigger user base and i think that i should be the one to expand it

i think we should also start a new sticky thread where we post various ways we promoted rorta

[Th0r]

Firstly for the real Kewls it won't matter, because they will get Pwned. Either by their own stupidity or by someone else...

TILK0987654321 is an example of this. He was pwned by both his own stupidity and the intelligence of other members...

An idea that I gained from a poster was a Rorta Rizla. At a festival I gave several Rizlas away with Rorta.Net written on them...

Another way would be to create a signature with your forum user name and the Rorta URL and the bottom of the Sig, hyperlinking to the site of course. The signature would be in Image format... If anyone wants one produced I have some spare time... PM me.

[odin_dax]

Who was TILK? and did I help "pwn" him?

[Th0r]

That guy who made the Lethal Chemical thread?

Yea, I think you helped give him a Reality Check...

[odin_dax]

That guy who made the Lethal Chemical thread?

Awesome.

[Th0r]

In his 'wurdz'; yea it wuz...

[Esophagus]

I see the beaver was taken down from imagehosting... Decided I might make a few more. I started with a simple one, because I'm crazy bigger. I tried to make it big enough so that you can use it for a small poster, a book insert, or size it down for a signature on other forums or websites.

With 1st one would have moved the drugs heading to the brain lol.

[Th0r]

Try this for size.

Before you say you can't see the T in NeT, any intelligent users will figure it out, and they are the ones we want...

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Nice.

I cant see the T in Net!!

j/k mate i had to.

[iceman69]

I would buy some rorta t-shirts ........... Mmmmm hey thats a good idea

[crazy white guy]

the rorta logo at the top left would look good on a hat

[iceman69]

first we need to get to the right crowd. Strike a deal with zig zag and put the rorta logo on rolling papers. And give them away. I prefer mine stuffed when you send me mine! Or a rorta line of bongs or chemistry set...... Either way it's a great site and I wouldnt change a thing. What the heck does RORTA mean anyways? The best promotion I feel would be print media like playboy classifieds. Or soldier of fortune mag. I always marveled at trafic generated from magazine classifieds per dollar spent. We could make care packages for inmates with the fashionable rorta logo and url for future rorta enrollee's in our community.
Some very good ideas,scams and underground information is concocted behind prison walls.
Thats what happens when people have nothing to do 24 hrs a day. I think the best promotion is content period. The people who will share usefull information and original ideas will promote rorta more than anything. People are all searchg for current up to date information. Not outdated information no loger viable to use rendering it useless. Sharing information is the backbone and largest promotional tool for this site. So do share and for godsake's
Share how cards can be turned to cash in my thread under scams n crime! Just kidding



ice

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

I like the idea of a RORTA bong line lol.

[crazy white guy]

sweet ideas. I wouldnt mind ordering a crate of custom made rolling papers with the rorta url on them.

[Th0r]

Comments?

[crazy white guy]

Good. But i think we should have a more professional banner for things like forum sigs and personal pages. Maybe one in each general color scheme (B&W, red, green, trippy ect.) But that one is good and will be put on my page until something awesomer is done.

[RoundElephant]

I think someone should create a banner that people can add to their myspace/facebook. I would very much like one.

[crazy white guy]

thats really good... but it shows up a bit weird on my monitor. It might also happen on other monitors too. Maybe you could center it a bit more, scale the lettering a bit larger and have a really faded 'RORTA' in the background.

[RoundElephant]

Thanks Thor it looks great on my myspace.

[crazy white guy]

just put it on my nexopia page

[Th0r]

No problem guys! Glad to see you folks are making use of it...

CWG, I'll take your advice on board for the next one I make!

Yea I like that. I can see that as the front cover for any manifesto we publish.

Apologies for any screw ups - I'm posting from my phone while driving. I attached a flyer example... or attempted to.

Sorry about that. =) Let's try again.

Cool, thanks.

