To be honest. This kind of thing definatley works. I've joined games in the past based on these votes and I've no idea where i discovered BB, maybe it was one of these!
I have to say though that BB is the only one i continue to play as my leisure time decreased but these votes definatley make people try out the games.

In fact, i'd be interested to see how many people, after voting, checked out that Tycoon Online site. I did. Didnt join, but i checked it out to see what it was about becuase it's number 1.

I think the point that it might turn off some users could make sense, but just to get some more users to look at the game and try it means that there will probably be some users that stay on BB. So even if a small amount stay and play (and possibly become a supporter), it served it's purpose.

..But my main concern is the message BB is sending out when the first thing new players will see on the site is this announcement.. I would have put me off! BB needs to advertise to grow, that's for sure, but I think the communtiy is active enough to reach the number 1 position in this poll without BB's asking for it on the news page ;)

Edit: (74085.1). I rest my case :P


I Disagree on both counts. It seems to me that not that many people check the forums as see the news. BB got over 1000 votes today to take the top spot compared to the hundred or so a day previously. If I am a new player and one of the first things I see on the site is a pro-active effort to increase the users, I am only encouraged. Just my opinion, of course.

(73868.1) Like this one from the 19th?
