This site could have the potential to be better than zoklet and bring back the former glory of totse. Lets discuss what we as members can do to make this a reality.

    That's possibly the worst way, seeing as stupid 12 year old trolls will just come over as well. Forget Zoklet

    A) Get users from Zoklet. {don't worry they will join sooner or later). [Without being hostile]
    B) Totse Army.
    C) Post like crazy and get some mad vibes going here.
    D) Articles,stunts, crazy pranks.

    Graffiti!

    I'm leaving my town soon, so it'll be a good opportunity for mindless vandalism and free advertisement for Totse.

    We'll get a fair amount of the good members from zoklet in time. I just hope we somehow can avoid the mass of unfunny trolls that were slowly bringing that place down.

    Other than that, pretty much what Dfg said.

    Spamming would be a horrible way to get more users at this stage imo.

    If you post on other decent forums, just make occasional links to similar topics going on here.

    Would be nice to get a bit of fresh blood, and not just the same old faces recylced from Zoklet.

    I'm hoping my blog will pick up in popularity soon, and I'll eventually make a post about Totse and its history, etc. Might draw in a few teachers of English as a foreign language, and some wannabes who want to join the foreign legion.

    If everybody else can pick up members here and there, we'll get a decent little community going.

    True the last totse started out small too. We can do this. unfortunately trolls are hard to prevent.

    Agreed, DFG.

    I can tag a few places, put totse in my online game username as a clan, post links, etc.

    I'm thinking that if we write enough articles and do whatever is needed to help google index this place (If that's wanted, anyways) we could turn up in google quite often for drugs, DIY-tutorials, Labtips, Gearheads...Backyard Ballistics :D

    I don't know how, but often when I search for something I've also posted on Zoklet on google, my/others Zoklet threads are often the first or second result.

    We gotta get this place in gear.

    I've noticed this too. I assume that google can tell what sites I've been to and adjusts results according.

    Put SEO tactics in to place to make this site the first place that comes up when you search how to make a bomb on google. Don't lie, we all know that's how we found Totse in the first place.

    I'll do my best to get the word out. This place has potential.

    Zoklet users advertise totse.info in your sig. If we do this eventually most users are bound check this place out.

    This could be the most effective way of getting most of zoklet to migrate here.

    Do some research in to Search Engine Optimization. Google is your friend here. I'm sure you'll find what you need. One strategy is to link bomb.

    Yeah, I agree with previous posters, google is probably the best way. Get it to turn up for bombs, drugs, and other stupid ways everyone else found Totse. Shit, I think I found it when I was like 11 googling how to lockpick.

    at the moment, totse.info just seems like the playground. People socialising, having fun and whatnot, but we cant forget that totse is also about information.

    We need contributors. Funny posters and trolls are a dime a dozen, but it is the contributors who separate totse from say, a chan

    I would write astrophotography textfiles...I'm of the opinion that more, newer ones would help, since they seem to bring in the google results.

    It will come natural. People get bored and make those "I am leaving Zoklet forever!" threads and then always come back because there isn't a community like Totse/Zoklet that stays active and not in that 4chan way. All you have to do is present people with an option and give them quality and they will come.


    Remember Totse wasn't built in a day, but it did fall in one :(. Now it's back :D

    I always add it into things like "Location" or my Signature on places I go. When I uploaded new releases of movies/tv shows I advertised Zoklet.net/bbs for people to visit while they are downloading.

    I say we graffitti "http://totse.info" everywhere you can. In my story, my character wants to do it somewhere huge and make a lot of noise.

    I say we shouldn't just increase membership-


    We should make totse like it used to be a long time ago, back when people still wrote textfiles (last time i saw a textfile get uploaded was 2008 or so. I'd like to see it more often)

    We also should start doing generally crazy shit more often, maybe getting on the news once in a while :)

    Road sign fuckery, anyone?

    A) Update any pages that mention Totse. Like wikipedia, urban dictionary etc. We must be mentioned as the real successor or real Totse.
    B) Post videos, stupid, random etc all over the Internet. Youtube whatever works. Reference everything to Totse.

    Remember, we have the Totse advantage, it's an OLD name and quite famous. Use it.