Rorta really should write a book. Seriously, we could get people like Death to write simple instructions on some explosives, if Vinipooh wants to tell us how to make those tools then we could have that in there, too. Like a modern AC, but good.

That would get us a lot of new users.

[jrauls]

How possible is it to write stuff on Hacking for people who don't know shit about it?

(Edit: By that I mean SQL injections and stuff that people can have fun with, without having to study for a couple of years)

Well recently I've been working on the Th0r/Rorta PDF due for release in January. 1.0 will have approximately 100 or so pages, along with a folder incorporating other PDFs, Link files as well as videos and images.

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Mhmm whats your meth synth th0r? is it tested an true? is it easy or a lot of fucking around? How safe is the Synth an reactions?

[Th0r]

I know this is seriously off topic. My apologies.

The Methamphetamine Synthesis is a slight variation on what is known as the 'Nazi Synthesis'. This won't be on the edition released next year. I've started on it but there are other articles of a higher priority.

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Pity i wouldnt mind having a safe and easy synth for meth stored in my head an HD.

[Th0r]

There is no easy method for synthesising Methamphetamine. The chemicals required are now widely restricted and vast amounts of costly equipment is also needed. It can be perfectly safe provided you have a knowledge of the what to do and what not to do.

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Sorry maybe i should have clarified easy as something with not as many steps involved, less range of "vital" chemicals and precursors needed and can be accurately down/up scaled.

Not like cooking a cake easy.

[Vein]

I think an inspiring introduction is just as/if not more important than the information within. The masses see little reason to incorporate Rortarian ideas into their lives, and without inspiration, education is of zero importance, other than to be a more efficient tool for the man. Besides, as long as the internet persists in its relatively unrestricted form, information is readily available already.

(Edit: By that I mean SQL injections and stuff that people can have fun with, without having to study for a couple of years)

Mmm. I'm not much into the "hacking" scene. To some extent, I do. But it isn't found in programming exploits - it's usually dealing with Social Engineering and exploiting people into install trojans.

I could always do write ups for virus writing, some basic Batch, AutoIt, VBScripts... the simple stuff for "teh n00bs." =) Could also do tutorials for using trojans like Sub7, ProRAT, and others.

As far as SQL injections, and the like, I could always read up on it. Learning something new never hurt anyone.

It's all very good saying that but how do you suggest we - Rorta inspire?

[Stone]

The new Rorta.net banner also has a fist rising in it :-)

I'm back working on the main site after a break for a year or so. Things have been quite hectic for me. All will be revealed soon.

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Hey stone glad to see you back mate.

Are we Rortarians or Rortans(like spartans).

[Vein]

It's all very good saying that but how do you suggest we - Rorta inspire?

The outline has the 'how', but I think a 'why' is as necessary. Inspiring is easy if you can write and your reasons are logical and backed up with data. I have knowledge I think should inspire people, but it is you writing it as of now.


Beliefs I'm going to generalize as Rortarian:

Anti-censorship.
Educate yourself.

These seem like they're most important and should be discussed throughout.


And maybe:

Pro-drug experimentation except the harsher ones I guess.
Light gun regulation.

However I think controversial ones like above should be separated (in a conclusion/introduction/philosophy section) from the actual information in order to broaden the audience.


:Thinkingo just my two cents...



Are we Rortarians or Rortans(like spartans).

They both sound awesome. :hmmm:

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

Rortans sounds like were are going wrought some one lol(huge steal)

[Stone]

Beliefs I'm going to generalize as Rortarian:

...



I think the point of Rorta is that there are no set collective beliefs and that everyone is welcome to their own.

Maybe we should publish a really nice looking booklet with the basics of what we have learned in our discussions on rorta. A simple 6 page booklet with short writeup on things like how to synth acetone peroxide and AN + fuel oil explosives. Just a bunch of things that are tried and true and will spur interest enough that some people with notice Rorta and contribute a bit.

