vB Ring - Promote your site (linking system with external list)

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

quite amusing.

yall can also use this that i edited out for easier use:

and have a network bar on your sites, if you want to network your sites to others...some how team up with people and put your sites and links and whatever in the dropdowns.

Why would somebody want to promote another forum in theirs?

[funinthesun]

It's not about competition is it? It's about a reciprocal link really. Not everyone is going to want to sign up to other forums because people only join for something they have an interest in.

It's like banner exchange which I hate.
I think it's a matter of taste.

It's deliberately at the bottom. The premise is, if your forum is quiet then hopefully people will click the vB Ring button and thereby the recipricol links thing happens. As opposed to, I dunno, visiting BBC or Google, instead. Matter of taste totally agree!
