Dunenewt Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Following on from discussions on many other threads, I thought I'd start one about how to best spread the word about this site. There are three sites that have loads of Dune fans on, and that I have been spreading the word about this site on, which are Youtube, Facebook, and the official Dune site. Don't forget there are now signature images available, courtesy of Thumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have the facebook group, unfortunately I'm not really active enough on the web outside of FED2K to advertise in any major way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 The Facebook group simply called 'Dune'? If so, I started a thread on the message board about this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Ah no. I'm on the FED2k group. I'll join that next time I'm on facebook though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Also, there's a guy called Sandchigga, who signed up for this site a while ago, but didn't really post. He has his own Dune blog, and edits the Dune pages on Wikipedia quite a bit, so it would be good to get him back over here. I'm going to send him (and some other people) emails later.

Mahdi Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Be carefull you don't over advertise FED2k on other people's site. You don't want to piss people off by talking about it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 I just put links in my signature, and mention it when anything Dune related pops up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandChigger Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Like CaoCao in The Three Kingdoms, you need only speakwrite my name to invoke me. :D(Um...I guess that's also said of another equally fictional but less auspicious character, isn't it? Oh well.)I need to put a link to here on my blog. I think I had one on the old Blogger one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Welcome to the forum, SandChigger! Make yourself at home.Don't touch that![edit] Okay, so you've been around for over a year. You're still welcome here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 What made you come here then? I was going to send you a message after I saw you got banned from the official boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandChigger Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 What made you come here then? I was going to send you a message after I saw you got banned from the official boards.Oh, some ulterior motive. Hmm hmm hmm hmmm....I signed up quite a while back, but got the initial impression that this site was mainly for gamers. Since I'm not much of a gamer...at all....I'm planning on checking in a bit more regularly from now on, if that's OK. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 hey hey sweetness another regular ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Another regular, especially this one, is great news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 You know, checking back more often than "more regularly" is still good, even better ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 I've stopped by Fed2k, but it never seems very active or engaging to me. No offense of course, but topics are generally shallow and activity is at a snail's pace. That's the response I got over at the official message boards :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Fair enough. Most of the topics here in the general board are shallow, and the snails pace of posting in other threads doesn't help outway our meaningless posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yes, I suppose they do have a point, although we are getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Things do seem to be picking up, but most of it is still the old timers who ahve pretty much talked out all the dune stuff they wanted to discuss years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yes, that was my excuse in response to post I quoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 We have a Fed2k facebook group and Mahdi never invited me to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 'Fraid so. There was a thread on it a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You know, it really is true that we are more of a Dune gaming community than a novels community. I mean, we have more posts in Gaming (which isn't even Dune-related) than in Duniverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 The Duniverse board has been picking up recently though, and we do have some very knowledgeable people on this forum when it comes to Dune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
