Hi HQ members and visitors,

This is a pretty long/topic thead so go crack and beer, coke or smoke etc and kick back and read what i have to say. I don't normally ask for alot of help but it's great when some of our genuine members post.

Had your smoke, drink, beer, or maybe your magurita yet? Well read on..

Ok lets start: I know you are all probably sick of me praying/begging for your help to promote the site over the years, but really it needs to be done.. Here we go,, this is gonna be one hell of a topic. Don't get sick of reading it, just have a break and then come back.. hahahahha

How the HQ Network websites will expand over the next few years

For 360-HQ and the HQ network to expand we need your help.. My current estimate is about that we need about 10-20 computer literate people (or are willing to learn - i will teach) to help us digg, twitter, tweetmeme (twitter app) and use our official 360-HQ FACEBOOK page.

IT'S NOT REALLY THAT HARD GUYS?!?!
If you're anything like me, you check your favorite websites everyday, then you check your email and other private mesages from your favorites sites.. Also, you might even check how your torrents are going.. (heheh legal of course).

Well, could you add a few more things to your daily habbits?? It's not much to ask really..

If any member can please reply to this thread/topic as i would really appreciate it.. Even if you don't have time just reply and let me know.

If you are already supporting the site and promoting it tell us how.. I will now give you all several ways to help promote 360-HQ.


HOW TO PROMOTE 360-HQ - Made by Gamers, for Gamers

Option#1- (AUTOMATIC DAILY HELP HQ)
The easiest way to support us it the Automatic method.
All you need to do is get your own twitter account if you don't already.. This will only take a few minutes.. Once you have your twitter account you can visit a special twitter enabled website which will post all our Xbox 360 Games, Trailers and Achievements/News to your own twitter account.. This is a great way for you to gain new followers or get to learn twitter as a newbie, while helping 360-HQ.

You can also setup your twitter account to post our news to your facebook pages.. It looks great and provide all the latest gaming info for your friends.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST AND EASIEST METHODS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T HAVE THE TIME! IT USES A FREE WESITE CALLED "tweetmeme"

#6 360-HQ LIKE buttons for Games, Achievements, News

Option#6- FaceBook LIKE BUTTONS on the HQ website

You may noticed recently I have added facebook like buttons for our content here on 360-HQ. For example, when you look at a game, a news article (in full), tutorial, or achievement you can now LIKE it.. This is another great way to promote via facebook.

Option#6- Contact your facorite websites and ask to link trade with 360-hq.com or our sister site xbox-hq. All you have to do is email the webmaster and ask.. It would help us alot. (current we have 221 inbound links from reputable websites.


Anyway, sorry for rambling but the site has been expanding really well lately and i would like it to expand even further in the months to come.. I have been doing alot of work getting ready to update the HQ's.. Just want the members to get involved..

I hope you all enjoy what I and few others have strived to keep online.. A big thankyou to all our current and previous administrators and moderators who have built HQ into what it is today. Cheers to you all, you know who you are..

Not to ungodly long of a post lol. I just wanted to say I really appreciate what you guys do on here and not just 360 the whole hq netweork. I think just about all the modding I now how to do is because of the site and when ever any of my friends ask about modding I always tell 'em to come here. It just seems like things are easier to find on this site so it makes it easy for the new guys. I'll do the whole facebook I like thing and look around on there I hope I can remember my logon creds lol havent been on there in forever lol. wish I could help out more but I can barely remember to check my email after work lol

I agree with this.. I pretty much knew nothing about xbox and xbox 360 modding and what not, started doing some searching when i decided to give it a try and found the hq networks and thank god i did lol, i wouldnt know half as much as i do now if it wasnt for the network, plus i feel like i can trust here better than anywhere else lol.

Hobbs, i sent you a pm.
