There are many of us on Arqade who would very much like to offload some of the "lore" questions here, so advertising there would definitely be good. – Mark Trapp

I've posted on Arqade about this issue, here.

Can anyone design a decent ad for them/us?

Some guidelines:

  1. We'd like 6 upvotes before putting it forward to their ad thread.
  2. We'd like you to link to a relevant question this site.

  • I can try. What did you want it to look like?

    Someone absolutely MUST do an ad with the words "All your lore question are belong to us!". (perhapes prefixed with "somebody set us up a SciFi&Fantasy Stack Exchange site"

    And, just to piss off everyone who doesn't hate OLD memes: "I used to not know where to get answers to my lore questions. But then I took an SFF.SE arrow to the knee". </troll>

    I think referencing a specific question (with a topical image and text) would be more useful in hooking people.

  • @Pureferret A suggestion? To change the link?

  • Yeah, though only a suggestion, linking to the tags should be ok too.

  • @Pureferret I am ok with whatever link seems best. If/when it hits 6 UV feel free to use whichever you want when copying it to Arqade.

    I don't know about others, but I feel that it needs a visual indication on it that it's for a different site. I'd see that and just assume it's something meaningless like those "web awards" or something saying "hey, Gaming.SE is cool!"

    I think first we should up-vrte it though.

  • It should be gaming related. This is LOTR, not primarily a game.

  • @Pureferret: Makes sense. Although it should apply to all suggestions. It should be in the OP.

  • I'm a nit-picking monster sometimes and you are allowed to tell me to shut up, but the text doesn't seem properly aligned in the upper text. Nit-pick #2: triple dots must be preceded by a space. Having said all that: I bloody love this!
