Hello everyone! I'm making this thread to act as a guide to helping get the word out on the Parts War. Also, here's where where to upload posters and other materials. :] But first I want to say thank you to all of you who are doing your part to help get the word out! This is community belongs to all of us! :3
So, to start off, you don't want to go around spamming places commanding people to join us. That'd be silly and we'd look like jerks. Also, we want to avoid telling people that we're the next best thing since the wheel. Even though some think we are, like me xP lulz, others may not feel exactly as you do, and that's okay. We don't want to sound pompous or sound like we're perfect. One of the biggest mistakes we can make is sounding like we've thought of everything. If that were true, I would've figured out how to create a trail of flames through alchemic transmutation by know. xD Lulz This may sound like its harder than anticipated. Trust me, its not. :3 Its actually rather simple. I'm going to go over some helpful key points that'll make our burst into the public's eye a force so great, it'll need an eye patch after word. lulz Anyway, lame jokes aside...
Stick to what you know.
What could a person discuss that's easier? Probably nothing. On top of that, people are usually most knowledgeable about the things they're passionate about. When you speak with someone or a group for the first time, you don't want to make the mistake of making assumptions or making shit up as you go along. lulz That's probably the worse thing a person can do. Its important to take what you know and lay it all out in a way that's easiest to get across to the person or group. When you stick to what you know and relay that info in an easy to understand way, you, believe it or not, SOUND and APPEAR to know what you're talking about. This makes people feel confident, especially total strangers.
Do your reasearch.
Sticking to what you know is great and all, but what if something new pops up or you feel like your understanding of something is a bit fuzzy? How does one expand what they know so they can talk about more? That's easy, research! That may sound boring or lame, but, in reality, everyone does it. The only difference is they may now call it that or may not be consciously aware that they are doing it. XD Lulz We're all on a quest to learn as long as we're alive and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! Its important to keep up with the latest PWN info to make sure what you're telling everyone is stil valid and accurate. Use all the tools at your disposal to make sure your understanding of something is clear and complete! Make threads, contact the staff, check out our social network pages and accounts. Do whatever you need to do in order to keep up with the latest in all things Parts War!
Make your own PWN media and materials.
Make an awesome piece of Parts War inspired art or Parts War videos! The cool thing about our skating community is that a lot of us have unique skills we gained from other hobbies and passions of our's, such as making AMV's, drawing fanart, web development, app development and more. If you want to help out the Parts War, the best way one can achieve that is by using their best talents to do so! Some may think this isn't a big deal, but it actually makes a HUGE difference. I would very honored to see people doing this, to be honest. I think nothing pays a bigger compliment than another person to utilize their unique skill or talent to create something. :] If you've ever thought, "Parts War could definitely use [Insert Idea]" and you're able to make it happen, help us out by doing so or let us know! Someone may be able to help you make it.
Share your Parts War creations with the world.
So, you've made your Parts War masterpiece? Share it with the world! Share it on your social network accounts or post it here! Show your friends and/or family and see if they'd like to share it with their's. This will not only help get some attention on your talents, but you'll also be giving us a huge hand! Of course, we'd love to see your work on here, so be sure to post it in this thread so we can check it out! xD Whether its posts, info and art from the official Parts War pages or a friend's Parts War related post or art, get it out there where people can see it! This is really important! The more we share, the more we get out there, the more eyes will get to look our way.
Support one another.
This can be done in many ways and each one is just as important as the other! This is critical and not very difficult at all. If you see someone's Parts War related post, artwork or video, share it. Its as easy as sharing it on your social network accounts. xD haha This also show's the world our comradery and that we're all on the same side. Provide constructive criticism in hopes of helping the individual, not harming them. If you like something, share it with the world, regardless of who made it. If you have a suggestion or something you want to let the world know about Parts War and may need help, reach out! No one can do very much if you keep to yourself. NEVER be afraid to contact me or other staff members, too. Also, we can help get some attention thrown your way, too! So, if you help us, we'll be more than happy to help you! :]
This community is YOUR community. Take pride in it and the fact that the PWN has your back. ;] We're probably the most unique inline skating community out there and have so much potential to revolutionize the skating world if we all put our minds and hearts into it! I know mine are. haha Fuck, we are the skating revolution and we WILL take the world by storm!
