You own a forum built specifically for trolls to come in and troll each other? LOL No part of his post indicates that there would or could be any trolling on his forums, personally I think his idea is really innovative - it's very meta. Judging by how much time you have spent on my posts you could have already made .25 BTC at Tweet Forum. Waste your time doing something productive, something to help this community, something to push us in a better direction than where we are at now, instead of wasting your time trolling other people’s posts across multiple different websites. Honestly bud, it just makes you look silly. Come up with something original that will help the Bitcoin community prosper, and even I’ll support it. But then again if you were a serious person you wouldn’t even be wasting your time here would you ? If I copy/paste all my posts from this thread to Tweet Forum, will you give me the .25BTC? Also I already have my original idea, it's an original improvement of your original idea. And it will help the community. I plan on giving 10 free BTC to every new member (after 30 days of membership) for each person to sign up. How are you helping the community? I am putting money into the hands of the average person, I will practically be a hero. And rich, because I'm an expert at selling advertising.

Ok, I know you are just trolling about ripping off the TweetForum idea but the 10 free BTC is actually a pretty good idea. A lot of people like to lurk instead of post a lot so you would be offering them an incentive too. They may not generate content, but they are eyeballs for the ads. You could also create a program where you pay people to get other people to sign up, and the recruiters take a share of the payout for anyone the people they recruit recruits.

Good idea. Maybe half the posts on Tweet Forum 2.0 won't be made by you.

You've clearly never had to deal with trolls before on your forum, since you and your alternate accounts are the only posters.

No one takes it too seriously, hence the tongue in cheek banners. That site has nothing to do with#TweetForumTweets, however. Please try to stay on topic and avoid the unnecessary personal attacks.

Vagetta, I'm interested in your forum, but I'm not totally sure I understand the concept enough to jump into wanting to be a paid contributor. Maybe you can help me understand.
When I look at the forum, I see thousands of posts, but effectively no content whatsoever. Every single thread is started with simply a news headline with no link to an article and no commentary on the news item whatsoever, and almost none of them have any responses at all. Further, almost 100% of the posts are simply posted by TweetForum itself, not any contributing users. Browsing through the forums, I have been unable to find a single post that looks anything like actual users using the forum.
In addition, there doesn't seem to be any discussion on your forum's main pages about what exactly the point of the whole thing is. Is the idea that people read the forum as an aggregator of tweets, or do we subscribe to your twitter feeds to get a feed of what people are discussing on the forum? Either way, I don't see a single piece of useful content up there today, despite hearing wild claims of thousands of active users.
So given all this, what exactly are you asking us to contribute? Would you like more news headlines posted without discussion or context? Would you like responses to the news headlines your bots are posting? What topics are appropriate? Just news items?
You keep crowing about this achievement as if it's just plainly obvious how great the site is, but to me it looks pretty useless. Maybe you should take a step back and just explain what the concept is in precise terms, instead of waving your hands and talking in generalities about web 2.0 and social media. Tell us what use your site is.

