For those seeking technical forge help I am starting a series tomorrow on Common Forge Questions so remember to look out for that. I have gotten a lot of the same questions and it will probably be best to have a full compilation of all of them in one place. I will update the first post with a link to it when I start the index of them.
Until then here is Lesson 26. It is continuing the advertisement topic that many have asked me to write about. This is probably one of my most successful techniques that have helped me advertise all of my content... not just my maps and gametypes, but also these forge lessons, and my game/level design blog @ ReachingPerfection.com... the home of these lessons, game design/level design articles, my content, and soon to be my favorite content that I have found while playing customs with friends. If you really want to get in contact with me, that is probably the best place.
Anyways, here is the link and synopsis of Forge Lesson 26:
Lesson 26: Nurturing
* Nurturing in advertising is all about turning your fans from casual fans who download your content to hardcore fans that spread your content
* Taking the time to personally interact with a fan is the best way to get their attention and build your credibility with them
* Never let a fan slip by, always at least respond and acknowledge that you know they exist
