You think it got what it takes to be..?.
God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

I don't mind it, heck, it's how I found some pretty cool groups!
What I don't like though is the copy/paste cookie cutter messages that they throw in there when they see someone's name came up a few times in the main forums.
If you send an invite, at least make it tailor-made for the person. Or, I dunno, something more personal than a "Hi Insert user name here I've seen you post in the forums and I think you'd be an excellent addition to our group! Please join."
Exactly. A set of guidelines for recruiting people into chapters:
1. Use PMs, not forums.
2. Only PM those you know to some degree and have seen around very often.
3. Personalize! Don't use a template, make it their own!
4. Interest them! Cater to them! Don't just say "Join my group cuz its cool!", give them details, make them an offer! If you're one of the first ten people to join a group of mine, I give you an immediate promotion! Little touches like that!
5. Make sure you're dealing with the right person. If you're trying to recruit people into a Marathon group, don't invite someone who's never played Marathon!
Feel free to add if you think of any others, guys.
I think you got everything.

6. Never invite a moderator. (speaking from experience)
