[META] Promoting colonies

I see that several lurkers are posting passwords for their own colonies besides Yay and Argolonists (Ninjaneers and others) in the "join an existing" colony thread.

I think mods should post a sticky which guides newcomers to join either ARG or Yay (since we can't reach an agreement), but that discourages them from joining/advertising other colonies.

No offense, but we do need to protect our constituency. Fishing for new members is part of the game.

Oh boy my first official post as a Mod, how exciting.

Please note, unless I say otherwise, when I post, I'm posting as a player and not as a moderator... However... This particular time, I'm saying otherwise.

Unfiction is all about coordinating and sharing information. If I'm not mistaken, there was recently a challange where various colonies each got a different piece of a puzzle and had to share in order for the challange to be solved.

It would be difficult to do that in the future if we were to close off Unfiction to people not in ARGolonists and Yay, even if we could.

ARGolonists and Yay were started early on as colonies with members primaraly from Unfiction. While we will tend to root for them, they are not "Officially Sanctioned Colonies of ARGN", and I'm sure neither group would refuse valid members from outside the Unforum community.

There is no problem listing your affiliation and password in your sig if you want to, as long as you use good taste and honesty. But recruitment posts should be concentrated to one thread, and we already have that thread here

Welcome. I invite you to join ARGolonists. You'll find a more rewarding experience and sense of accomplishment with us.

should've seen my fingers dance when i realised no-one had posted that Missile Command puzzle up earlier, only to be thwarted by a "can't connect to database" message on here:(
and yes, then it was solved in about 5 seconds.
