Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 5,000. "One of our biggest load problems is entries that have a high number of comments -- loading those entries causes a big hit -- and we've been seeing an increase in the number of entries with lots of comments lately. If even a few high-traffic journals or communities started opening new posts when comments reached 2000 or 2500 instead of letting the post run until it hit the maximum number of comments, it would definitely help." - DW_News

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.

So, mods and former mods: what is the best way to advertise your game in this day and RP age? Besides word-of-mouth, I mean. Like, is rpanons a good spot to advertise? Or RP!S? As for word-of-mouth, what makes people talk about your game more?

Make your plurk account public temporarily (or whatever), plurk about the game and ask people to replurk it. That's how word spread about Asgard and some other super popular games before they opened.

Hmm, not a bad idea. What if this game is already open, just... pretty obscure?

It might not work as well in that case, but it couldn't hurt to give it a shot anyway. Otherwise, the standard rpanons, rps and atp are your best bets.

That's what I figured. Time to draw up new ads and post around! Thanks for the advice, anon.

Public plurks and roleplaysecrets were our main ones, but I did comment with the mod account on anoncomm in the working stages as subtle publicity.

Nowadays, I think the plurk, RP!S, and ATP are you three best bets in terms of getting a wider playerbase, along with the game ads here. And, if you want to cover a wider scope of RPers, you could use fandom comms or the RP ads.