The purpose of the forum is to expand Twitter conversations beyond 140 characters. If you want to post something that's over 140 characters, and get it on Twitter, then Tweet Forum is the best way to do so. You don't have to know how to use Twitter either, just make a forum account and post! Everything you write will automatically be syndicated to anyone who follows the forum or the specific section where you posted in. The reason why there isn't alot of active users is because the forum is only 1 MONTH OLD , yet we already have 2600+ members, and thousands of Twitter followers. I get 500-1000 unique visitors per day, but it's much harder to get people to post than some may think. I programmed the bot to scrape the most relevant news for each section, so that Tweet Forum could spark conversation, and keep all the followers updated on news relevant to each topic they like to talk about... Our Twitter cloud seems to disagree with your assertion that our content is somehow "useless"… http://twitter.com/flippro - My personal twitter account. http://twitter.com/tweetsforum - TweetForum's main account-Syndicates all posts http://twitter.com/tweetforummusic - Tweets new music http://twitter.com/tweetnewsforum - Tweets breaking news from our forum http://twitter.com/tweetforumufo - Tweets breaking U.F.O news and discussion http://twitter.com/tweetforumvideo - Tweets the newest web-videos/movies/and episodes http://twitter.com/tweetforumsport - Tweets the latest in sports news http://twitter.com/tweetforument - Tweets the latest entertainment news http://twitter.com/tweetsalemarket - Tweets the marketplace http://twitter.com/bitcoinforum - Tweets about ##Bitcoin investments http://twitter.com/forumstocks -Tweets breaking stockmarket news and discussion. http://twitter.com/tweetforumforex -Tweets Forex exchange news. http://twitter.com/estateupdates - Tweets Realestate and property listings http://twitter.com/learntwtforum - The latest twitter news http://twitter.com/tweetforumbiz- Tweets new businesses and ideas for entrepreneurs. http://twitter.com/marketingforum7 - Tweets marketing news and discussions http://twitter.com/bloggForum - Tweets fresh blogging jobs for extra cash $ http://twitter.com/tweetforumwah -Tweets real Work at Home jobs that pay. http://twitter.com/tweetforumweb - Tweets web developer news It's very simple, if you have a Twitter account, follow the boards that you like, and if you don't have one, just make a forum account and start posting. No Twitter account is needed to join or get paid in BTC's.

People who like Twitter but don't know how to use Twitter but do know how to use forums but apparently don't like any of the forums that already exist is a great market and I wish you the best of luck on conquering it.

I too am creating a robot that will find content on the web for me and post it to MY future site, and as soon as I can make his fingers accurate enough to hit the keyboard keys and can program him to read off the monitor in the corner of my office, I will have PLENTY of content streaming into my site.
Plus I know some guys who have made really good robots before, and I may in fact see if Atlas can help me since he has built robots too.

I get 500-1000 unique visitors per day, but it's much harder to get people to post than some may think. I can see how that could be an issue for any sort of site. Have you tried asking for advice from other web professionals on the best ways to get people to commit to your sites? I think your pay per post idea may work but that isn't how it's usually done, there might be a more tried and tested method.

There is about 100 things I plan on doing in the future to promote TF.
You should rent a billboard with a picture of alien saying "I come in tweets" and then the address for your site.

So do people from somethingawful.com come out and just troll random sites that they seem to think are funny? Lol you guys are all getting banned, I hope you know that. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3413928&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=333#post393631440Every single one of you (I know the people involved) has been reported to the moderators, with the link to your joke thread about Bitcoins on your joke site. There is a reason why some people are successful in life, and some people still live in their parents basements dreading ever being born into existence. Seriously take a look in the mirror (whoever is involved) and ask yourself what you have done today to progress your life? It wasn't trolling my thread for a whole day, and Somethingawful isn't making any of you clowns real money either. No matter how much you guys think you're getting under my skin you're not. If anything you are helping us by giving us all of your time and attention, thus keeping this thread at the very top of the forum, and giving TweetForum even more hits... Use your brains gentlemen. I will pray for you all.

All I see is a website that is 2 other websites that are haphazardly thrown together, with prices for ad space (but no ads on the site, so no one is buying them), and this coming from a guy who is posting content about monetizing Twitter. If YOU can't monetize Twitter, why should anyone follow your Twitter-monetizing content? Your idea is not novel, it is not unique. You are not a special, intelligent, successful little butterfly. e: I know how much money you have to make versus server costs, so unless you have a 'real job' that is significant, nothing you have done indicates you are successful in any way.

The only reason I post this is because every time I click on the "Show new replies to your posts." link this thread comes up. You have more than convinced me that anything you run is worth steering clear of, and I have been online probably longer than you have been alive. Go ahead and "pray" for me - I will feel sorry for your gullibility if you think talking to yourself will affect my life in ANY way.
