I must have done something wrong...
I swear... I went to the led sign thing and typed "Silverladder dot com... a place where you can be yourself"
It came out as "Silverladder dot com... you place where you can be fish"
do you think I'll be a goldfish or just a guppy?

This really deserves a bump. Though our numbers are growing daily, we're far from reaching our potential.
How many of you have done something in the physical world to get the attention of new passengers?

No... I'm still trying to recruit by word of mouth, But trying to explain what's an ARG, much less what SL is is difficult. Just finding what a curious person is rare. One guy I work with went to SL yesterday, and was kinda freaked out. i had to calm him this morning, explain that it's not some kind of cult site, and tell him to take things slowly.
Thus the story of my life.

I think that's the biggest challenge, Syths.
We can bring them to the site, but keep them interested... well that takes a bit more.

Dude then find people who are into cults! Tell 'em that SL is way better than the cult they're in, and there is free coffee at the weekly meetings.

I've tried explaining a few friends (the most fluent in english only, of course) what SL is, and showed them the site. Nobody understands anything. It either has too many diffcult things to pull out (searching pages for "secret" links and phone numbers and such) or the artwork creeps 'em out.
I'm trying to get my brother into it, now. He already said he liked the look of the site, but I'm having a hard time convincing him to create a MySpace or log into the IRC channel.

Jack Lacroix'x (patent pending) PROVEN recruiment methods!!!!:
that's right folks! these methods work just as advertised! give 'em a try, and if you do, before long, THOUSANDS will be playing SL!!!
1. the "yes, I moonlighted on the set of boogie nights" method:
go to a public building, such as a library. find a isolated member of the opposite sex, and slowly approach them, like a stalking tiger. press your finger to their mouth and shush them while unbuttoning your shirt, letting a silver ladder poster fall out. now, turn around and HAUL ARSE out of there. CONGRAGULATIONS! you've not only raked up a sexual harrasement charge, but recruited a new member.
2. the " Hari Krishna" method:
lay in wait at a air port, etc. hand out pamplets and probe people about their religious beliefs, and ask them if they've met the light of "the deck". if they haven't, cry "YOUR A MEMBER OF THE KORP!" loudly and point, drawing enough attention to them until they either run off or silence you by grabing a pamplet.
I'd come up with more, but unfortunately the sugar high that inspired this post has since died.....helllllllllo, crash....

SO should I stop walking up to people punching them in the face and telling them "THE RABBIT HOLE IS OPEN... ING A CAN OF WHOOP ASS ON YOUR FACE!!! SIlVER LADDER ON YOUR PUNK ASS!!! WOOOOO!!!"
Cause I think it is an effective method of recuitment.
