More referrals awards
01/07/11 10:55 am | #1
I think it would be cool if there were more referrals awards.....there's the one for referring 5 people..but since the best way this site will continue growing will be by word of mouth, i thought it'd really give myself and others more incentive to really broadcast this site...because i really love this site, but was searching on another xbox360 site and saw that someone was ranked whatever in whatever state and thought that it would be pretty cool to know that little bit of information on myself..and lo and behold, there was a whole site dedicated to it!..and now i'm more involved in this site than i was in the previous mentioned site..having said all of that...it'd be cool to have awards for, say reaching 10 referrals, and then 20 referrals...just my little input..thanks for considering.... I love the site!

was the "previous mentioned site" x360a by chance?
altho i think the idea might be kinda cool, i have to ask...how many people do you think honestly have referred or will be able to refer 20+ people? O.o?

and i've referred 20 already, not sure who else has...but, it doesn't have to be 20..that was just an example....could be 12 or 15...the point is, just getting it out there and making an effort to broadcast the site a little more....i'm all for this site and i've been telling everyone i can get a chance to tell!
maybe the tiers could be 5, 8, and 12....something like that

There are millions of people out there who have never heard of Xbox America. How can they get by? Help spread the word about Xbox America (quote from the Spread the Word in the users cp)
yeah but if your "quality" people are recruiting people, then there's nothing to worry about...right?
and there will always be "growing pains"...whether you are broadcasting or not

Canada is a 2nd class American state lolololol (douchy off comment post)
xbox360a is cool for achievement guides, but this is the only place I post video game wise. I gave up on that and gamefaqs, too many dbags.

Canada is our favorite hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which is why we never take it off....... but yeah. i agree with quality over quantity. the more people we get, the shitty-er the site will become. dumbass's from allover will flock to become "one" of us and create meaningless threads. but i guess i can be put in the meaningless thread catagory, considering i have a "Metal albums out this month" thread that mainly consists of me, Meta, and Circus. mabe a rap thread would cheer everyone up. and make me a sellout. :3

Nearly every person who comes from X360A is a douche. And considering all I've seen from you are dumb threads, pointless arguing and trying to get more awards, I haven't yet put you in the "quality" people category.
We've been around for 5 years. I personally have been a member of the site for around 3. I am a member of x360a, a360p, TA, MGC.net, and 360v, and this is the only one I post in (and yes, I saw your stupid thread on x360a... real QUALITY referring there. You're clearly a gamer with discriminating tastes... and by the way, CANADA is part of America).
You aren't concerned with spreading the word, you're concerned with getting recognition for doing it. The people you've "recruited" came for the leaderboards and most likely will never post beyond a handful who make an intro thread. That's not helping the site to grow, just the leaderboards.
wow, thanks for all of the encouraging words..i appreciate that!
i'm not sure where i rubbed you wrong...maybe it was the SEC vs. Big 10 talk that was going on....and there will always be that rivalry, it's part of sports..other than that, not sure why you feel you have to be as negative as you are towards me.....but if you dont like me because i dont agree with you on everything, seems a bit childish
i was a part of the other site because i didnt know that this one existed...just came across it in someone else's gamercard and i came for the leaderboards...at that point, i didnt even know there was a whole site for this..just thought it was leaderboards...until i got to looking around and saw the forum and what not...i love everything about this site and have just been trying to get more involved...of course i am going for the awards, but at the same time i wanted to let other people over at the other site know about this site and thought that creating a thread would help them...because, like me, i didnt even know it existed..it's how you get the word out...didnt know that ya'll didnt like them that much...not everyone over there is a "douche" as you say...of course some are...but that's everywhere...and i hope that you dont think that i am...and if i've done anything to offend you, i apologize..sincerely
i'm not a gamer with discriminating tastes..i think what you are referring to, was when someone in that thread asked if there was a way to know what you ranked in the province of Canada you were from and at that point i wasn't sure..i only saw that we have the whole country of Canada on there...i was still new to the site...and to be perfectly honest, since i found this site, i haven't been to that site that much...not NEARLY as much as i've been here..in fact, i work on computers all day long and just leave this site up all day...it's been great..but it's just unfortunate how we have gotten off on the wrong foot..and i guess it's my own fault..just not sure how
you say that nearly everyone that has come from x360a is a douche, but really, you have called my threads "dumb" and "stupid" (thanks) and you are one of the leaders at this site...not really sure how that doesn't qualify as "being a douche"
i thought that it'd be better to have a lot of people on the leaderboards so we know where we really rank in our state...i'm at 104th (i think) as i write this, but i know that that's not exactly correct, because i have friends who i've sent emails to about this site, that haven't registered yet..so just thought it'd be better to have more on the leaderboards to get it more accurate
but from what i've read, your way of handling this matter is not a reflection of the other leaders on this site...they have been very courteous to me and even when we have had to agree to disagree...(minioger)
so maybe this clears some things up..not sure...if you want to talk to me personally, feel free to send me a private message or we can get on the chat line to discuss anything if you'd like
but that is why i created this thread..sorry if you think it's "stupid"

No, because then you get idiots just making up accounts for the referral, and leaving notes all over the place trying to get people to sign up.
This site has always been quality over quantity, which is why it's better and you're able to be more involved than you were on "that other site."
Everytime we start growing, we get more problems. I say let them slowly trickle in, so AJ and I can weed 'em out easier.

That brought a tear to my eye!
