Hey guys.
Thanks for your interest in promoting DC.
Here's my answer to Uatu's points.
1- I've been a member of the FRUA community a lot longer than I've been a member of the DC community.
They're still active, but it's really cyclical with a lot of downtime. They are open to hearing about DC, since all of the original DCers came from the FRUA community. But, they don't particularly like us discussing DC related topics. They really just want announcements and questions/answers. Check out the latest newsletter (#38) to see a section on DC.
2- Believe it or not, from my many conversations with people interested in DC, lack of modules is not the number one reason why people don't check us out. The number one reason is that it's still not finished. (Reason number two is lack of a particular feature and reason number three is lack of playable modules.)
3- Here's what I do currently: I post here (hey, why not start with the obvious), I post at the yahoo list, I maintain a DC club/forum for 3D artists at the ArtZone, I post on the FRUA list, I have a blog at ArtZone for announcements to the broader community there about goings on, I post at the SoucreForge forums (I don't mean the ones through the DC site, though I do post there as well.) like Help Wanted, etc, I post on/maintain the official DC site, I post/maintain my own DC fan site, I post (very occasionally at Bartok's Tower (a table-top AD&D forum/site), I talk our project up to people I go to school with (CS folk), I've sent reviews/info to various game maker sites in the past (but not on a regular basis), I've sent DC links to every search engine I can think of
, I've posted a lot about DC to the RuneSword community (which I maintain the official website for and do art for), I used to have a LiveJournal blog about DC (I guess I still do, I just never post in it anymore), I've posted comments on various blogs, forums, etc.
So, I would love any suggestions for more things I could do. Links to sites that might publish something about us are always cool.
(Though, don't get me started about the Wikipedia community, several times tried and several times relegated to a subnote of the FRUA section or just flat out deleted.)
Mostly, I would like some help with this. For example, Uatu, your blog is a really cool idea. It's something I've been toying around with doing to my site for a while (I'd been discussing this on the yahoo list, but nobody is awake over there most of the time). People posting about us in other forums and on other sites is the best way probably, to get the word out.
