Well, we're less than 2 weeks away from midnight madness. I can't believe the season is already starting up again.
As mentioned before, promoting this board at midnight madness is a great idea, and is key in making this site grow. So is anybody going to take charge of this?
We'll need small flyers printed out and then people to pass them out. Is anyone here able to participate? I, unfortunately, can offer little help since I don't live in the area anymore.
But, if we're going to be serious about this, we'll need to get the ball rolling soon. We don't want October 14th coming around with no game plan whatsoever.
So, post any ideas here and if you're willing to help in some way, post here. The flyers can be generic....if it came down to it, all they would need is the link on them....there's really no need for fancy logos and what not...although if it can be done, then that's great.
Ideas?

I've been working on a logo for the site/flyer and can do all the printing. I just need students or others whom I can meet up with and they can do the handing out outside of the pavilion...still not sure if its better before or after.

I'd help out. I am not really sure what I can do, but I will help out. However, due to a new job, my attendance at Midnight Madness is now in jeopardy.

Soooo.....
Is our promotion idea scrapped due to lack of volunteers, new jobs, and the White Sox?
Is anybody going to Midnight Madness at all? If it came down to it, we could just pass out the link to random people inside the Pavilion...there's no need to stand outside and miss anything...

Somebody, PLEASE!!!!
I would do more if I were not halfway across the country. I would be willing to pay for the flyers to be printed.

I wouldn't want to ask anyone to do that as they could be kicked out for soliciting. While we don't make money, proboards does because of the ads and technically, it's just not a great idea from that perspective. I sort of gave up due to the lack of interest from people. My mind can change in an instant though, and if anyone wants to pick up flyers from me tomorrow or I can drop them off, I'll do it. |

How bout we pass them out on the off/on ramps just like the people selling socks and pinwheels. Definately would be unique to uic, that's for sure... lol go flames.. |

I really don't think it would be a problem. It could be something as simple as taking a walk around the seats for 30 minutes before the action begins and saying "check out uichoops.com" to random people...then give them a small sheet with the link on it....
If someone thought you were soliciting and wanted you to stop, then you just stop and say you didn't know. Honestly, we're helping UIC...we're like unofficial employees of the athletic department...
In the end, it's up to you guys. If we don't do it now, then people will just have to find this place on their own, which is not a big deal, but we've talking about doing this for months. FlameFan and I can't be around to help....otherwise we'd do it. I do appreciate your willingness to make flyers though UICJason.

Well, I couldn't even do it myself if I tried. I thought there would be some people who were going anyway that could do it. I won't even be attending now, and I think a lot of others won't be as well. It's not often this city has a team in the LCS.
It's too bad.
We could very well do the flyer thing at the first game.
