405:, FYI, is a site with software that tracks Web sites and ranks them according to their relative traffic; a number of us use it to gauge the relative popularity of a website. A ranking above #1000 is pretty darn good, much below #10,000 fairly insignificant, below #100,000 a blip at best. If you don't register at all, you've just not established any degree of importance. I'll tell you what, though; take your website to Britannica or Encarta and see if you can get them to include yours. If they sign off on it, it'll be good enough for us.
696:. You're running out of time to do so. Let me phrase this in a way that might resonate with you: this is like me asking you to be credited with winning a computer game without actually playing it, and figuring that if I'm persistent enough in asking I'll be handed the credit for victory, no monster-bashing or problem-solving required. Possibly you might want me to prove I can do what I claim I did before you give me props for doing so.

Obviously this forum is stronger than most advertised here at
Knowledge (XXG). I am not calling this advertising because it isn't. It's a legit article on a legit internet site. Now, if you delete this one, you would, in theory, have to get rid of the NSider article, GTF Outsider, and all of the

Sir or Maam, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in discusion is now dumber for having listened to it, and may God

Knowledge (XXG) activity of the editor ... of course it's an advertisement; what else would this article about one of the many thousands of gaming fora be? (And yes, we're pretty proactive over deleting such articles.)

Divine Boards does meet the criteria... It has published works within it from various members that do not own the site... The forum is ranked higher than most forums on the invisionfree directory... I am not sure what more there is, but it seems good enough to

Heh, who knows, but perhaps Mr. Anonymous there could consider a few facts: (a) Nsider is the official

I dont know what "Alexa" is, but I dont need "Alexa" to tell me that we have a community that is on the internet... It is a piece of history that needs to be included in this encyclopedia.--

No, I did not misunderstand you... Divine posts updates on events relating (V-Games) and members post reviews. I agree that these are contained within posts, but it is just as affective...

Okay, then I will spell it out; a

This conversation seems over, yes, but possibly not in the way you would wish. As Matt correctly points out, you've completely failed to demonstrate how this board passes

Is this conversation over? You haven't deleted the article, so it must meet the requirements to stay, right? Can we take the 'article for deletion' tag off of it now?
