I am Dane Vaninc. This is a pseudonym: the internet is a crazy place.

I am registering on Warrior to try to extend a little bit of life into what has been hitherto a one man barbaric show.

I also registered with some specific goals, namely, to post a thread about sharing a platform I've developed, as well as enlist the friendships of other people--that's human beings--who understand that the only way to see the whole picture is to climb stairs or stand on the outside looking in.

Having created, developed, and run a large (68,000 member) forum myself, it's refreshing to relinquish the Admin tag--and the persona-- to be once again my grammatically behaved self.

I have an unallocated summer to rest my programmatic mind. I plan on pursuing the things I once enjoyed, but have long since let go to the wayside.

As they say:

Let his actions speak louder than his words.

Look forward to meeting other talented people.

    Welcome to the forum Dane. Congrats on running such a large forum. Do you have any suggestions for folks who might be looking to start a forum? Specifically methods to gain more users?

    Well I'll tell you:

    The majority of the growth of that forum was the result of one viral event which occurred between april-august of last year.

    I use VBSeo, but I think beyond changing showthread.php?id=xxxx into /forums/wow-this-is-a-really-optimized-seo-thread-title, it's just another optimization tool, not growth tool.

    I guess what I am saying is that, I wish I had had an AWeber account and been list building on those sites during those viral events. Christ. I can't even imagine how large the list would be.

    But again, I was much a product of serendipity in the first place, and only began to learn what I needed to learn as evidence arose that I needed to know these things!
