Attracting new users.... Mark Unseen   Jan 27 20:57 UTC 2007

How can we get more users on grex?  Brainstorm ideas here.
84 responses total.

One thing that occurs to me is that grex is really pretty bad at advertising
itself.  Consider that if one does a google search for, "public access
unix", grex doesn't show up until the 3rd page (SDF is the first link,
incidentally).  If one doesn't quote the search string, it is much much
further down in the list (I stopped looking after the 7th page of hits).

How about some kind of advertising campaign?  Maybe a slashdot story?
Perhaps a focus shift is useful, as well.  In particular, moving away from
the BBS as the primary focus of the effort to drum up new users and toward
the public access Unix side (e.g., ``Come check out our service and see how
a Unix machine is supposed to be run!'').

Ideas?
