You created your own country? Here I was thinking you were just advertising a website.

We usually are very welcoming to new members. It's just a very bad idea on any forum to try to pull members from a forum to another forum. There's really never any benefit to the other member to join a forum created by other people, those site rarely ever take off. It's especially a bad idea to do so within your first few posts, makes a very bad impression and it's typical spambot/spammer behaviour.

The name also just reeks of the 12 year old gamur xD roflolmao 1337 h34d5h4w7 type.

to be honest idc if u like my gamertag or not im 23 and have had it and like it...what makes anyone here think theres is any better...even if u dont like my tag, be a little bit more respectful to people...and my site is not a forum therefore it has nothing to do with "pullin" anyone from here. This is a forum..my site is for tournaments blogging and meeting gamers to play with...nothing to do with what this forum does and its purpose...if u wanna join a comunity theres my site...if u dont thats ok to...dont sit here bashing my gamertag like 5 year olds.

We've had a lot of problems with spammers, so postS from new members advertising a site will always be greeted with suspicion. If you're legit, no problem, but be sure that your contributions to the forum go beyond just advertising your site. That is considered spam even if it's unintentional.

That being said, play nice people :D

Ha, if you're gunna be legit, then I'm sorry. Your username is wonderful and amazing. ;)

I've had a chance to look at the site, want a bit of constructive criticism? Tough, you're getting it ;P

Doesn't look like you're using WordPress - It's Joomla right? But there should be a 'Read More' tag equivelant. Ensure the first paragraph for your news items is extremely small, nice neat, tidy, eye catching title.

Remove the 'donate' segment from the footer. No one's gunna donate, spamming it at the bottom of the page will cheapen your site.

Also, the header background image could merge into the bg a bit better,

But that's about it. Soz for being a dick. Take it easy Carlos :)

Dear god why is everyone being so mean to the new member? When people start acting like this to new members who haven't really done anything wrong is when forums start to die because people leave and less people join :(. He didn't do anything wrong geez what ever happened to our maturity :huh:

I agree, this could have been handled and addressed better. It's not just a matter of the new member himself getting put off, but potential members might read this and be put off. Ultimately, we want to be welcoming to new members and encourage them to contribute in a positive manner. If someone is spamming or you believe them to be violating forum rules, please report them and let the mods deal with it. Responding in a way that attacks or provokes them to argue can only lead to problems.

@Andsy - behave yourself, boy! Don't let your rascally ways bring the Gentlemen's Club into disrepute :p
