PA Advert Wanted
Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Hey PAers.

I'm rubbish with the whole graphics thing, and not to strong with the whole internet advertising thing either. Unlike a lot of you I don't have the 10000 previous sites, and the PR experience that comes with that, so I've never actually made an advert for a site.

So I'm asking if one of you charming people would be happy to make one. Just think about what most site's adverts normally are, if they don't usually come in the form of a graphic advert then don't do one, but if someone would be happy to make one for us to spread around the internet, it would be greatly appreciated.

Whoever makes the best one will be given a special prize, I'll think one up by the time they start to come in (If they start to come in) but I'll make sure that it's a worthwhile one, not something like 8435837 sickles. (Which you'll never use)

So please, if you have any questions, post them here, otherwise I can't wait to see your adverts!

Jess.

What do you want on it? Usually ads have a plot rundown, links to the index, application, rules & advertising and sometimes even features. What makes Potter's Army different that you'd like to highlight in your ad?

and how do you want it coded? Do you want just bbcode, or do you want one code for general sites, one for IF one for forumotion, one for HTML, etc?

Also, some sites turn off images for guests, so you probably don't want just one image for the entire ad. A banner link along with text is your safest bet.

Mmm, I was thinking either the entire plot, or a summarised one if that's too long, as well as a link to the site. I don't think that we'd include the application and rules and advertising, most of that stuff is explained once they're on the board I think.

As for coding, most sites use bbcode, as far as I know, and keeping this simple is probable best in my opinion. If images will be a problem then it's easy to just include an optional button or banner, which isn't integral to the ad as a whole, just ads to it.

There was a sign up thread? Oh gosh.

But that looks so great, even if that sort of thing isn't made final, I'll (With your permission) use it for inter-site stuff.

But I think that it'd make a great part of the advert Very Happy

I'd love it if you did Liz, like I said, It'd be nice to have a whole heap of adverts to use or to choose from.

No harm in using more than one if they're all too good!

Well, Jess, I'm not good with graphics stuffs, but once you've decided on an advert send it to me and I'll work on getting it in as many sites as I can.
