You can find out half of your questions from looking around the forum. The forum is powered by phpBB. We didn't advertise anywhere really, except linking to the website from eachother's websites, and a few articles were written about the site. We got all of the members because of a lot of things. The timing. Google IPO and Gmail at the same time were a great opportunity to start a Google Site for discussion. And with all of the people interested in Google, how could a Google Community go wrong?

Also, I noticed that you were spamming my PM with links to your site. Spamming your link everywhere is not a way to get traffic. You will likely be banned from here for sending your links to random member's accounts via PM.

i got one aswell, and offering cash which i doubt you will pay is going to bring members and make you lose them and tell people not to come as your a lier etc, the best way is to engage in a few link exchanges, get your site higher on google by getting a higher PR, what you should do, get your lik on as many google cralable websites as you can, every link counts, put it in your sig on every forum etc, you will find the hist start going up, then start getting a few freinds to sign up then you will notice every week 1 or 2 more people signing up

I have also received a PM from this guy. This is not how you advertise. It just annoys the hell out of people and repels them from visiting your site. You should try better marketing strategies.
