Now would be a good time to start sharing the new forum link.

If you post at other sites, feel free to include links to this forum and to feature threads you think are interesting.

It's time to expand!

Will do. I found this place because there was a link posted on a blog entry at Hillary's official campaign site... and you guys have been stuck with me ever since! :eek::D

Spreading a link around political blogs, forums, comments on articles, etc. is a very effective method. :thumbsup:

I retweeted a tweet that included a link to one of the Palin resignation threads last night.

Also, I'm going to advertise the following message via Twitter:

Believe it or not, that bit.ly url gets you here.

I just tweeted the message. If my calculations are correct, we should be introduced to 988 new members tonight. 987 if Ashton Kutcher is busy. Also, some of them may be in the adult entertainment industry.

I hope Ashton Kutcher is not busy. ;)

And aren't we all looking forward to that, lol!

Any thoughts as to where those of us who don't tweet can start spreading the word? It would be great to have a list of the urls of political blogs and forums.

Should we go outside the political realm? What about the web sites of politicians we admire, as long as there's a place for comments?

Spang, I like your plug for the forum. Can I borrow it?

Yes. For 4 easy installments of $19.95 and 1 complicated installment of 20 bucks.

I find the middle one a little easier on the eyes as well.

#1 is easier for me to read. Maybe it's the differentiation between caps and lower case.

Makes no difference to accessing the site (all go to the same place!), but it's an important issue in terms of "promotion" - deciding how to present the address.
