Help The Forum Grow - Spread The Word - 12-06-2004, 10:24 AM


With your help I know we can aquire a large base of texas area photogs in order to share photo locations and information...

i have registered a few domains for 4 areas of Texas.

HoustonPhotogs.com
AustinPhotogs.com
SanAntPhotogs.com
DallasPhotogs.com

All 4 domains point to this forum so please feel free to spread the word about this forum to all of the photographers you know in your area or in other forums! This will definitely help out.

well it wasnt 150, it was actually about 250 since my account at Meetup.com capped out for the month...

apparently we're only allowed to send out 250 emails to other members on the website per 30 days and ive met that limit within ohhh say the first 24 hours. hehe.

i sent them to san ant, austin, dallas and houston people in all sorts of photography groups...

oh well i only had a small handful left to send out... i guess they will have to be left out of the 'cool kids circle'... hehee jk.

what sucks is i PAID for the service in order to reach these different people and then i find out theres a limit on emails. that was not disclosed when i signed up... I guess they were too busy worrying about collecting my money than to mention the full details of the "membership plan"

We officially added a link to this site on our "forums" drop down menu at the TM&T website. I hope it brings more photographers this way, I have noticed a few already. Keep up the great work here, I enjoy seeing everyone's images!

Abel,
I have also spread the word around to a few of my friends here as two of them have signed up and both of them are joining me for the shoot in Round Rock next weekend, and I am also a member of a few MSN Photography forums and plan on spreading the word there over the weekend as well.

Hope this helps in some way.

Steve
