To spam or not to spam....

[di3f00l]

that is the question! 

Basically is it worth it. Other music forums have ugly themes that are just really boring or confusing. ie:subforums ontop of subforums that aren't even used. Is it worth it to spam sites? I only have 3 other members and they're my mods, so when do you think I should spam? Or should I never spam? It just seems rude, but since in my opinion the lay out is better and I doing them a favor? Post.

Spamming is a bad idea period.

That's what my gut said but I wasn't sure.
Anyone else?

I wouldn't do it. I would focus writing quality content instead. You can spam all you want but what will make them stay?

Yeah true. But at the same time no one will see the content until people come. Plus how do you write quality content in a forum with no people? 

[vbgamer45]

Just write posts on your forum. Have discussions on topics related to your forum. invite your friends to join to build it up

Okay so I have an account on another forum from before I made my site to see what theirs was like, and I was talking in shout box and people asked me what my favorite music was so I was like alternative/punk rock and christian music, then 10 seconds later (literally) I got banned. And now all the people are laughing and saying its because I like christian music.

Half of the forums that have made it, shouldn't have.

Spamming is not a good way to promote your site.

Good luck,

Spamming is for people who don't have friends and can't get the word out.

Spamming is a sin >.>

You should only spam if your 15 years old.

The way to check would be to look at your google analytics (or what ever analytics you use) to see how many hits you got from the site you posted your spam on.
