Well I was kind of kidding, but I suppose I'll make sure not to do that.
In slightly related news, I updated the Twilight Heroes thread in the KoL forums. You guys really should post your support there if you haven't already, it's a great way to gain publicity with a big group people who we all know enjoy the genre. The thread has 2,000 views or so and 60 posts already.

Honestly, until I've been around for half a year and half thirty thousand more players, it's probably going to get deleted constantly until someone becomes convinced TH is "important" enough to be listed. I think this is a case where spamming them at this point is only likely to make them upset. Rather than spend a lot of time ticking them off, I think our efforts should be focused elsewhere.
Oh, gosh. Sorry. I thought he would have talked to some folks and posted a few somewhere. Haven't seen him in a while, though.

I'm working on some banner ads. I've got a couple going.
I think the first is okay, but it doesn't quite get the humor across, and it also fails to mention the game is free to play, which I think will have a lot of appeal. Or that it's an RPG.
The second is better, in part because it mentions the free and the RPG. It's also a bit more humorous, though at least one person has suggested it may not be clear from the line that the pajamas are your starting equipment, and may lose something.
Any feedback is welcome.

Interesting old thread from KoL that was dug up. Simple posters with tear tags for people to post in likely places. I know The_3 did a poster for us. I don't know if that one ever saw any place on the real world. I wonder if something simpler, like the ones here, and with the functionality of tear sheets as done here, might be a good thing to try?

A couple of notes:
1) I've been exploring Project Wonderful, and after the first week it looks like it's going to be effective. Though she hasn't logged in for quite a while, (in Dumbledore voice) ten silver stars to Huffle--er, Rantinan for being the first to suggest it!
2) Twilight Heroes has been listed on Top Web Games. Anybody who feels so inclined is encouraged to register a vote for the game, so that people will know how good it is. http://www.topwebgames.com
3) I'd like to start working on some kind of physical Twilight paraphernalia. I'm thinking maybe a T-shirt or two, and perhaps doing it as a contest. Get the gears churning in your heads, and keep an eye out for a thread about it in a day or two.

Sole legend: points taken. I did have that information on the What Is Twilight Heroes link, which is itself pretty prominent, but I've moved up the "free, browser-based" information on that page, as well as adding a line to the home page.
Also took the opportunity to add some randomized humorous taglines to the top of the page, and to do a little visual cleanup.

Heh. I suggested Top Web Games ages ago. Can I have some silver too?
Seriously though, if you really want to pimp it, you should be able to include a link that will take players directly to the captcha for TH.

Yeah, I've shot down referrals a couple of times in this thread alone. Just encourages creating tons of junk accounts, and then leads into the temptation of multi abuse, perhaps. Also, someone inevitably pulls annoying stunts to trick people into following their links, like misleading sig lines and such.
It would be nice, because I'd love to reward people who genuinely do spread word about the game, but it's not reliable to try to track.
