Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

As for affiliating, you ask an admin if you can affiliate with the Temple, then we deliberate about it in the admin cave and tell you yes or no.

And, yes, luck is definitely a part of getting members. The chief way of getting members is luck and timing. And I was going to do a Spanish Inquisition joke but lost interest.

Also, I understand that you probably have admin validation to watch out for hacking, but that also makes it tough for new members to join. A lot of times, people will see "validation required? Screw that," and not bother, or else join, but then forget about it when they don't get IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION.

You could have a forum where validating users can post, so they don't go stir crazy in the meantime. It doesn't have to be an important forum, it could be like a discussion or PG forum.

Also, like Draco said, you need a strong hook. ^^;;

With the Temple, it took almost two years to have enough members to have constant activity. So, you need to be patient, and stick around other popular forums (Gamefaqs is a good place to harvest, since the transition from Gamefaqs to zeta is a positive one, so people would be willing to change - put it in your sig, and for every negative you attract, you'll get bunches more positives. ^^)

With ToK, we were able to generate a mystique around it, with people talking about it, referencing it, and memes from the Temple - worshipping Kraden, of course, although that came from gamefaqs originally) making their way over there and piquing interest.

You make a good point. I'll have to look into this; letting validated users post in a couple forums doesn't sound like that bad of an idea. We've turned on admin validation due to the fact that the hacker that destroyed my other forum has registered several times though, for the sole purpose to spam the board with trolling/flaming messages towards me and the other admins. We've had a few banned users do this quite frequently as well.

I may actually put the link back in my sig on GFAQs, I'll just have to hope the mods don't mistake it for the same forum as last time, causing me to get suspended again. Thanks for all of the advice so far, everyone.

I assume your hacker is using different IPs, usernames, and email addresses each time? Since you can make it so people can't register with any of those, I believe. :)

Yeah. At one point, he even made a name called "Super Slash has gonorrhea", but that was when admin validation was on. I obviously didn't approve it. =D

Also, I decided to just turn off validation entirely.
