Fan Site Application

I wanted to do something to play on the other forums.  So I went here:

http://forums.ddo.com/forumdisplay.php?f=145

and typed up an application to make the vault an official DDO fan site.  I thought that in the unlikely event that they accepted us we could then say the name of the website without getting infraction points.  If not, we could get some advertising over the weekend.  Especially after I posted the link to the thread over here so everyone could have some fun.  So I posted this:



Strake and I went back and forth on it to come up with something that worked well.  I thought we came up with some decent marketing copy for a couple of amateurs.  So I posted it, and got this back:



Damnit!  You win this time Turbine!

I have wanted to do this since Thursday.  It's been killing me to wait.  I actually woke up with that sinking feeling saying to myself, "Oh yeah, I was going to do that!" 

Then I get the moderated reply.  Arrgghhh!  I had to screen shot it, edit the pic, post it to photobucket, and share it with you guys.

You are right though, it is late.  I'm going to bed.  Good night!

How long does it usually take for a moderator to look at something and approve/veto it?

Also curious to know if Strakeln would consider changing any aspects of Vault posting to get this link approved. I'm guessing probably not as it's contrary to what the Vault is for - but it could have some positive outcomes.

Maybe more direct interaction with Turbine/DDO staff?

Sorry, but as long as the content of the vault stays the way it is, it will not be a topic of discussion on the official forums.

I probably would have made it more neutral and less like an advertisement.  And less with the first person plural.  Tongue 

ETA: But I like the idea quite a lot, well done in general.  Smiley

I think there should be mention of the abrasiveness of this place as well. Like saying "Grow a thick skin or get the fuck out" kind of welcoming that is required around here.

Are you yoko5000 on the wiki?  Do you think we could get some exposure on the main page?  As it is, it would be nearly impossible to find that page unless you were specifically looking for it. 

I'm fairly certain that aside from the wiki, the vault is the second biggest DDO fansite out there.  For anyone who takes DDO as more of a hobby rather than a game, the vault is really the only place where you can have an open discussion with lots of other players.

At least one post to those forums has been cleared by the moderators.  Any thoughts on what sort of response we will get?

A) No response at all.
B) A rejection with no explanation.
C) Rejection citing specific requirements not met.
D) Rejection citing specific requirements not met along with examples.
E) Acceptance.