Much more to the point would be to publish stuff that other forums lack and that we have. For instance the Netflix Hack and if someone were to put together say a similar hack or revolutionary scam then we are talking.

Ever heard of the USB Hacksaw, Switchblade, or Pocket-Knife?

http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showforum=20

Basically it's a program, or a collection of programs, that are installed on U3 flash drives. What it does is when your USB drive is inserted, the U3 autorun feature runs your programs, and depending on what options you have enabled it can:

- Copy computer information and files to your USB
- Install VNC, trojans, and/or keyloggers
- Show you user information, such as passwords and usernames
- Copies the hack program to the computer, and installs on any U3 flash drives inserted after yours. Basically a worm.

And things like that. Should we start a thread for a "Rortan" USB hack? I could write one, if the community would like.


Just a thought.

I think the point of Rorta is that there are no set collective beliefs and that everyone is welcome to their own.

true everyone is welcome to their own beliefs and encouraged to share, that's why i put anti-censorship.

and what we take from our diverse, sometimes informative, posts is education.


the other generalizations are solely up to Th0r, they just seem like common beliefs on rorta.


To jrauls: i'd love to start a flash drive worm at my school

[Th0r]

JRauls, if you can produce a decent looking and accurate tutorial thread that could bring some attention to Rorta please do go ahead!

Just don't get yourself caught. ;)

Alright, I'll begin writing a USB Hack specifically for Rorta, and write up a tutorial this week whenever I have time off from work.

[torcher]

Hey stone glad to see you back mate.

Are we Rortarians or Rortans(like spartans).

Rortians(like martians)

Hahaha i will pay that its pretty cool.

[Th0r]

I was bored.

Haha! Nice. :)

say it out loud, it rolls off the tongue better than rortans, or rortarians etc.

Well recently I've been working on the Th0r/Rorta PDF due for release in January. 1.0 will have approximately 100 or so pages, along with a folder incorporating other PDFs, Link files as well as videos and images.

I'll see what people make of it and there's bound to be some errors anyways...

This is just a list of the primary contents page giving you an idea of what it's about.
That's basically what I was going to write, although I've been away for the past week. Maybe I'll write something similar later, and we'll all agree on something suitable.
There is no easy method for synthesising Methamphetamine. The chemicals required are now widely restricted and vast amounts of costly equipment is also needed. It can be perfectly safe provided you have a knowledge of the what to do and what not to do.

REL0AD said he'd made meth before. Ask him. I don't think it's that hard to make, just dangerous if you rush it.

The new Rorta.net banner also has a fist rising in it :-)

I'm back working on the main site after a break for a year or so. Things have been quite hectic for me. All will be revealed soon.

The suspense! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Also, I think the Rorta slogan is redundant, it's just the same thing twice, although with a couple of synonyms. Maybe "Information is power; Knowledge is Freedom"?

The outline has the 'how', but I think a 'why' is as necessary. Inspiring is easy if you can write and your reasons are logical and backed up with data. I have knowledge I think should inspire people, but it is you writing it as of now.


Beliefs I'm going to generalize as Rortarian:

Anti-censorship.
Educate yourself.

These seem like they're most important and should be discussed throughout.


And maybe:

Pro-drug experimentation except the harsher ones I guess.
Light gun regulation.

However I think controversial ones like above should be separated (in a conclusion/introduction/philosophy section) from the actual information in order to broaden the audience.


:Thinkingo just my two cents...



They both sound awesome. :hmmm:
I don't think we should put opinions in there, just fact. We could write a small speil (sp?) about how Rorta is devoted to freedom of information at the beginning, but not too much.
Much more to the point would be to publish stuff that other forums lack and that we have. For instance the Netflix Hack and if someone were to put together say a similar hack or revolutionary scam then we are talking.

Has LLLoody sucessfully revived that?

Looks good, I have little chemsistry and weapons knowledge.
So if I can help, please ask away.

Your offer of help is graciously accepted. If I need to call upon you, I will.

