BuzzerBeater Forums

Many of the online games I play, including Hattrick and Buzzerbeater, I found on a website called MPOGD (Multi Player Online Game Directory). This site gets big hits from the gaming community across all genres. On the opening page of this website is a place to vote for the best listed game (1000's). Those that get the highest ratings are posted on the front page. This is precisely how I found Hattrick years ago, never would have otherwise. I had to dig around on the site to find something new and eventually found BB, for which I am grateful. If enough users voted for BB the game would get front page advertising for free esentially.

When I got my original team in HT (season 9) and first checked the forum boards, I saw a thread very similar to this one, and apparently it worked. Not just for me but they did get a substantial boost in users. The voting requires no sign-up, and can be done once a day per IP. It is also linked on the front page of the site, very easy. Not affiliated with this site in any way, but I and many of my gaming friends visit there........often.

First of all I want to say that i like that idea, but for me it seems like you have to be registered to rate a game. I would have no problem do register, but i would prefer not to ;)

This is true, you do have to be registered to rate the game. However if you just want to vote for BB as the best on the site, no registration required. On the front page of the site is a list of the top ten games, in small print below this is a link with t he word 'vote'. You can vote without registration. However if you want to rate the game (1-5 with a comment available) you must register. Very few people rate the games. Voting works much better anyway, as you have to look for the game to get the ratings. Whereas the games with the most votes gets put on the front page.

BB is allready in the top 50 :)

Very pleased to see this thing taking off. We got a late start in February and are allready near the top ten. Should be a cinch to get #1 in March. 11 times voted this month and counting :)

Thanks to the announcement already 6th!

The idea wasnt bad, but why not making an extra Page with Voting links under tools, and why we start with such a little game vote site?

I suggested this site because it is how I found Buzzerbeater (and HT). I am sure bigger 'no-registration' sites would help as well. Any suggestions?
