FAU already has links to private Web sites (including those of at least two photographers) and those of advertisers on the main site. A disclaimer could warn those who might click to this board.

I did look into making a Banner for the site awhile back, it cost about $300 or so and will consider getting one done for this season - only if I can get the other site operational first, which is one reason it has not happen yet.
A do hand out fliers about the site at different events when ever I can.
I also have registered a domian name with a .com setting, I am hoping to have something up and running before fall pratice to help counter the ......proboards25.com problem with the long link to this board.
Athletics have help promote this site in the past, in a weekly football digest the school had a few years back, but the school is limited to how they do so.
Keep the suggestions coming, I am always looking for ways to promote the site.

I think the board also needs a more memorable URL. That's the No.1 thing about promoting a website, you have to be able to remember its name. Proboards are great, but there's a reason they're free. fausports-DOT-proboards25-DOT-com just doesn't roll off the tongue. However, if you can get the right people to give the site a plug (say in a certain coach's blog) that would definitely draw more interest. I know I found this site after coach Cooney mentioned it in his Diamond Diary a few years back. ... or we could always just use the student directory and spam the FAU.edu addresses. You are right, the current domain name is not easy to promote. I own the domain name AnyoneAnytime.com. That was the saying a few years ago when FAU football started playing the big names. A name like that would be easier to promote to drive people to the board. I will be willing to loan the domain name (and pay to keep it active) to the board in an effort to help out if anyone thinks it's a good idea. Check it out: www.AnyoneAnytime.comGo Owls!!!

I like the owlsburrow name better than anyoneanytime. It is easy to remember and it is Owls related.

I have created a new thread in the Open Forum section to continue this discussion on the board, since this thread was started to talk about Rex walters Blog.
Thanks
