The Elder Stats

Placing a link to a site in your signature on the UESP breaks their rule about advertising.

It's a shame that the UESP won't allow links to be placed in signatures. However, we can have our members place a link to The Elder Stats in their profiles on the UESP in the "Website" area. That would be a nice start. Afterall, Angerfist, didn't you join The Elder Stats by following a link in Teinaava's UESP profile?

By the way, I don't know how many of you have heard this, but we're going to be working on creating Stat Cards, which are images that you can place in your signature on forums, and those images contain several statistics for one of your characters, and then it has a link to The Elder Stats on the bottom of the image. When people see our members with stat cards for their characters in their signatures, they might be interested in getting stat cards for their own characters, and then they can go to the URL on the stat card and register on The Elder Stats. I still have many other ideas for recruitment, and input from others is always much appreciated.

DId I say sig? Sorry I meant in the profile thats how I found this site, on Tainaava's profile.

Oh cool! I want one! I want one!

Captain Carmine is ready to lead his troops to victory.

The Stat Cards seem to be drawing a lot of attention to The Elder Stats, like I had hoped, because we have seen a soaring amount of new members since the introduction of Stat Cards.

Now, I want to determine some more ways that we can get even more new members onto The Elder Stats. The main thing about a website like this is that many people would love to use this website, however those people just don't know that it exists! That's the hardest part about a good website like The Elder Stats - a lot of people would love to use it if they knew that it existed. Well, we need to spread the word some more to let people know The Elder Stats is out there for their use! The Stat Cards have been working well up to this point, and I thank all those who have placed their Stat Cards in their signatures on various other forums; you have helped out our recruiting effort immensely. Now it's time to kick it up a notch. If anyone has any new recruitment ideas, please feel free to express them here. I'm thinking of even making a special rank for members who come up with good recruitment ideas, or who recruit the most new members to The Elder Stats. Remember - creating multiple accounts is against the rules, so we need to recruit brand new individual members to The Elder Stats.

Your contributions to recruitment are greatly appreciated, guys!

i will post lodes of stuff on facebook.

I think it's time we do some serious recruiting. I've been busy lately, but I still want to recruit new members because I know that, once The Elder Stats gets a large member base, it will become much more active. If anyone has any recruitment ideas, please throw them on the table. I will try to think up some new ideas and post them here as soon as I can.

Let's make cards and slide them in gaming magazines.

No, but seriously. We should find many different Oblivion forums and post this stuff. I want it to eventually be where when you type in "Oblivion Stats" on Google, and our site is the first to come up.

If you can, the official Bethesda forums would be a good start, considering that the majority of the people there have played Oblivion.
