Self Promotion
mpogd.com/gotm/
Look at the history of PA, people loved it at one point!
Planetarion February 2002
Planetarion December 2001
Planetarion October 2001
Planetarion September 2001
Planetarion June 2001
Planetarion April 2001
Planetarion March 2001
Planetarion January 2001
Planetarion December 2000
Planetarion May 2000
All these accolades and then nothing until:
Planetarion February 2006
What were we doing right in February, and was there a spike in membership at this point?

Re: Self Promotion
You will notice that Planetarion was voted during the height of it's success. I think february 2006 just sneaked in because there was a lot of spamming to please go and vote there.
Also, I wouldn't consider mpogd.com as anything to go by, the votes are heavily dependant upon how much advertisement your game does to have it's players go and vote there.

Re: Self Promotion
Also I believe that mpogd.com/gotm/ after PA's initial good run swapped to a system where if you win it once your not eligable to win again for 12 months. I might be wrong but its something i remember being mentioned back in Feb

Thats correct, hence why we only one once this year. We will have to have a think about which months we want to try and do well in next year.

Re: Self Promotion

Nowadays it would be more politically correct to block with the 3rd to take down the 5th though.

I think this was the point when I paid for advertising for planetarion. With Google / DevStart
Cost me roughly about £200 pounds but I think the results are rewarding enough :P
If jolt would kindly put aside a £1,000 Pound for 3 months advertising im sure we will defo be able to drive millions of users to planetarion.
