Theres nothing better, to get peoples attention, than having a great big billboard advert. Is there?
It would be great to see a HUGE towering Esato.com billboard up London, Leicester Square or something, to raise the profile of esato, and (in a way) change the way people look at mobile phones.
What do you guys think? One in every Capital City?

Nope. Esato has to be found out thru google or word of mouth. Only then they will respect and understand this community. If it is advertised, it will be just another dot com in the web. With lot of spammers and flamers. But that is just my opinion.

DAMN ! i swear thats exactly what i was thinking govi ! I dont want esato to become a forum where people joined up just because they saw an ad and were curious as to the content

@killr I agree 100% with you. A billboard would just attract a lot of 1 time curious hits and dilute the essence of this forum

dont you think esato get 'one timers' already?
dont you think it could bring more long timers?
you cant say you havent been helped in some way by esato?
when buying a new phone or getting the most out of your phone.
and youve shared youre knowledge with other people, havent you?
whats the difference if someone in a phone shop told you or a billboard told you or google told you.

@batesie - sure but we'd get more spammers too, i think getting a long timer once a week or month is better than getting a long timer once a day but 100 spammers at the same time

My opinion to batesie's originial question would that yes i think billboard advertiseing for esato is a great idea and would raise the profile the status of esato a 100 fold.But in order for that to work esato does need to offer just more than a information and discussion board for mobiles,maybe an online shop for mobiles and accessories might help achieve that,But even so i don't think esato can ever afford to advertise on huge billboards in leicester square or anywhere else for that matter as the costs involved would be immense..but who knows in future;anything is possible!

I'm not sure but i think there's a script on Esato to catch web crawlers looking for e-mail addresses, if a spammer became a registered member though, he/she could easily access the e-mail of most members by viewing their profile

Popularity is very good. But when it strikes back, there is nothing worse than popularity.

Hmm i think its a good idea, but i can also see the arguments against...even if it is a slightly elitist view. Reminds me a little of "The Beach" in some respects.
