I was very lazy when coming across Zelaron, personally... I was a "long time reader, first time poster", when I first posted. It was pretty interesting to know things about regular members and about their status/reputation before my first post.
A few friends of mine signed up initially, then guest started to come. And for those myriads of people who ask me how Zelaron has become so successful, the secret is just to give users a reason to come.

I really just had no reason to post in the D2 forum most of the time, becuase if I had questions about progs and what not I could just read other people's posts... until I finally had a question about Pindlebot one time.
I came here after seeing the short-lived banner at www.somethingawful.com and signed up immediately. I guess I was bored or something but it grew on me so I stayed.
Over two years ago there was a banner at SA for one month. It didn't bring enough hits so it didn't stay for the next month. Ask Chruser about it if you must know.

Oh.
So, atleast now i get to blame somebody.
I joined about a week after i was reading. I was looking for d2 free accounts or something, and i saw a post about taco selling accounts. I looked around, for about a week, and signed up.
