Hello Nerd Forum members. You may or may not know, but Nerd Forum is a very young community, less than 3 months old as of writing this. I'd like to see it become a large, thriving community and I'm sure many of you would as well. Here are some ways that you, the member base, can help with that.
- Tell your friends. Some of you probably keep your real life and internet lives separate, and that's perfectly fine. Tell your internet friends if that's the case. Don't push it on them like you're a Jehovah's witness, but let them know it's here.
- Links from other forums. If you visit other forums, and it's within the rules, put a link here in your signature. On most forums and blogs, there is also a profile field for your website. If you don't have one of your own, please put nerd forum there. Search engines eat up these links and it helps us grow.
- Share buttons. At the bottom of every thread you will see these nifty share buttons:

Using these buttons you can share via twitter, facebook, google, digg, delicious, reddit, stumbleupon, email, or even print it out and hand copies to the local population. If you use any of these services, and you like the thread, please share. These help get our name out there. - Tag. When you make a new thread, you'll see an option to add tags. Please do, as this puts the words into the meta description for search engines.
- Be nice to new members. This is most important. No one wants to be part of a community where they don't feel welcome, so be sure to say hello to the new guys and gals and give them a warm welcome.
Thank you all for reading this. I hope you all find something in here that you would like to do to help. If not, that's fine too. I just ask that you have fun and enjoy your time here at Nerd Forum.