.VX - Thanks for the idea for more chapters.

[.VX]

Yeah, I think we should focus on small stuff that just everyone can and will do. Not large scale crime and stuff like that. Maybe something on Dumpster Diving too.

The Version of the PDF that will be released soon will have a limited amount of large scale features and more on small scale articles, such as production of Thermite, Etc.

"The PDF"?

Is this a Rorta PDF, or a Th0r PDF?

[Th0r]

"The PDF"?

A combination of both. I haven't got a name for it yet and I'm open to any contributions or ideas, and as I'm referencing to a huge amount of threads that are on Rorta, that's what I mean when I say a combination.

Also I'm linking to the site heavily so...

By the way .VX, the fist image you created - Can I use it for a link to Rorta?

I'll send you [And anyone else.] it so you can check it out if you want.

[.VX]

Sure, that's why I made it.

[Th0r]

Sure, that's why I made it.

In that case I'll use it for the Rorta advertisement at the bottom of the latest edition of The Criminal Rules.

[.VX]

Cool. I'll post the image of the fist I used and where to download the font later.

[.VX]

The first image is the filtered one I used, and the second is the original photo.

The font can be downloaded here (http://www.fontparadise.com/download.php?id=537).

[Acid44]

i'll pick up a permanent marker and some spraypaint later and start doin some "advertising" in my neiboring city :)

i'll see it i can print off some flyers too :)

[.VX]

If some cops see it and go on here, then they'll know it was you.

[Acid44]

yea, i thought of that after i posted XD

i made a flier instead, i'll print a few dozen copies when i get a chance, it isn't in anyway the best i can do but i havent slept in 2 days and i'll probably make a better one once i get home so cut me some slack XD

and i remembered to save the PSD for once, so i'll be able to do different color themes and make changes :p

How's the book going?

I have been thinking baout finishing my home brew alcohol guide and giwing it as a material to the book.

[Th0r]

I've added and edited a small amount of content and I don't think it will be released as I had hoped next year. I think a late 2009 release date is far better...

Feel free to PM me a link to the guide or whatever.

[Mr.A]

I'm not trying to bump an old thread but I was going to make a thread on ways of making Rorta more popular and after a quick search I saw this. We've thought of reaching out to our local communities with flyers but is there anyother way to get it out onto the net that we exist? Advertising to other sites sure, but we would have to offer them something to advertise us. What would we offer?

There has to be something we can do to make our presence known but I am not anywhere near creative enough to figure it out. Please help?!:dunno:

EDIT: I just realized I was able to post in a section of the forum that should not be accessible for me to post in. Sorry!

[.VX]

You just don't have permission to post new threads, but you can still reply to old ones.

Assuming that money's out of the question, then we could just offer to post a link to a site on ours if they do the same for us. There could be a "Friends of Rorta" panel.

Oh ok thanks for the info .VX. Thats a keen idea! I'll start getting in touch with old friends who host websites asap.

[.VX]

Wait for DD or Stone to agree first. Also what sites are they?

[REL0AD]

REL0AD said he'd made meth before. Ask him. I don't think it's that hard to make, just dangerous if you rush it.

Who is it that needs assistance?

[.VX]

It was for an eBook that we wanted to write.

[Mr.A]

I'm not familiar with their sites anymore, its been way too long since I've even spoke with them. But I'm sure if I got back in touch they wouldn't mind. Mostly gaming information sites probably, I'll just have to see.

[thief]

When I get a few bob together im getting a few T-shirts done up. I will post a pic when done. I will have a few made and spread the word in Brasil. :love:

But could be something everyone could do... go to a t-shirt print press (you know the ones in shopping centers that make em up for hen nights) and get one done for a few quid. Doesnt have to be fancy... just rorta.net or something.
Easy AND cheap.

[Acid44]

$84 worth of free advertising, i want my cookie now.

and it's being spent tommorow sometime, so it's free AND quick advertising :p
