Promote your board by becoming part of a vB Ring. Adds a button to the bottom of your site that, if clicked, opens a new window with a random link to any other forum in the vB Ring.

Your site will be randomly linked to from all the other forums in the list.

To be added to the list, you need to :
a) Add your boards name below (to prove it is legal)
b) Install this hack, so you are participating in the ring

Optionally email me to get your site on the list, after posting it here. Just in case I miss it on this thread.

1 template mod :

Admin CP > Style Manager > Edit Templates > FOOTER

Find :
PHP Code:
<div align="center">
    <
div class="smallfont" align="center">
    <!-- Do 
not remove this copyright notice -->
    
$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
    <!-- Do 
not remove this copyright notice -->
    </
div
Before it, add :
PHP Code:
<center>
<
p>
<
a href="http://www.davespikey.net/random/rand_link.pl" target="_blank">
<
img src="http://www.davespikey.net/random/vbring.jpg" width="200" height="27" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.davespikey.net/random/vbring.htm"><img src="http://www.davespikey.net/random/more.jpg" width="35" height="27" border="0">
</
a
</
p>
<
p>
</
p>
</
center
Save.... and you're done!

Of course, the JPG images can point to whatever images you like.

Demo here

Enjoy!!!

If sites remove the banner, then they will be removed from the list, to make it fair

Definitely works, certainly for the small to mid-sized forums who rely on an influx of noobs. Please ensure you keep the link on your site, it's only fair! Also please report any site not linking!

As ever, the current list is available at :

I've added the buttons. Actually I made some different sized ones you might want to add to your first post.

Please add my site:

just wondering has anyone seen any positive traffic from this ? i had it for a month or 2 and never had a new sign up from it.. just seems like it's giving the owner of the main site more traffic then anything ?
just my thoughts

I checked my referal stats, this system didn't even compete with signiture links. I'm opting out of the system and removing my links. Remove me from the ring when you can.
