Affiliation Applications

[Kefka]

Here you can apply to be an affiliate of The Outcast's Guild. Affiliation between two forums can be a mutually beneficial system as visitors who are on one forum might feel tempted to view the affiliates and bring traffic to your website or forum.

Affiliating is typically done through the use of mini banners which are normally placed inside each forum's affiliate table. That way visitors know where to visit.

As The Outcast's Guild is a large and active community it is getting increasingly harder for us to manage all affiliate requests and due to smaller forums we may not benefit as much. That is why there are some requirements your forum must meet here:

• Your forum must have over 50 members,
  
• A total amount of a 1,000 posts must be made on your forum,
  
• Your activity must be good which also therefore means the activity is constant,
  
• Your forum has to be at least a week or two old,
  
• Your forum can be of any genre,
  
• You must keep our banner up at all times, if your board is found without our banner you will be removed without hesitation,
  
• If we have a greater amount of members than your site, we kindly ask you to place our banner near the the beginning of your affiliates list.

All affiliation requests must be done through this thread. Any other attempts at affiliation (e.g PMing me or another member of staff) will be ignored.

This policy might be bended slightly depending on special circumstances. If you feel you fall under this category, post with your board and we shall consider. We might grant you affiliation.

Now for the affiliate code. If you wish to add us and become an affiliate site use these details to complete your affiliate with us:

If you wish to affiliate and meet the requirements please reply to here accepting you wish to affiliate and leave a link to your site and also your mini banner. We recommend you make your affiliates banner 88 x 31 pixels.

As our affiliates list is growing, we are going to periodically shuffle the order of the affiliates to ensure fairness.

Hi

Are all "old" affiliate still valid? Some forums change the affiliates with each new version and i was wondering if the affiliation with my site Smerkers was broken or not?

If so, then i'd like to re-apply:

Forum URL: saltnvinegar.proboards25.com
Image URL: img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/gphillips12345/smerkersmini.gif

Your banner is up on both our viewer, and our affiliates page as always.

Sorry to say but all of the old affiliates were broken off apart from a select few who are incredibly frequent posters here.

[Amused To Death]

Would you still like to affiliate, or are you not accepting new one's anymore?

[Amused To Death]

Has my application been acepted?

*is wondering*

[Kefka]

Oops sorry I thought I answered that. As for now its invalid. There is an affiliate space reserved from more place which needs to sort out a few things then this affiliation topic is going to be closed until an affiliate drops out or so.

Hey. My forums a half year old, has 53 members, and has about 4100 posts. Oh, and we get around 40-80 posts a day. Is that good enough?

If it is, heres my code for the forum:

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.feffworld.proboards81.com">

Note: I'm making an animated mini-banner right now, so is it okay to change the mini-banner when I'm done with the new one?



Edit: Just so you know about your affiliates, The Nexus hasn't had a post in a year and Life is Just has only 50 members. Sorry if you already know this. >_>

[thunder]

eh? i am over come with confussion lol you only have one affiliate forum that follows your rules the rest have under 20 members and some are only a few weeks old

but i may be wrong in your judgement but if not

board URL: spirospirits.proboards54.com/index.cgi
mini banner URL:http: //img205.imageshack.us/img205/4568/thcalacirya2no1.jpg

but if i am wrong once again please just delete this post
ALSO i've added your affiliate thing to my forum

[Kefka]

Your post has a couple of problems, Thunder. Firstly, a few weeks or so old? Look at the requirements. It has to be a week or so old. -_- The others that are there have a special deal that was pre-arranged beforehand. Which slightly falls under this point right here:

This policy might be bended slightly depending on special circumstances. If you feel you fall under this category, post with your board and we shall consider. We might grant you affiliation.

And if you also look further down the topic... You'll also see something else.

Oops sorry I thought I answered that. As for now its invalid. There is an affiliate space reserved from more place which needs to sort out a few things then this affiliation topic is going to be closed until an affiliate drops out or so.

But I suppose you could be forgiven for that bit as nobody knows if the affiliate has dropped out yet or if your forum's standard is higher than the other one.

And why delete the post?

Anywho, forgive me harshness. You could say, falling unconscious, having a sh*t past couple of days and other things to top it off might make you that way but oh well.

-_-' whatever i wasn't stupid i new i would be rejected

[Kefka]

Well I take it you CAN read then?

So why did you ask for application? *sigh* Forget it.

[DeathAngel]

Ta-da!

[Kefka]

Yeah I had a talk with you about that and its ok for you become an affiliate forum.

I am also going to remove some other affiliates due to lack of activity... It is in the criteria. If you're forum activity isn't constant than its not really benefiting ToG.
