Please create one thread per user and use the "edit post" function to keep your 1st post up to date.
Only users who have been registered for 30 days can create threads.
Only one conga per website, must be a referral-based website. Choose wisely, as it is also one conga per user.
Users who have abandoned previous congas being led by them will no longer be allowed to run congas.

This forum is a test/experiment and we may decide to remove it if it doesnt work out.

UPDATE (11/1/09) - Seeing as there has been rampant abuse of the lenient rules around here, effective immediately, a limit of three bumps per day are allowed.

Also, the one thread per user rule will be further enforced. Continuous violations will lead up to loss of posting privileges in this forum.

I posted a thread and I hope that it is the kind that you wanted!

Bumping is prohibited?

Thanks CheapyD. I've got my thread posted! I've already traded referrals with Quintessence. So I'd say this forum will be quite nice!

Good times had by all!

This is a great idea. I was sick of the old thread with 12 post from the same guy on each page. I've been hoping for this for a while, let's hope it works out good and doesn't get abused by all the noobs here.

I agree with that, that top thread was a bit of a spamfest .. lol
However, I'm not so sure about the one thread per user deal, I think it should be one thread per website, since most threads previously were goin conga-style, otherwise its going to end up with several new users just posting their junk here, and we're going to end up with several threads on just the same stuff .. Still, its better than before, so a step in the right direction.

I'm definitely open to suggestions on the best way to run this sub-forum.

I think it should be one thread per user, otherwise there'll be 20 threads from the same person all saying the same thing. Maybe you could have a thing to reset your thread, in case it gets too long and you want to start fresh, or maybe no more than one thread per user per week.

Also, maybe a sticky to list people to avoid, maybe a trade gone bad, someone refuses to pay, etc.

That seems how it is currently, 20 threads from different people, all saying the same thing .. thats why I think it should be one thread per website, with no bumping unless it is informative or something. Bad website threads will die out, good ones will stick around (ie: the Gaming Lagoon thread)

Exactly what I think as well. Make so that there is one central place that people can find out all the information they need to know about a particular site, and not have to look around all over for it.

I think we should bring back conga lines.
Have one referral page for each user, and have a conga line to get referrals.
Though, if 5 referrals are needed for a gift, I'm not exactly sure how the conga line would work...

There's always the idea of prohibiting any referrals anywhere except for your signature.

I'm certainly in favor of that idea.

I'm personally a fan of this one thread per user. It's working quite well for me and all the users I've traded referrals with. My main site I'm working on right now requires 15 referrals, so a conga line would render those types of sites completely worthless - thus truely making them huge pyramid schemes because no one would be able to acquire their proper referrals.

Conga line work well in topics like the Gaming Lagoon - if you're early. The first person to put in their link gets referrals from everyone underneath, no matter whether or not they sign up directly under that person. So again, in fairness, I think the one thread per person allows people to make offers on their opportunites and keeps it even for everyone.

Conga lines are worthless. They only help out the first two people in the line, then everyone else is screwed.

Tell that to the Gaming Lagoon thread .. it does go bad though when people start coming back for seconds, or saying they signed up previously but heres my link anyway.

There definitely needs to be some official CAG code of ethics regarding this kind of thing that people should adhere to. Of course it cannot be enforced all the time, but it will definitely help.

I made a poll...please vote.

That is also an option. This is really just a test.

I maintain my position of one thread per user as stated above.

I agree with one thread per week rule. It will not only keep things in control but it will also keep threads fresh - no need to clean up the old threads - let it die down.

Anyone agree?
