Coersion or negative things like banner adds are not going to get more of us pawns to join. I think Fencer is going about things the right way.

I'm checking this site out right now and getting a sense of the community. If it continues to grow on me, I'll join just like I did at IYT. It's going to take a better server to resolve the site preformance issues. I hope a nice benefactor can be found because I doubt the funds can be squeezed out of the pawns.

IYT went through the same growing pains and they made it. I bet BrainKing can do it too.. :-)
