Assignment 5: Affiliation Part 2

~Assignment 5: Affiliation Part 2~

It's a good practice to reconnect with lost affiliates, but that's a small (and easy) part of affiliating. In order to be able to refresh a relationship with another site, you've got to have a relationship in the first place. Choosing what sites to affiliate with is a little tougher than you might think. You don't want to ask any site to affiliate, but you also don't want to take too much time away from your home site. This balance can be pretty tough, but it does help if you have a lot of free time. For those who don't, here are a few tips to keep in mind when trying to create new affiliates.

Affiliation Tips
 
1. Get to know the community. The community is the most important part of any affiliation. If the community is bad, or if it won't be a fit of your own community, then you obviously don't want to affiliate with that site. It's hard to be able to gauge how friendly a site is with just a few visits, especially since most sites tend to be more friendly to new members. Spending a solid week getting to know the members should give you a pretty good idea whether or not the community is good or bad.

2. Learn the site. Get to know how the site works and how the staff operate. You don't have to be a pro member or anything like that, but you do need to know what kind of site you're supporting. This is also a good opportunity to get some ideas for your home forum if you examine how other sites operate.

3. Get Involved. Don't just read the rules and talk to people. Get involved in the site's primary activities, whether it's discussing MegaMan or role playing as Naruto. This is the best way to get to know the feel for a site, and it certainly takes up the most time. It's also a polite gesture to contribute to a community before requesting affiliation.

4. Be polite! You represent your home forum when you look to affiliate with other places. If you're being an egotistical jerk, you give your forum the impression that it's full of similar people. You should be polite and friendly at all times. I also suggest you don't say you're looking for potential affiliates when you join. Wait until you're positive you want to affiliate with the site before you pop the question.


Assignment: Establish an affiliation with another site. It doesn't have to be MegaMan related, but do your homework and follow the tips listed above. You should be able to write a basic report about the site once you're done. Make sure you check with other staff before you finalize your affiliations. You have 1 week to at least give a report on sites you're looked at.

Here are a few sites I've had my eyes on for awhile. I haven't done any research on these guys yet, but it's a start.

The MegaMan Network (TMMN)

MegaMan X9

The Rockman EXE Zone (TREZ)

You aren't going to get TREZ I can tell you that now. Nemo took out all affiliation links except Protodude(For obvious reasons) and Mechanical Maniacs(Dunno why). He also won't accept any either. He's close with MaxRock but he doesn't even get an affiliation spot for Chrono X on the site, just a topic discussing the game which can sometimes get buried.

Sorry but that boat was sunk long ago.

Maybe it won't hurt to try? You never know, and you can at least find out more about why they don't if you wanted to pursue it. The sites I listed are just some ideas to help you guys out. That just means you've got to work even harder to find a potential affiliate.

Nemo believes that the affiliates were not giving any members to the site, and were in fact stealing them from TREZ. He is very deadset in that opininon/decision. I saw one of the old affiliates come on their chatango shortly after it happened and go 'Why'd you cut our affiliation? We're active, have a large member base, and several of us are active members here as well!' and argued for like a half hour about it. And even then he wouldn't give in.

Also, back when we went to revamp V4 I looked into getting an affiliation with TREZ because I knew it would possibly increase our member base(and I'm fairly active there). Then (and for now), they have no plans to affiliate with anyone, not as long as Nemo has that mindset -_- If we were more active and had more members it might be possible, but in this state it isn't.

As an somewhat active TREZ member I know things. :)

I've got dibs on X9 seeing as how I already have a char idea. No, I'm not remaking Giga Man twice.

I can already say that they've got a good community. They have an active staff and rankings for characters. The site is focused mostly on the Megaman X series and encourages RP. I have yet to RP as my char lacks approval. I will give an update in the future if possible.
